RE: [sv-cc] Clarifications

Jim,

   I am not convinced of the benefits of keeping the C++ intermediate
layer language neutral at the cost

of introducing new C++ types for 2 and 4 state, open arrays, structs,
union and enum arguments.

Basing DPI-OO completely on top of DPI-C does have the benefit of ease
of use as you don't have to

learn two different interfaces besides what is new. I am also not in
favor of having different representation

of the same type in a copy vs a ref class. For example in C++, an open
array or a 2-state member of a copy

class will have a different type than an method argument of a ref class.

Subject: [sv-cc] Clarifications

Arnab and Arturo, we're working on responses to the concerns voiced at
the last SV-CC meeting. I'm not sure which one of you was raising the
questions about argument types, but could you help us out by
reclarifying your concerns about

-- open arrays

-- 2-state and 4-state arguments

Thanks,

Jim Vellenga
