>Summary: Rules for passing automatic variables to
>sequence
>subroutines are not clear
>Description:
>In "16.11 Calling subroutines on match of a sequence" it is written:
>
>An automatic variable shall not be passed as an argument to a subroutine
>call either as input or ref type. An
>automatic variable may be used as a constant input for a subroutine call
>from an assertion statement in procedural
>code (see 16.15.5).
>
>This rule is contradictory, and probably the sentence "An automatic
>variable shall not be passed as an argument to a subroutine call either
>as
>input or ref type." should be deleted.
>
>Also note that the reference 16.15.5 is wrong, it should be 16.15.6
