Dave,

 

Tom is absolutely right. Could you please create the errata?

 

"The entries in the 3rd row of table 12-2 (Description) should be swapped, that is, the description for OFF corresponds to ON and vice-versa".

Hi Guys,

 

I think that table 12-2 (p. 151) has the incorrect polarity for the constraint_mode task:

 

Value Meaning Description

0 OFF Sets the specified constraint block to active so

that it is considered by subsequent calls to the

randomize() method.

1 ON Sets the specified constraint block to inactive

so that it is not enforced on subsequent calls to

the randomize() method.

 

The constraint_mode function returns a 1 if the constraint is active and 0 if inactive. These two should be consistent, and the table looks backward.

 

Thanks,

-Fitz
