In its updated second edition, this book has been extensively revised on
a chapter by chapter basis. The book accurately reflects the syntax and
semantic changes to the SystemVerilog language standard, making it an
essential reference for systems professionals who need the latest
version information. In addition, the second edition features a new
chapter explaining the SystemVerilog "packages", a new appendix that
summarizes the synthesis guidelines presented throughout the book, and
all of the code examples have been updated to the final syntax and rerun
using the latest version of the Synopsys, Mentor, and Cadance tools.
