Tentatively review in Aug 16 meeting. For 2114 Jonathan willing to contribute on request but will not be a regular BC participant/contributor. AI: Jonathan post some items for discussion related to 2114 to reflector. For 3053 Francoise suggests some review of related issues is in order, similar to Shalom's suggestion for 3056. Further discussion included: Jonathan raised that issues with interfaces and virtual interfaces should be reviewed holistically and with at least the SV-EC. Suggestion was made that interfaces need to be declared and set prior to instantiation to allow the "interface" to be consistent across implementations. Fixing interfaces and/or virtual interfaces may break existing code. Mark: could take a tact of binding interfaces and virtual interfaces at compile time. Gord: Likely not desired by customers. Gord: Some small changes may alleviate some problems, but really fixing it likely involves major changes or new features. + Mantis 2108 Dave asked for clarification of this issue. http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=2108 SV-BC cannot recall the specifics.
