RE: [sv-champions] Champions conference call May 21st, 2009 -- 2735

Sorry, Dave, but I didn't see this until after I voted 'No'.  I'll think it over tonight.

Brad,

The example in 8.11 has (relatively) well defined namespace search
rules, because after the first name, everything is a field or property
select.

What happens if you allow method calls, and that name is not found
locally? Do normal Verilog hierarchical search rules apply? In the
middle of dotted name? What about static variable names inside
functions?

There are not very hard problems to solve, but just not in the timeframe
we have for the ballot.

Dave
