[sv-cc] reminder: updated svc.h, svc_src.h needed

Subject: [sv-cc] reminder: updated svc.h, svc_src.h needed

Here's a reminder to whoever is controlling the source files.

We need updated include files (include_files_v?.fm/.pdf)
with the following recently discussed changes:

- New name for the files themselves (svdpi.h, svdpi_src.h ?)
- Rename svHandle to svScope for context functions
- Rename svGetScopeByName() to whatever new name is

Also while you're in there a very, very minor change request:
- Reverse the order that these functions are listed in
   to show the Bit version before the Logic version for
   consistency with the rest of the document:

   int svSizeOfBitPackedArr(int width);
   int svSizeOfLogicPackedArr(int width);

   It is now shown in reverse order.

Also, the svGet/PutUserData functions need some more discussion.
For the next meeting I would like to add to the agenda to give
some serious discussion to this earlier posting of mine:

     http://www.eda.org/sv-cc/hm/1029.html

The more I look at this the more I think it is the right model
for handling user context. So, to summarize, I'm recommending
that the new profiles for the user data functions are as follows:

      void* svGetUserData();
          // Returns user context for current extern'ed function
          // of current scope

      void svPutUserData( const svScope, const char *cname, void *userData );
          // Associates a user context with a specific extern'ed function
          // of a specific module instance scope.

Please read my proposal for more details on the justification
of this.
