Doug,
Here's my feedback on the C-layer doc. Again minor because
I'd read it all before except for the new section on context.
--------------------------------------------
A.7.1 Overview - 3rd paragraph
I'm a little confused by the wording of this. If applications
access packed arrays directly using implementation
specific representation, is it not also source compatiblity
that compromised as well ?
Perhaps here we should make it clear that source compatability
is compromised in addition binary compatibility.
I understand that if all access is done using the access
functions in section 10 for individual elements then it is
still source compatible. But the wording of this implies
direct access of the implementation specific representation
without using any functions but rather vendor specific
data types used in implementation. Was that your intent here ?
If you meant to imply the access functions should be
used you should probably have a forward reference
to section 10.4 through 10.6.
--------------------------------------------
A.8 Context
This section is superbly worded. You really captured
the issues we've been discussing and have articulated
them very well. As I read through it, the concepts
flowed clearly and concisely. I think new readers will get
the picture immediately when they read this and not
have to deal with the same gnarliness we did !
--------------------------------------------
A.9.3 Example 2
Looks like there's a typo in this example.
It shows the export function as this:
export “DPI” function $root.exported_sv_func;
With our latest syntax it should simply be this:
export "DPI" exported_sv_func;
--------------------------------------------
A.9.4 Example 3
Export declaration should be the same as shown above.
