Dave,
this restriction may have been because we thought that 1364 didn't allow
functions to appear in a parameter context.

However I understand form one our Verilog experts this has been and 1364
supports this with restrictions (see 10.3.5 of the 1364-2001)

Thanks,
--Martin

Subject: Clarification Regarding Constant Analog UDF's

Hello Graham, Hello all,
During last weeks call I inquired as to why we don't allow constant
analog user defined functions within the new revised BNF. Unfortunately
I didn't properly document the reasoning that was given and now I can't
remember.

Would it not also be a good idea to allow constant analog UDF's? I was
thinking this would be useful also in a analog only context as it would
give the option of assigning a complex expression to a parameter using a
analog UDF instead of using a macro function for example. This would
allow more flexibility for the user.

Regards
Dave
