Hi, Greg.

Thinking about Stephan's suggestion led me (a synthesis guy) to wonder about how simulation would treat either
a warning, error, or an assertion for out-of-bounds in the case where the index value (typically a multibit bus)
behaves in a "glitchy" manner?

As I tried to imagine an assertion to do this job , the question of Immediate vs Deferred Immediate semantics
emerged, which led to my current question.  Do glitchy index values ever corrupt a simulation?
[SB] Yes, glitchy writes are a big problem. Glitchy reads are usually much less of a problem, though in certain cases they can be problems also, such as when reading an interrupt or status bit clears the bit.

Regards,
Shalom
