Kev., the last thing in one cycle is not the same as the first thing in
the next cycle, by virtue of that pesky "next" word there. -My- opinion
is that $monitor and assert should be in same spot. As you know, the
issue of rosynch callback, rwsynch callback, nonblocking,
$monitor/$strobe has been interpreted, re-interpreted, and
mis-interpreted for ages, and that is when only "design" is there, with
"stimulus" this is bound to be even more vague.

My point is this should be clearly defined ... so that both -your-
opinion and mine can at least be resolved by clearly defined semantics
in the LRM, if not made allowance for i.e. one could argue that this is
a degree of freedom that must be left to tool providers, in which case
that statement should be made. Therefore re-emphasizing the need for
splitting the two stages, assertion and stimulus.

My point clear now ?

Salam
-Bassam.
