Hi Chas,

There are several SV-CC mantis items that need to be updated so that they
are consistent with draft 3a of the LRM. These changes were flagged in the
Champions meeting of July 26, 2007. The technical committees are responsible
for making sure that all of their mantis items are consistent with draft 3a.
The editor is unable to determine the new section numbers on his own. It also
should not be up to the champions to flag those mantis items that are not up to
date with the merged LRM section numbering.

Please make sure that all of the SV-CC mantis items are consistent with
draft 3a before moving them to the resolved state.

I also noted that several of these proposals have already been incorporated
into draft 3a of the LRM.

The next meeting of the P1800 working group will be on August 30th. I suggest
that you try to get all of these updates done before then, so that the P1800
is able to approve these. The P1800 is usually given 2 weeks to review the
set of mantis items approved by the Champions. I will be notifying the P1800
which set of mantis items have incorrect section numbers. It will be up to
the P1800 working group to decide if any mantis items can be approved with the
wrong section numbers or not. Getting the section numbers corrected before
August 30 will be the best way to increase the likelihood of getting them
into the next draft of the LRM.


 985   cbSizeChange for queues too?
       27.14 is now 36.16

 1603  Unused vpiMultiArray declaration in vpi_user.h
       The change should be to Annex L (not annex G)

AI/Francoise - Should this be in the backward compatibility section?
               If this constant was used it would be a problem.
               Make this change request in a separate mantis item.

 1614  P1800-2005:  27.52 no expr for disable fork objects
       27.52 is now 36.67
       Isn't this change already contained in draft 3a?

 1631  P1800-2005 27.14 note k has an error
       27.14 item k) is now 36.16 item 11)
       Isn't this change already contained in draft 3a?

 1632  P1800-2005 sections 27.14 note k and 27.22 note f are incompatible
       27.22 is now 36.26
       Isn't this change already contained in draft 3a?

 1664  IEEE 1800-2005 27.7 Note 'e': First sentence should be rewritten
       27.7 item e) is now 36.9 item 5)
       Isn't this change already contained in draft 3a?

 1669  P1800-2005 Sections 27.34 and 27.36 commas are inconsistent
       27.34 item b) is now 36.45 item 2)
       The set of changes includes the following
           1. spelling error
           2. adding an extra comma
       The editor may easily miss the fact that there are two changes to be
       made here. Dave added a bug note, but the mantis proposal should be
       redone to make the additional comma more obvious.
       It also appears that the spelling correction has already been made.

 1684  vpiParent clarification needed for complex var/net objects
       27.14 item z)  is now 36.16 item 29)
       27.13 item ab) is now 36.15 item 28)

       Note: when new text is added to the LRM it should be in blue.
             Stu agreed to not require it for this mantis proposal.
             Keywords should also be bolded.

 1699  1800-2005+ draft 3 sections 36.34 and 36.68 problem with vpiReturn
       36.34   - should be 36.51
       36.68   - this section number is ok
       Annex M - the editor needs to change ### to an available number.
                 The editor will add a margin note for this.
               - Francoise - the other numbers should remain as is.
               - Please confirm that this is what the editor should do.

 1700  vpiTimeConst and vpiNullConst have the same value
       This change is now in Annex M

 1716  Clarify handling of DPI formals/actuals with rand/randc qualifier
       F.5 is now I.5
