RE: [sv-bc] Query reagarding protect pragma keywords

Hi,

The LRM defines "`pragma reset <pragma_keyword>" as follows:

"22.11.1 Standard pragmas

The reset and resetall pragmas shall restore the default values and state of pragma_keywords associated with the affected pragmas. These default values shall be the values that the tool defines before any SystemVerilog text has been processed. The reset pragma shall reset the state for all pragma_names that appear as pragma_keywords in the directive."

In this case, "protect" can be a pragma_keyword. So this would reset the state of the protect pragma.

`pragma protect reset is defined in 34.5.31:

"34.5.31 reset
34.5.31.1 Syntax
reset
34.5.31.2 Description
ENCRYPTION INPUT: The reset pragma expression is a synonym for a reset pragma directive that contains protect in the pragma keyword list. Following the reset, all protect pragma keywords are restored to their default values."

So this paragraph says that the two ways are equivalent.

Shalom
