Works for me; please send an example.

  task void_recast;
    void'( afunc(1'b1) );
  endtask

Hi Wilson,

I havent prepared an example yet, I'm tracing the problem, and it seems to be related to functions inside interfaces.
Something like this:

  interface my_fifo_interface (...);
     // some signals....
     ...
     // a function definition
     // this function returns a single bit
     function automatic bit try_push ( input t_data data  );
        ...
        ...
        return  ... //(1'b1 if push succeded, '0 otherwise);
     endfunction
     ...
     // A modport exporting this function
     modport push_mp ( import try_push, ...);
     ...
  endinterface


  // now a module that receives this interface and uses the function
  module fifo_client ( my_fifo_interface i, ... );
     ...
     // some process
     always_comb begin
       ...
       void'(i.try_push(local_data));
       ...
     end
     ...
  endmodule

As soon as I have a working (or failing in this case) example, I'll upload it, in the mean time this is what I have gathered about the problem.

Thanks,
David

Thanks for the example, it works fine for me. Maybe you're not using the latest version?

Issue believe fixed in earlier release as example passes.
