Reviewed Patent information - Chas reviewed the patent information which can be found at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt 2. Reviewed minutes for 07/18/2007 and 08/01/2007 and 08/15/2007 - Chuck/Bassam. ACCEPTED (unanimous). 3. Liaisons - Chas talked about Neil's message. We need to update the proposals we made so that the reference draft 3A. The current list is: Item Owner 985 JimV 1603 JimV 1614 Chas 1631 Chas 1632 Chas 1664 Chas 1669 Chas 1684 Chuck 1699 Chas 1700 JimV 1716 Ralph - SV-BC may have a face to face to deal with name resolution. Someone should try to join the meeting... sometime in mid-September, probably in CA. - Neil reported that the next Champions meeting is Sept 5th. 4. New business - Chas talked about voting rights and meetings without quorum We have a problem where it is possible to get into a situation where we can never have another meeting (if enough people show up for two meetings in a row, then never attend another). Until he gets guidance from the P1800 committee, he is going to assume that meetings which do not achieve quorum will still count against voting rights. - Item 1599 The assertion API and VPI sections need changes as per mantis #805 Bassam described the reasons for the proposal. Chas wants to look at this some more, so we tabled it for now. - Item 1361 need a way to control execution of action blocks Bassam needs to get better motivation from the requestor. Chas would like to review in detail. Table for now. - Item 1603 Unused vpiMultiArray declaration in vpi_user.h This is not an issue because it was never in the vpi_user.h file. Chas doesn't think that this is a compatibility issue. Stu should go ahead and implement. - Item 1942 Deprecated vpiArray property still appears in several places where vpiArrayMember should replace it. Chuck did a systematic review looking for vpiArray and found these. He will write a proposal. Bassam noted that it is still in vpi_user.h. Chuck responded that it has been deprecated but not removed. 5. Reviewed items with proposals - Item 1865 Definition of `s_vpi_vecval' in `svdpi.h' and `vpi_user.h' Someone was supposed to try a test. Chas thinks it was JimV, but the minutes did not record who. JimV to run some tests. - Item 1946 Clarify vpiSize for string vars and other SystemVerilog variable types What happens for a string constant? LRM does not say. We should update 26.48 Expressions to be consistent. Francoise and Bassam, can try it out to see what happens today. Chuck asked if a vpiStringVar considered packed or unpacked? Maybe we should have a vpiStrlen or something like that to get the number of chars. - Item 1947 vpiTask, vpiFunction for built-in method calls Chuck moves to accept. Ralph seconds. PASSED (unanimous) Motion to adjourn Chuck/Andrzej. Meeting adjourned at 1:00pm. 6. Reviewed SV-CC items with proposals (Straw poll only) 7. Old Business 8. Action items - 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. - Steve to send out exact text on referring to a prior version. - 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. - JimV to test that the fix for Item 1865 will not cause compilation warnings. - Francoise and Bassam to figure out what should happen when you get the size of a string constant. - Bassam to get reasoning behind changes in Item 1361. - Chas, JimV, Chuck, and Ralph to update their already passed proposals to reference Draft 3A. 9. Items for consideration at the next meeting (they already have proposals) - Item 1865 Definition of `s_vpi_vecval' in `svdpi.h' and `vpi_user.h' - Item 1946 Clarify vpiSize for string vars and other SystemVerilog variable types - Item 1952 "Null argument" to mean "omitted argument" may be confusing - Item 1726 Clarify meaning of vpiConstantSelect - Item 1837 Wrong outline for net in VPI generate diagram - Item 1970 What is vpiIndexTypespec for an array with a wildcard index type? - Item 1696 What is vpiRange for a dynamic array, assoc. array, queue? - Item 1599 The assertion API and VPI sections need changes as per mantis #805 10.
