EDITOR’S NOTE:
Elsewhere in this LRM, system task/function names are not bolded, as they are
not keywords. They are shown as code statements, using the Courier font. I
followed that convention in this section, except in the syntax boxes, where
they are shown in bold (and red) along with required syntax such as ( ).
When $readmemh or $readmemb is given a
file with address entries, initialization of the specified highest dimension
words is done. If the file contains insufficient words to completely fill a
highest dimension word, then the remaining sub words are left unchanged.
When a memory
contains multiple packed dimensions, the memory words in the pattern file are
composed of the sum total of all bits in the packed dimensions. The layout of packed bits in packed dimensions
is defined in section 4.3.
