RE: [sv-cc] import/export function result types

In SV, a scalar is a one-bit value. "Singular" would be closer.

A possible replacement for this term is "scalar values".

That is the term used in VHDL and is probably less vague.

Hi,

In Draft 3, 34.2.2 says,

A rich subset of SystemVerilog data types is allowed

for formal arguments of import and export functions, although with some
restrictions and with some notational

extensions. Function result types are restricted to small values,
however (see 34.5.5).

and 34.5.5 has a similar statement and details the exact restrictions.

However the phrase "small values" sounds strange.

In what way are real, longint, and string 'small', for example?

Thanks,

Shalom
