[sv-cc] New Mantis item (274) on DPI's svBitVec32

Hi SV-CC,

We discovered another minor difficulty in DPI.
The crux of the matter involves the "small" packed 2-state type
modeled with svBitVec32. When a 2-state vector is <= 32 bits,
it is no longer passed by reference, but rather by value.
This makes it impossible for a DPI user to create a single
imported function that accepts an arbitrary width 2-state
vector as an argument.

Details are located at

Charles,

Can you please assign me to be the owner of this item?
I will upload a proposal that basically simplifies DPI by
eliminating the exception for bit vectors <= 32 bits in width.

Thanks and regards,
Doug
