RE: [sv-cc] Meeting minutes for 02/14/2007

Chas,

The date should be 02/14/2007 rather than 01/14/2007.

I believe that it was Charles rather than Jim that
reviewed the patent information.

Regards,
Jim

]1.  Reviewed Patent information.
]
]   - Jim reviewed the patent information.
]
]3.  Reviewed minutes of the 01/31/2007 Meeting.
]
]     - Chuck/Ralph.  ACCEPTED (unanimous)
]
]
]3.  Liaisons
]
]   - Chas commented on the Clean Scheduling Proposal
]     Jim commented that we should frame our text on callbacks
]     in terms of the scheduling semantics in their proposal.
]   - No other meetings to report on
]
]
]4.  New business
]
]   - new documents
]     Chas to send out the passwords to the people working on
]     the committee.  There were no objections to having people
]     review their acknowledged items now.  All to do so.
]
]   - Clean Scheduling Proposal (Item 890?)
]     Michael wonders if we should have a PLI "pre-observed"
]     region.  Need a slot where we know the design has
]     settled.  Michael would be okay to have it a read only
]     region.  A place in time where there is no active events
]     in the design but before the testbench and assertions
]     fire.  There was a question as to whether or not we could
]     schedule events in future time slices.  Chas thought that
]     there were no restrictions on scheduling things in future
]     time slices.  There were no objections to Michael's proposal.
]     Michael to write up the proposal as the feedback from
]     the SV-CC committee.
]
]   - VPI handles for classes (dynamic objects)
]     We need a way for when design scanning objects encounter
]     inactive objects in a static scope, we need a way to refer
]     to them (a decompilation test).  Also need to consider the
]     implications of vpiFullName and vpi_handle_by_name() for
]     these kinds of objects.  Chuck would like to get more feedback
]     from the committee members off line, as this will likely take
]     several meeting to resolve.  The full name is the object at the
]     current time.
]
]   - Steve's action item
]
]     The question of whether or not we are allowed to refer to the
]     Policy should be clarified by the IEEE editor.  The full version
]     qualified of the standard.  "Std 1364-1995"  Steve will send
]     out the exact text to the reflector.  Stu would know how
]     to go about doing this.  BTW, the Clean Scheduling Proposal has
]     a reference in their proposal.  Chas to bring up at the P1800
]     meeting next week.
]
]   - No more new business.
]
]5.  Reviewed items with proposals.
]
]   - Item 1684 vpiParent clarification needed for complex 
]var/net objects
]     Friendly amendment to change appropriate places where the term
