Brad, thanks for the sanity check - I was quite diffident that what I was saying was correct! If the inability to specify unpacked array type parameter assignment was felt to be a problem, you could consider using "typedef" as an alternative syntax for type parameter assignment. Observe that localparam type param_name = old_type; is essentially identical to typedef old_type param_name; So why not permit the "typedef" form as a synonym for the type parameter assignment? And then it would be possible to do parameter typedef old_type [packed:dim] param_name [unpacked_dim]; -- Jonathan Bromley, Consultant DOULOS - Developing Design Know-how VHDL * Verilog * SystemC * e * Perl * Tcl/Tk * Project Services Doulos Ltd.
