Logistics:
A) Acceptance of minutes proposed/seconded and passed (John S./Francoise).
B) Need issues by 14th for face-to-face, and sponsor for meeting.
Meeting is dedicated to discussing Andrzej's Proposal
[http://www.eda.org/vlog-pp/sv-cc/hm/0511.html]
Should use 'svc' prefix for routines.
Discuss handles (VPI or not) over reflector.
void * - assumes similar layout to C within SV for arrays.
Missing size functions.
Bare pointers unsafe?
Writing to data through pointer skips triggering sensitivity.
Kevin & Michael suggest hiding pointers as handles.
Discussion to continue at the January 8th meeting
Regards,
Kev.
