RE: Verilog-AMS Committee Meeting Minutes - Feb 1 2007

Digital has two types of file descriptors, the multi-channel descriptors
(from V-1995) and the file descriptors (from V-2001). The mcd's were not
deprecated. They are more limited than fd's overall, but they do have
this advantage over fd's, to be able to write to multiple channels
(files) simultaneously.

Martin, 

One small comment to your minutes: I do not recall discussing in the
meeting to deprecate the multiple channel descriptors. Did I miss
something? 

The multiple channel descriptors have an advantage over the normal file
descriptors that you can combine them to write to multiple file in one
command. If digital doesn't deprecate them, then I would suggest that we
don't either. 

Cheers, 
Marq

Classification

 

 

 

 




Attendees:

* Sri Chandra - Freescale
* Patrick O'Halloran, Tiberon
* Kevin Cameron, Sonics
* David Miller, Freescale
* Marq Kole, NXP
* Graham Helwig - ASTC
* Martin O'Leary, Cadence 

We worked through the revised chapter 10, uploaded on 1/25/07.

Noted corrections/actions;

* bits2real, real2bits should be usable in the analog context

* action: Martin and David to resolved whether the math operator and
math system function equivalence table should be chapter 10 or chapter
4.

* create a section 10.2.1 for $driver functions.

* say @(driver_update(..) not driver_update in the table in 10.2.1

* remove two 's's in 10.3, add "if required."

* typo: reject(ed).

* be clear that file should not be written until the step accepted. file
read/write in same iteration is not supported.

* add Note to editor that the table number need to be update

* action: Check Null operator in Verilog HDL ( ',,') and see if Verilog
AMS HDL has consistent definition.
ANSWER: yes Verilog HDL has the same definition.

* Allow File I/O system tasks in both contexts to use file descriptors
opened in either contexts.

* reword 1st paragraph in section 10.4.3 to flow better.

* 10.5 - change title to be consistent with the table name in section
10.2

* copy a lot more text from V2005 to make section 10.5 more self
contained for analog users. Make sure that the syntax block is
consistent with V2005 equivalent.

* deprecate multiple channel file descriptor in analog.

* Change footer to say 2.3 with Accellera copyright

* action: Martin to send framemaker doc to Patrick
