Hi all,
I propose making only the following 2 additions to the glossary to address
new general concepts from the sv-cc sections. Note that since IEEE 1364-2001
did not have a glossary I felt it was reasonable to include a glossary for VPI
Any comments/wording changes before I send this to David ?
Feedback needed prior to 5pm EST today.
Joao
LRM-298:
add the following entries to the glossary:
DPI: Direct Programming Interface. This is an interface between
SystemVerilog and foreign programming languages permitting direct
function calls from SystemVerilog to foreign code and from foreign
code to SystemVerilog. It has been designed to have low inherent
overhead and permit direct exchange of data between SystemVerilog
and foreign code.
VPI: Verilog Procedural Interface. The 3rd generation Verilog PLI
(Programming Language Interface), providing object-oriented access
to Verilog behavioral, structural, assertion and coverage objects.
