Re: Draft SystemC LRM for review - URGENT!

John, all,

there is in fact an issue with respect to the process control corner
cases. It's in the description of enable (5.6.6.2) on page 83, lines
61f, where the draft says:

  "[CHANGE] Calling enable shall under no circumstances cause the
   target process instance to become runnable."

This effectively prohibits one of the alternatives for an implementation
to define the disable/resume interaction (5.6.6.11, page 90, lines 53ff)
in one of the corner cases.

Are there pressing reasons to add this restriction to the standard?

The rest looks good to me, also the annex with the changes between
P1666-2005 and P1666-2011. Very useful indeed.

Greetings from Oldenburg,
  Philipp
