Section 7 items

All,

I am currently working on section 7, and up till now I've encountered two 
items for which now Mantis items are available, but which I recall have 
had some serious discussions in the past:
1. Support for looping and conditional generator statements (IEEE 
1364-2005, sec 12.4);
2. Support for multiple analog blocks within one module (related to item 
1);
(I'm not sure I have the formal names of these things right as I don't 
have the standards documents at hand)

For the first item: if only module instantiations are part of the 
generator constructs, then this could be solved without much issues during 
elaboration; however, if we also want to be able to use these generator 
constructs on analog blocks, we have to make a decision on item 2. I 
believe that in digital you can use the generator statements also for 
always and initial blocks, as well as for tasks, so the logical extension 
into the AMS domain would be to support analog blocks for this as well.

Is there any particular reason why multiple analog blocks would be hard to 
support? Wouldn't they just appear as (inline) subcircuits to the 
simulator kernel?

Cheers,
Marq
