False error report for Array length declaration using length

[nikhenri]

After verification, I realize that you are right, this only apply to unpack array (It's a bit confusing).
Thank you

[dalance]

logic [4] foo is invalid syntax.
[] before identifier should be packed_dimension like [3:0] in language specification.
(unpacked_dimension like [4] can be used after identifier only)

Some tools can accept this syntax, but some tools can't.
So I recommend to follow language specification.

Well it's part of the IEEE STD since 2005

I'm not sure it's should be declare as an error because some tools doesn't support it, I think it should just check with the IEEE std.
What do you think ?
