Swapnajit,
It seems you might have forgotten the mail I sent last
Friday in reaction to SV-BC's use of the "extern" keyword.
Let's make sure to put that on the agenda.
Also, if I can request that all DPI issues get handled first,
that would be great since I have a conflicting meeting at 9am PST.
In my opinion we urgently need to change our extern syntax so as
not to collide with SV-BC's intended semantic for that syntax.
i.e. they intend C-style prototypes, we intend SV foreign proxy
function declaration. Recall, this semantic mismatch was
the source of the "gnarly thread". We should not exacerbate
it, since the concept of "foreign proxy function" is already
difficult enough to grasp. I think "import" was the next-best
syntax choice to "extern", we can re-poll if needed.
Regards,
Doug
