Re: [Iverilog-devel] Is it illegal to use an (enum) as a function input?

I believe Icarus does not currently support using enums as function arguments.

  #yiv8414253916 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}I'm still very much interested in finding out whether or not it's possible for a Verilog function to have a boolean value as input, but while I was waiting for input on that I decided to rewrite a version of my Verilog code to use an (enum) instead of a (boolean). Much to my amazement, it appears that I can't use an (enum) as an input to a function either! I wrote the following code:
module useBin ();
typedef enum { ADD, MULTIPLY } binOp;
function integer execOp;    input integer left;    input integer right;    input   binOp op;  begin    execOp = op == ADD ? left + right : left * right;  endendfunction
endmodule
When I ran Icarus to simulate it I got:
D:\Hf\Verilog\Unpacked\Common>ive useBin\Icarus\bin\iverilog -g2009 -o useBin.out useBin.svuseBin.sv:8: syntax erroruseBin.sv:5: error: Syntax error defining function.
D:\Hf\Verilog\Unpacked\Common>
I can kind of understand why a (boolean) might cause a problem when used as a function input, but why in the world would it be illegal to use an (enum) like my (binOp) as a function input?_______________________________________________
