Re: more on Bernard's SCE-MI 2.0 issue

Hi Per,

I try to adopt the rules in:

http://www.sunburst-design.com/papers/CummingsSNUG2000SJ_NBA.pdf

where you'll find:

Guideline #5: Do not mix blocking and nonblocking assignments in the 
same always block.

Clearly a blocking assignment to a variable breaks this guideline, plus 
there's another example of a redundant assignment in the same clocked block:

    dummy_rv = ReportTransaction( TransactionArg_q_r );

The 'dummy_rv' variable is never used so hopefully it gets optimized away.


As I said before, I'm no synthesis guru!

Regards

Bernard
