| Description |
12.3.4 (para before last): "Also ports declared using the list_of_port_declarations shall only be simple identifiers." 12.3.2 (end): "Use of named port connections shall not be used for implicit ports unless the port_expression is a simple port_identifier." 12.3.6 (para 1): "If the module port declaration was implicit, the port_expression shall be a simple port_identifer which is used as the port name." These, especially the first, could be misinterpreted to mean that escaped identifiers are not allowed, which is wrong. The meaning is to exclude expressions, concatenations, bit-selects and part-selects, etc. The wording should be clarified. |
| Fix |
In 12.3.4 (para before last) REPLACE "Also ports declared using the list_of_port_declarations shall only be simple identifiers." WITH "Also ports declared using the list_of_port_declarations shall only be simple identifiers or escaped identifiers." In 12.3.2 (end) REPLACE "Use of named port connections shall not be used for implicit ports unless the port_expression is a simple port_identifier." WITH "Named port connections shall not be used for implicit ports unless the port_expression is a simple identifier or an escaped identifier, which shall be used as the port name." AND "port_expression" should be in a constant-width font, rather than italicized. In 12.3.6 (para 1), REPLACE "If the module port declaration was implicit, the port_expression shall be a simple port_identifer which is used as the port name." WITH "If the module port declaration was implicit, the port_expression shall be a simple identifier or escaped identifier, which shall be used as the port name." |
