Array Declaration cases

[Altera_Forum]

Hi All, 

 Is there a difference in the following declarations:  case1: reg [3:0][7:0] abc; case2: reg [3:0] abc [7:0]; case3: reg abc [3:0][7:0];  What's the difference?  Thank you!

Putting dimensions before the variable name is a packed array. packed arrays can only be made of bit types. 

Unpacked arrays have the dimensions after the name. They can be any type.  http://www.asic-world.com/systemverilog/data_types10.html
