In 12.1.3, paragraph 7: CHANGE "Parameter redefinition using by the ordered or named parameter = value assignment or defparam statements can also be declared within the generate scope." TO "Parameters may be redefined using the defparam statements (12.2.1) or module instance parameter value assignments (12.2.2) within the generate scope." |

Do you mind proposing better wording?

I did not actively follow the discussions on 'generate' nor have I thoroughly read this section of the standard, so I am not so familiar with this area. If I have time, I can try to decode it, but it would be better if someone who is familiar with it explained what was meant. I don't know whether the sentence was meant to refer to declarations or redefinitions or whether two different sentences got garbled together.

In 12.1.3 (Generated instantiation), the first sentence in paragraph 7 says, "Parameter redefinition using by the ordered or named parameter = value assignment or defparam statements can also be declared within the generate scope." This is gibberish. Based on the idea that the sentence is supposed to be talking about parameter redefinition, I proposed the following change: "Parameters may be redefined within the generate scope by defparam statements (12.2.1) or module instance parameter value assignments (12.2.2)." Note that Cliff sent a different correction in his letter to IEEE, to simply delete the fourth and fifth words "by the", but that does not still not fix the sentence.

I did not see it before, but 12.1.3 para. 9 explicitly forbids parameter declarations. By the way, I saw that 3.11.2 (on localparams) also needs to be reworded similarly to this erratum. I'll write that one up separately.
