RE: Possible Use Model For Time Consuming Tasks

Per,
 
Technically we now only allow that for imported functions.
 
What you've described is, by definition (as per SystemVerilog LRM)
an imported task, not an imported function.
 
I think for the time being, SCE-MI only supports imported
functions. Imported functions can not - directly or indirectly -
consume time. Only imported tasks can.

Yes.  I think we allow that.
