RE: [sv-bc] nested modules under generate construct

Daniel,
 
You are correct that the current BNF does not allow design element
declarations to be generated.
 
I don't know if this restriction was on purpose, but I don't see why the
allowed generation of type declarations (for example, class
declarations) would be relevant to the issue.  You can declare a type in
a procedural block, too.

Subject: [sv-bc] nested modules under generate construct


IEEE1800 BNF forbids to put nested module declaration under generate:
 
module m;
    parameter p = 9;
    generate if (p)
        module mm;
        endmodule
    endgenerate
endmodule
 
This was done on purpose or this was just missed.
IE class declaration is allowed to be used in generate clause.
