SCE-MI 2.0 Issues

Hi,

at the last meeting we agreed that we would start to collect issues
that need to be discussed as a part of the process of fleshing out
the Mentor proposal and turning it into a standard.  I have not seen
anyone else sending anything out, but here is my list:

  1) Firming up what we are going to do for Verilog and VHDL both
     relative to the Mentor proposal and Cadence's proposal for
     new macros.

  2) The list of data types supported in DPI calls.

  3) Whether there should be any restrictions on DPI functions calling
     each other.

  4) SceMiClockPort in DPI-only applications.

  5) SceMi::Init(), SceMi::Version(), SceMi::Shutdown() in DPI-only
     applications.

  6) SceMiParameters: is this required in DPI-only applications?
     Do we need new attributes for DPI?

  7) Firming up the seams between the new DPI-based features and
     the SCE-MI 1.1 features: restrictions on mixing etc.

  8) Deciding whether simulator support is required for a compliant
     implementation.

There is much more, I'm sure, but this is a start.

Thanks,
Per
