RE: [sv-cc] No SV-CC meeting today

minor change - vpiObjId is a property and should therefore come after
the vpiAllocScheme line:

#define vpiAllocScheme           656 /* Mantis 2226 */ 
#define vpiObjId          <editor to fill>

hi Charlie, all,
I was hoping for a meeting because I have a couple of issues. Here is
the first one.

I have identified a couple of necessary but minor changes to 2226
(dynamic objects).
#1 - vpiObjId doesn't have a #define
#2 - placing the new 64-bit vpi_user.h type definitions within the
PLI_TYPES include guards has the unfortunate consequence that they don't
get defined if there is a preceding acc_user.h or veriuser.h file
included in the 'C' file (since it uses the same guard, but doesn't
define the 64-bit types).

I would like to either

a) edit the existing proposal (preferred, but probably too late)
b) create a new proposal to fix these things

The first change is obviously necessary in order to use the Object ID!
If I can't edit the existing proposal to add an editor-define constant
then I will propose an actual constant so we can all agree on it outside
the 2009 spec. The second change is an actual-usage irritant that people
using the new vpi_user.h may encounter as I did.

The changes are basically:
in Draft 6/Annex L (vpi_user.h) change

#ifndef PLI_TYPES
#define PLI_TYPES
typedef int PLI_INT32;
typedef unsigned int PLI_UINT32;
typedef short PLI_INT16;
typedef unsigned short PLI_UINT16;
typedef char PLI_BYTE8;
typedef unsigned char PLI_UBYTE8;
#endif

to

#ifndef SVPI_TYPES
#define SVPI_TYPES
typedef int64_t	 		PLI_INT64;
typedef uint64_t	 	      PLI_UINT64;
#endif#ifndef PLI_TYPES
#define PLI_TYPES
typedef int PLI_INT32;
typedef unsigned int PLI_UINT32;
typedef short PLI_INT16;
typedef unsigned short PLI_UINT16;
typedef char PLI_BYTE8;
typedef unsigned char PLI_UBYTE8;
#endif


(the 2226 proposal has the new types within the original include guard)
and in Draft 6/Annex O (sv_vpi_user.h) change #define vpiPackedArrayNet
693 to 

#define vpiPackedArrayNet 693
#define vpiObjId          <editor to fill>

Hi All,

Sorry for the short notice.  Cadence has a meeting today which conflicts
with the SV-CC meeting.  Without any Cadence folks there, I am not sure
we would get quorum, so I am going to cancel it.  Please let me know if
there was something important that we needed to discuss.

   -Chas
