[myhdl-list] len() of an intbv

[<sv...@te...>]

Hi all,

Is ther a particular reason why the number of bits (according to the len() finction is 1 in following example:

a = intbv(0, min=0, max=1)
len(a)
--> returns 1 instead of an expected 0

I thought 'a' can only store '0' in this case, and you don't need any bits for doing that. 

b = intbv(0,min=0,max=2)
len(b)
--> returns 1

This is not so important at the moment for me, but it should be interesting to know where this (according to me) unlogical behavior comes from.
