[Just for the record]
Since "program" doesn't create any new objects only modifies access to existing
objects it seems to me that the "program" qualifier/attribute could be applied
at the statement level - e.g. preceding a statement with "program" modifies the
semantics of the statement (and the statement can be a block):
module test_bench;
initial program begin
// code with "program" semantics
end
If you need a task with program semantics you could do:
task foo(input a,output b)
program begin
// code with "program" semantics
end
endtask
It would also let you mix program and regular semantics in a long procedural
test:
module long_test;
initial begin
begin : test_1
// asynchronous test
end
program begin : test_2
// synchronous test
end
...
end
endmodule
Regards,
Kev.
