::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Minutes Approval (proposed Doug, seconded Ghassan) passed.
-------
LRM status.
Joe waiting for paperwork.
C & assertion APIs seperate.
-------
Michael wants bit-select/part-select language in LRM version.
Doug says follow 3.1 Arrays Chapter.
Issue 1.4:
Michael: how pure is "pure"? Split "context" attribute
for different interfaces (PLI,VPI,Direct?).
General: "Pure" and "context" should be exclusive.
Kev: "Pure" entirely unenforceable just adds overhead for
users and simulator if exclusive.
Michael's presentation - Inclusion of Foreign Language Code
(proposal arrived too late for anyone to prepare properly)
Joao,Doug: dislike environment variables.
Kev: should not go further than specifying object
files/libraries, and should do it symbolically.
Michael: can split object inclusion from source compilation.
General: agree to split objecty and source handling.
Discuss further on e-mail.
Cross Committee
BC/EC: Unicode gone. "byte" may go.
Michael: Need more definition for signed/unsigned.
CC: Vote to remove Unicode - 6 for 1 abstain (Doug).
General: String class/memory allocation
- discuss over e-mail
Joao/EC: Handles/pointers not discussed yet.
Joao to check his proposal is on the EC's list.
Import/Export/Extern needs clarification.
Joao/Kev: Disagree on handles vs pointer declaration.
Continue at EC.
Joao/EC: Alternate to "extern" desirable (classes/interfaces).
Need proposal for next meeting.
Coverage API:
Michael: Need example for 3.3, would like list of instances/modules.
Kev: May be better with "double" as return type for counts
for forward compatibility.
General: save/merge - Change "filename" to "database name".
Kev: maybe split to "repository" & "database".
Doug: Why /* SV ... */ not attributes?
- use alias for slices
Doug: What happened to branch coverage?
Joao prefers to stick to simpler functionality for
this version.
Francoise: 5.1 - VPI definitions confusing - language needs refined.
----
Next meeting Tuesday 28th Jan:
Discuss code linking, source compilation.
