#88 Syntax recognition of standard_pkg items
I had an interesting question from one of the people I work with. Can/should SVE treat items in "std_pkg" as keywords.
The 4 items I have been able to find are:
- semaphore
- mailbox
- randomize
- process
Methinks these can be treated as keywords but wanted to pose the question here instead of filing a bug, because they aren't keywords strictly speaking.
I can't come up with a good reason to treat them as keywords, and when I've
worked on standards, sometimes you can create real problems when you do
something like that. In other words: I don't see any gain, and why open up
a can that might have a worm in it?

Why not have an option to treat as keywords or not?
I'd actually like the same for the UVM classes and everything defined
inside of them.

Going to close this.
Hmm... That's an interesting thought, Erik. Perhaps one way to look at this
request is as a set of domain-specific names to highlight. The
SystemVerilog built-in classes would be one. The UVM classes would be
another. My organization's base-class library could be another.
Perhaps there's a nice Eclipse extension-point-y way to do some of this for
common sets of 'keywords', while allowing user customization as well. I'll
give this some thought...
