Does ModelSim support program blocks?

Question

When running the following trivial code with ModelSim 10.1d

program test;

  initial begin
    $display("hello world");
  end

endprogram

I'm seeing Error loading design. The issue can be reproduced here: http://www.edaplayground.com/s/4/807

I know that ModelSim does not support SV assertions/coverage, but what about program blocks?

Answer 1

ModelSim does not support the following SystemVerilog constructs that are supported in Questa:

1. program blocks
2. assertions
3. covergroups
4. randomize()

In any case, I do not recommend the use of program blocks for any user. See http://go.mentor.com/programblocks
