RE: [sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] svlog enum function usage & maven query

Dave,

According to 13.5.5, the parentheses in a call to a nonvoid function
'funct' cannot not be omitted, hence "funct.next" must refer to the
static variable "top.funct.next", which is initialized to "C" at time 0.

Are you sure that

    http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=331

enables "%p" to format values of non-aggregate data types, such as an
enumeration value like "C"?

OK then, what is the result of this example?

module top;

   typedef enum {A,B,C,D,E,F,G} letters;

   function letters funct;
      letters next = C;
      return E;
   endfunction

initial begin
   $display("%p",funct.next );
   end
   
endmodule
