RE: [Fwd: RE: [sv-cc] 29 - uses the term "attempt"]

Clause 18 repeatedly uses the phrase "evaluation attempt"
or (at least once) "attempt".  18.5 says that

  "An attempted evaluation of a sequence is a search
  for a match of the sequence beginning at a particular
  clock tick."

and then adds more detail about what constitutes a
match.

Is that enough of a definition?

Regards,
Jim V.

] Hi Charles, Chapter 18 (Assertions) uses it ... Attempt refers to an
] evaluation attempt which can have threads (different evaluation paths
] ...) within. Since it is not really defined, I would say both 
] "attempt"
] and "thread" are worthy terms for the glossary (for SV-AC), right now
] only "assertion" is there ...
