Re: BTF: do we need to specify order of elements in arrays?

Good afternoon Stefen:

You are correct, no one has understood memory elements to be concatenated to each
other when using the memory without specifying a single element. There is only
one case being considered when this would be useful - structures.

There have been two people noting that it would be nice for structures to
allow memory type definitions. If structures is completed and allows memories
then a definition of the order would be necessary.

As an example:

truct dword
  reg [7:0] byte[7:0];
endstruct

truct cache_line
  struct dword dword[3:0];
endstruct
