Yes- thanks Jim!  All the Annex N issues should be covered in 2572
proposal.

	In addition, note that Chuck has submitted a nice clean proposal
for
	correcting the missing #define's and colliding numbers in Annex
N
	as part of a new Mantis item 2572.  I believe that getting those
changes
	implemented would be easy for Stu to do and would cover all our
	existing concerns.
	
	That would be true, whether or not we get the formal approval of
	the Working Group, although that certainly wouldn't hurt.

		As far as I can see, the last P1800 meeting preceded the
Annex N discussions.
		 
		Here is an excerpt from the January 14 SV-CC meeting
minutes:
		 
		* Item 2226

		Chuck has tried to do some review of Item 2226. John
also looked at it some too, but is concerned that he may miss details.
Chuck asked if we should roll some of the include file issues into
comments back to the editor. Abi pointed out that they were missing from
the proposal, so we cannot blame Stu. John pointed out that common sense
wise, we should ask him to put it in, regardless of where the error came
in. Jim suggested that we pass a motion to ask the P1800 committee to
allow a new proposal to handle the header file issue. Chas thinks there
is no harm in creating such a proposal. Abi and Chuck will work on such
a proposal. John will review and mark as closed or send back to the
editor. Chas will also review. Chuck will look to see if there is a
record of his last review of it.

		* Issues in the sv_vpi_user.h file

		There was a discussion on how to go about verifying the
include file. It is a fairly complicated process. Discussion on what to
do with the range from 800-899. The reader API in 1800-2005 used up to
874. John suggested that we just excise the term 'Data Read API' from
the include file only.

			All of John's notes below can be made as
editorial corrections, and will be made in the final version of draft 8.

			

			Chas., I forget whether it was decided at the
last working group meeting to correct the numbering in Annex N as
editorial changes, or to flag the errata during the ballot process.  Do
you remember?

in draft8

			

			Hi,

			

			Gosh this was fun!  Clause 36, 38, and Annex C
and L were implemented correctly.  Clause 37 has some minor cross
reference issues that were not what was documented and one issue with
diagram 37.39 Frames.  Annex N has been discussed and concur with the
concerns raised about numbering issues with vpiAllocScheme and
cbEndOfObject.  These are editorial issues which should be corrected.
There is also an omission of vpiObjId, as Abi noted a couple of weeks
ago.  It was the first implementation of 0226 changes but not in any
subsequent revisions of our Annex N inputs to the editor. Clearly, I
dropped it and we all missed it across at least 2 reviews.  It has
always been on the information model diagram, of course.  I don't care
how we handle it procedurally, but it would be just sad to drop the ball
on it again if we should defer it. 

			

			Regards, John

			Other transient objects include:

			1) threads (see 37.39).

			2) outdated and out of scope references made
within a thread

			3) iterators (objects of type vpiIterator),
which are created by calls to vpi_iterate() (see 37.23).

			4) a vpiSchedEvent created by vpi_put_value()
(see 37.34)

			5) callbacks (see 37.36).

			

			and should be:

			

			Other transient objects include:

			1) threads (see 37.40).

			2) outdated and out of scope references made

			3) iterators (objects of type vpiIterator),

			4) a vpiSchedEvent created by vpi_put_value()
(see 38.34)

			5) callbacks (see 38.36).

			

			On page 915, in note 10) of diagram  37.29 Class
variables and class objects, it should be:

			

			10) For details on class object specific
callbacks, see 38.36.1

			

			In diagram 37.39 Frames, there remains a
property:

			-> validity

			int: vpiValid

			

			which no longer exists in the information model.
I had removed this from the framemaker version showing "changes only"
for this clause.  In the full version of clause 37, this property was
still there.  As you all know, it easier for everyone to review a
succinct changes only version and much easier for the editor to
incorporate my integrated version of those changes. This was my
editorial mistake and cleverly hidden, I might add.

			

			I will not repeat the Annex N changes to editor
assigned values, as Charlie documented them adequately in his Mantis
note to 0226.  I will emphasize that we must have property vpiObjId in
Annex N with an appropriately assigned value:

			

			#define vpiObjId                 <editor value>
/* Mantis 2226 */
