RE: [sv-bc] Wrong example in "23.2.2.4 Default port values"

Since this is an obvious syntax error in a code example, and since examples
are "informative" non-binding text in the LRM, I am OK with treating this as
an editorial correction.  Please let me know the Mantis item number that is
created for this, so that I can mark it when I make the editorial
correction.  How is it an obvious code error like this can go undetected for
so long?

How embarrassing! You're quite correct on both points!

 

I would just delete both the override and the comment, as they are not
essential to the example.

 

This is clearly an editorial correction, in my opinion.

 

Thanks,

bus_conn #(My_DataIn = 8'hF0) bconn3 (dataout[7:0]);
// The parameter value in the bus_conn definition is overridden
// to 8'hF0

The highlighted portion is wrong both syntactically and semantically. Module
bus_conn does not have any parameter, and to override a parameter, this type
of syntax is not allowed.

Please correct the example. I am filing a Mantis against that. Hope in the
original version of LRM, all those incorrect examples will be corrected.
