"restrict" is familiar from PSL, but (like any new keyword that is a fairly common English word) it has a good chance of conflict with existing user code. Choosing a more obscure keyword would cloud the intent and is at least as undesirable. Might it make sense to use the existing keyword "constraint" in place of "restrict"? I don't think there would be any syntactic ambiguity with randomization constraints, and the meaning of the word is fairly well aligned with the intent. An obvious drawback is that "constraint" is a noun, whereas the other directives "cover", "assume" and "assert" are verbs. -- Jonathan Bromley, Consultant DOULOS - Developing Design Know-how VHDL * Verilog * SystemC * e * Perl * Tcl/Tk * Project Services Doulos Ltd.
