9 years agoAs mentioned, there's a difference between synthesis and simulation. You can't dynamically change hardware while it's running (except when using an advanced feature, like partial reconfiguration). You can do and test anything you want in simulation, even if it can't be synthesized. HDLs were originally designed for simulation, so there's lots of stuff you can do in these languages that can't be synthesized.
