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

By the way, in Hebrew, the word "isha", almost the same, means "lady".

Hi Shalom,
No, Ishita (she is a lady, not he) is asking about the target of assignment pattern. If it is a string array, then recursive rule will be applied on the assignment pattern.

Brad,
Please let me know I am incorrect.

Regards
Surya

I think he was asking about the contents of the assignment pattern, not about the target.
Besides, suppose the target was an array of strings.

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.
