Hiroshi-san,

Some remarks on the JEITA comments and requests:

SystemC
1. # of reset_signal_is for an SC_THREAD

        Answer: The SystemC LWG agreed some time ago to explicitly
restrict the number of occurrences of reset_signal_is to 1-per-thread. Do
you intend to raise an enhancement request for more than one reset signal
per thread?

TLM-2.0
1. Insufficient explanation of hop

        Answer: The LRM will say "The entire path between an initiator
and a target consists of a number of hops, each hop connecting two
adjacent components. A hop consists of one initiator socket bound to one
target socket. The number of hops from initiator to target is one less
than the number of interconnect components on that path. When using the
generic payload, the forward and backward paths should each pass through
the same set of components and sockets in opposing directions."
        Is that clear?
        We will add cross-references to the TLM-2 glossary entries.

2. Insufficient explanation of ignorable phase.

        Answer: There is an entire clause (ex. 8.2.5) dedicated to
ignorable phases, complete with examples. I would welcome your input on
how this could be improved.

10. In "attribute", "artefacts" should be "artifacts".

        Answer: "artefact" and "artifact" are variant spellings of the
same word. "artifact" is said to be British spelling, though as a native
British-speaker, I would not notice or care :-)
