RE: FW: [sv-ac] call to vote on 2088

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your clarification. I suggest adding a meta-note (in
green) explaining that this example relies on 2149. The Mantis itself
should also contain a dependency on 2159.

Hi Dmitry,

A covergroup can be triggered either by a clocking event (@(posedge 
clk)) or by a procedural call to its sample() method.  The default 
sample() method has no arguments.

However, Mantis 2149, which has been approved by the working group, 
allows the user to create a custom sample() method with formal 
arguments.  So in my example, the coverpoint now covers the formal 
argument of the covergroup sample() method, not the signal of the same 
name in the checker scope.

I hope this helps,

Tom
