Please try to attend next meeting on Wednesday July 2 Chuck Swart -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. Minutes of ISAC meeting held via telecon on 26 June 2008 Present: Peter Ashenden, Chuck Swart, Ajay Verikat Absent: Jim Lewis, Larry Soule, Lance Thompson Next meeting: Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 8 pm Pacific Daylight time (Thursday, July 3, 2008, 3 am GMT) NOTE: Day change from Thursday to Wednesday because of July 4 Holiday in U.S. TOPIC: IEEE Ballot There have been 16 votes received, 15 affirmative, 1 abstention. No new comments have been submitted. It seems that the IEC representative has changed from Alex to Dennis Brophy. Jim thinks that the interaction with IEC is working correctly, but Chuck will check to see if there is anything more we need to do. ACTION: Chuck to contact IEC representative. TOPIC: IR 2133 Not locally static expression is synthesized but not compiled for simulation Peter will analyze. ACTION: Peter to analyze. TOPIC: Bugzilla 235 Error in name of property of foreignf class The analysis is accepted. ACTION: Assign to Peter. TOPIC: Bugzilla 236 Wrong case for specName property of blockConfig class The analysis is accepted. ACTION: Assign to Peter. Chuck to inform vhpi group about 235 and 236. TOPIC: Bugzilla 220 Inconsistent use of vhpiIntT and int Peter presented a more complete analysis, the result of which was to choose the alternate solution (to make the return type vhpiIntT instead of int).This change was accepted. ACTION: Make Bugz status resolved,fixed. TOPIC: Bugzilla 229 Is type vhpiIntT signed or unsigned? LRM was updated as decided last meeting. Bugz status resolved,fixed. ACTION: None. TOPIC: Bugzilla 227 Glossary entry for expanded name has incorrect reference LRM was updated as decided last meeting. Bugz status resolved,fixed. ACTION: None. TOPIC: Bugzilla 231 process( all ) -- compiler cannot infer the sensitivity list Proposed wording was accepted. ACTION: Make Bugz status resolved,fixed. TOPIC: Bugzilla 213 Can a force signal assignment update ports of mode IN? Wording was reviewed and accepted. ACTION: Make Bugz status resolved,fixed. TOPIC: Bugzilla 233 Vhpi_user.h requires enum types contents update/completion Peter completed analysis of open cases. LRM changes were accepted. ACTION: Make Bugz status resolved,fixed. TOPIC: Bugzilla 234 Backward incompatibility for std_logic_textio selected names The "IS name" part of the alias declarations was inadvertently omitted from the alias declarations. ACTION: Peter to update. TOPIC: Bugzilla 218 Permitted access into encrypted code unclear There are some open issues which will not be dealt with for the 200X version. It was agreed that the resolution should be changed to LATER NOTE: Same action (resolution changed to LATER) done for 206 and 207. ACTION: Make Bugz status resolved,later. TOPIC: Bugzilla 237 Representation of negative time values with vhpiTimeT Proposed solution is accepted. ACTION: Assign to Peter. TOPIC: Bugzilla 238 What is vhpiBootstrapFctT for in vhpi_user.h? Proposed solution is accepted. ACTION: Assign to Peter. TOPIC: Move from IR data base to Bugzilla For the most part, Bugzilla has been a better mechanism for tracking issues. The older IR mechanism required that status changed be done by hand. There are some problems with bugzilla. One major issue is that the basic mechanism of adding a sequence of comments to track development can be very cumbersome for wide open issues for which there are many possible solutions (One IR had more than 9 revisions.) There are a couple of ways of dealing with this. One solution is to put the analysis in attachments, which can be deleted. A second is to allow comments, but when some consensus is reached issue a new Bugz and make the old one dependent on the new. Note added in writeup. A current administrative problem is that currently anyone can change status of a Bugz. This is potentially dangerous. ACTION: Peter to move current open IRs to Bugzillas against VHDL-2002 (done, see below). Chuck to update eda.org mechanisms to replace IR generation with Bugzilla entry. Also, Chuck to update Bugzilla home page with information on searching, creating bugz, etc. NOTE: IR 2130 Ability to overload the assignment operator := would be useful is now Bugz 239. IR 2131 Vhpi_user.h requires enum types contents update/completion is now Bugz 233. IR 2132 Method to allow functions that return arrays to have knowledge of the array bounds is now Bugz 240. IR 2133 Not locally static expression is synthesized but not compiled for simulation is now Bugz 241.Received on Fri Jun 27 17:30:00 2008
