SystemVerilog foreach syntax for looping through lower dimension of multidimensional array

Question

What is the standard way of looping through the lower dimension of a multidimensional array? With the higher dimension fixed.

In the following example:

  automatic int i = 2;
  foreach (my_req[i][j]) begin // <-- WARNING
    $display("i:%0d,j:%0d", i, j);
  end

I see the warning:

** Warning: testbench.sv(16): (vlog-LRM-2897) Using non-standard foreach loop variable list syntax.

Answer 1

You can do this:

$display("Loop through i=2");
begin
  automatic int i = 2;
  foreach (my_req[,j]) begin // notice the "," before j
    $display("i:%0d,j:%0d", i, j);
  end
end
