Meeting minutes from the 7/18/00 DC-WG teleconference
-----------------------------------------------------
Attendees:
  Mark Hahn, Cadence
  Paul Bonnel, Cadence
  Simon Butler, Cadence
  Joe Daniels, SEVA
  Tom Dewey, Mentor
  Bob Dilly, IBM
  John Paul, IBM
  Vikas Sharma, IBM
New action items:
      Who         When     What
      ----------  ------   --------
 1.   Mark        8/1      Check whether negative values are allowed
                           for clock_uncertainty
 2.   Paul        7/25     Update quick reference to reflect proposal
                           for using casts to specify object types
 3.   Tom         7/25     Put together first pass at material for
                           recruiting new DC-WG members
Open action items:
      Who         When     What
      ----------  ------   --------
 1.   Mark        6/20     Check on semantics for clock waveforms with
                  -> 6/27  edges shifted by one or more cycles from equivalent
                  -> 8/1   minimum edge times
 2.   Bob         6/20     Prepare waveform diagrams for waveform and
                  -> 6/27  derived_waveform
                  -> 8/1
 3.   Mark        6/20     Check on phase shift in derived_waveform
                  -> 6/27  (effect on ideal edge position versus effective
                  -> 8/1   edge position)
 4.   Mark        6/20     Check whether derived_waveform frequency adjustments
                  -> 6/27  can be real numbers
                  -> 8/1
Next Meeting:
  The next meeting will be a teleconference on 7/25/00
  from 10-12 am (PDT)
Details:
  1. Action items
     No progress since last week.
  2. Parser status
     Bob hasn't made much progress on the legal issues with
     getting the parser released as open source.  The date for a date
     is 8/1.
     Paul has been reviewing the parser and sending suggestions
     about how to repackage it for multiple use models.
  3. Discuss -from/-through/-to OR-AND semantics with multiple object types
     We talked about various approaches for addressing this issue.
     Although there wasn't much enthusiasm for the C++ casting approach,
     we haven't found another workable approach.
  4. Review changes in 0.3.5 draft
     There were only minor corrections.
  5. Review clock_domain, target_based_uncertainty,
     common_insertion_delay
     We agreed to remove the clock_domain command, as it is covered
     by the -domain option to the waveform command.
     We tentatively agreed to change the name of target_based_uncertainty
     to target_uncertainty.
     We agreed to use -from/-to options in common_insertion_delay,
     to add -rise/-fall/-early/-late options, and make the value type
     a delay_unsigned_time_value_list (one or four values).
Thanks,
Mark
