SV: How to name an unnamed block

SysTom
SysTom over 8 years ago

If I create a variable in a for-loop:

    for(int i=0;i<N;i++) begin...

It creates and unnamed block.  If you $display("%m") in the block it is called "...unmblkX" where is an integer.

If I try to name the block (as allowed in Modelsim)

    for(int i=0;i<N;i++) begin : my_block...

The behavior does not change.  How can I name an unnamed block?
