Description

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The argument user_string to $value$plusargs is "either a string or a
register which is interpreted as a string".
(shouldn't that word "register" be something else?)

On the other hand, the argument string to $test$plusargs is just called
a string, which implies only a string literal.

But in Verilog-XL, a reg variable works also.

So, the sentence which appears in $value$plusargs, after correction,
should appear for $test$plusargs as well.

Fix
Change the first sentence of section 17.10.1 FROM:

This system function searches the list of plusargs for the
provided string.

TO:

This system function searches the list of plusargs for a
user specified plusarg string. The string is specified in
the argument to the system function as either a
string or a or non-real variable that is interpreted as a string.
This string shall not include the leading plus sign of
the command line argument.

Change the second sentence in 17.10.2:

REPLACE:
register

WITH:
non-real variable

REPLACE:
which

WITH:
that
