Re: Why is type for string parameters mandatory?

Hmm.

I assume then, that if you declared myParam as:
  parameter real myParam = 1.0;

and then overrode the value in a module instantiation
  myMod #(.myParam("abc")) myInst;

that this value "abc" would be coerced to real, and
there would be no warning or error?

There was a mantis item
  http://www.eda-stds.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000824
that might need to be reopened.
