Cast to parameterized variable fails

Without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it’s difficult to provide an answer.

When you instantiate param_class, you should know the two types that you are using as parameters. You could have two different functions, one that uses $cast and one that uses assignments, and use the appropriate version.


class param_class #(type type_foo = some_def_type,
                    type type_bar = some_def_type,
                    bit is_singular = 1);
  type_foo foo;
  type_bar bar;
 
  function void some_func_singular();
    $cast(foo, bar);
  endfunction

  function void some_func_non_singular();
    foo = bar;
  endfunction

  function void some_func();
    if (is_singular) some_func_singular();
    else some_func_non_singular();
  endfunction
 
endclass
