Hi, Radek.

This is already legal, it is done all the time.

The intent of the LRM is "an expression whose value is .".

Regards,

Shalom

Subject: [sv-cc] String concatenation as dumpfile argument

Hi All,

I have question about string concatenation as $dumpfile argument.

Is it legal ?

LRM says:

"

21.7.1.1 Specifying name of dump file ($dumpfile)

The $dumpfile task shall be used to specify the name of the VCD file. The
syntax for the task is given in

Syntax 21-14.

dumpfile_task ::=

$dumpfile ( filename ) ;

Syntax 21-14-Syntax for $dumpfile task (not in Annex A)

The filename is an expression that is a string literal, string data type, or
an integral data type containing a

character string that names the file to be opened. The filename is optional
and defaults to the string literal

"dump.vcd" if not specified.

"

And whant about string concatenation?

It would be very usefull ;

example;

string path,file

$dumpfile({path,file});

Path can be hardcoded and file can he parameter of plusarg argument.

I propose to change:

"

The filename is an expression that is a string literal, string data type, or
an integral data type containing a

character string that names the file to be opened. The filename is optional
and defaults to the string literal

"dump.vcd" if not specified.

"

to:

"

The filename is an expression that is a string literal, string data type,
an integral data type or concatenation and replication of above.

 Such expression  contains a character string that names the file to be
opened. The filename is optional and defaults to the string literal

"dump.vcd" if not specified.

"

Regards,

Radek
