Original Redmine Issue: 1620 from https://www.veripool.org

Original Assignee: Wilson Snyder (@wsnyder)


A dotted function reference through an array of instances with a non constant argument causes @internal Error: ParseRefs should no longer exist@

t.ma0.u_b[0].f(1);   // works
t.ma0.u_b[0].f(clk); // does not work

Apply the following patch

$ git diff

Thanks for modifying a test to show the issue, makes it much easier.

Seemed the assertion was all that was broken.

Fixed in git towards eventual 4.024 release.
