Re: [sv-bc] Is "var" required for real ports?

There are only two contexts where 'var' is required, as described in --

    Footnote A.14.

    6.10

Neither of these correspond to 'var real'.

Subject: [sv-bc] Is "var" required for real ports?



I has been brought to my attention that one SV simulator requires a
"real"
module port to be declared as "var real", and other simulator as just
"real".  I cannot find any justification in the LRM for "var" being
required to declare a real port.  This difference in simulators is
third-hand...I don't have the product licenses to test the claim.

If "var" is required, can anyone point me to exactly where that is
specified in the LRM?
