Subject: Re: [sv-cc] Updated LRM
I have a couple of comments/questions.
1) section 3.3. FSM
I do not see the purpose of this section for several reasons
- it does not adhere to V2K attributes, but to tool styles which are surely
to be deprecated - in V2K you should be using attributes not commented
pragmas
- SystemVerilog3.0 has enums so why even discuss old style illegal
parameter style pragmas..
and the more I look the more I think we need to kill this section
completely as it has nothing to do with SystemVerilog, but is all about the
old style of usage of Verilog95.
2) I notice lots of references to the Synopsys donation technology DirectC
in the document - are we using this name? I thought not, maybe I am out of
sync... Surely this is a Synopsys product name and should not be used by
Accellera. In fact it always used to Accellera policy to change the names
of things - as it is not the donation but a new Accellera owned technology.
3) also I note references to SystemVerilog 'byte' type - which I thought
had now be removed, as char is always 8 bit.
