Hi, In Draft 4, 10.8 says that the following are assignment-like contexts: - For a parameter with an explicit type declaration: - A parameter value assignment in a module, interface, program, or class - A parameter value override in the instantiation of a module, interface, or program - A parameter value override in the instantiation of a class or in the left-hand side of a class scope operator And then at the end: No other contexts shall be considered assignment-like contexts. In particular, none of the following shall be considered assignment-like contexts: - A static cast - A default correspondence between an expression in an assignment pattern and a field or element in a data object or data value - A port expression in a module, interface, or program declaration - The passing of a value to a subroutine ref port - A port connection to an inout or ref port of a module, interface, or program Should the second list include parameter assignments and overrides for parameters without type declarations? In that case, the parameter gets the type and value of what is assigned to it. In the second case, the value expression is calculated as self-determined. In the first case, the value expression is context-determined, with the operands being size-extended to the size declared in the parameter type declaration, where that size can itself be a function of other parameters? (I'm thinking of the case where the parameter is declared with a parameterized size.)
