RE: [sv-cc] SV-CC agenda for 05/23/2007

hi all,
I have a question that I would like to put on the agenda for the
meeting. When vpi_get_value() is called for an object with no real
value, for example a varselect object where the indices are currently
out of range, would you expect to get a NULL return, or a pointer to the
default value for the object? There is a precedent for the default
value, because that is what $display does. However a NULL value seems
more informative somehow.

I would like this to be clarified in the LRM, unless it already is and I
have missed it, in which case I would like to be pointed to the LRM
section, please.

thanks,
Abi
