This is to be discussed in next meeting (item 1942). - Ghassan to follow up with Neil and others at eda.org on the issue of mantis database not being available today. The server was restarted in PM PDT and an email notification was sent to all committee reflectors about the database being back on line. 5. Review SV-CC items with proposals: - Item 1726 vpiConstantSelect, proposal updated by Jim to include notes to each section. Discussion postponed until next meeting since the mantis database was down and committee members could not review item - Item 1385 Passed, Chuck to mark as resolved - Item 1837 Wrong outline for net in VPI generate diagram Charles has updated this item.

Review old business: Updates Under Each Item Discussed - Francoise and Bassam to continue work on assignment patterns. - Francoise to champion adding support for typed parameters to the typespec diagrams. - Abi to champion adding support for parameterized classes. - Abi/JimV to champion improving the ability to compare objects. - All to verify their Acknowledged Mantis Items. This is with respect to Stu's work on the LRM update. Item could be removed as it is expected to be completed for draft 3. - Steve to send out exact text on referring to a prior version. - Chas to gather a list of all SV-CC approved mantis items which have not been incorporated into draft 2. This item is out of date as we are in draft 3a - Francoise, with Chuck's help, to put few questions together and send it to Michael on deprecation of the term memory. Exchange happened in email between Francoise and Michael. Michael said that from his users prospective, they are in sync. Jim suggested for Michael to describe what a memory is from user side. Michael will target this for end of August. - Francoise to inquire from SV-BC on the current thinking regarding deprecation of the term memory. Francoise reported that they are thinking of removing that language from LRM. However, DPI might need to keep that wording for compatibility. Michael asked if that changes functionality of readmemh. Response is that it should continue to work as before. Francoise suggested removing this item and take action once the SV-BC makes the change. - Francoise to ask Stu from user perspective on need for callbacks in the pre and post observed regions. Stu responded that DPI does not use this kind of functionality - Michael to provide user perspective on need for callbacks in the pre and post observed regions Discussed the issue of getting such a callback in the standards without specific usage definition. Jim proposed a simple visibility callback available to user, although it would be taxing on performance of simulation. Additional discussion on usability with assertions and frequency of callback. Action item is for Michael to describe usability which tool developers can use to explore implementation - Ralph to work on a proposal to solve Stu's DPI issue. This was closed as part of item 1859 - All to review xrefs in draft 3. Done - Chas to send a request to SV-BC committee to consider language in the LRM to require implementations to have a mapping file which will bind names to $units objects. Request was made. Need to follow up with SV-BC on status of this request - Chas to take a look for questions from Editor in these sections and either answer them himself or parcel them out to other committee members as appropriate. Ongoing item, current draft is 3a ---------------------------------- Next meeting is on 08/02/07 Motion to adjourn Jim/Chuck.
