RE: [sv-bc] Question on string data type

A string is neither an array nor a structure, so no, it cannot be the target of an assignment pattern.

Hi,
       Can assignment pattern be used on string type variable?

Consider the testcase,
module top;
    string s;
    initial begin
        s = '{s};                // legal?
        s = string'{s};      // legal ?
    end
endmodule

Some standard simulators do support these.

Thanks and Regards,
Ishita.
