Shalom, The LRM would be clearer if it referred to 'const'-qualified variables as "write-once variables", instead of as "constants" or "read-only variables" (7.18). Each instance of an SV write-once variable must be written exactly once, after the design has been elaborated and before the variable instance is read. (By saying 'instance' here, I am trying to take into account that a new instance of an automatic variable is created each time its scope is entered at run-time.) It would be a help to state this rule more explicitly. In particular, 7.18 should clarify that is a run-time error to read an "instance constant" before it is written. -- BradReceived on Tue Feb 14 15:20:39 2006
