[sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] RE: [sv-cc] Notes from 26 February 2010 SystemVerilog Requirements Gathering Meeting

Shalom,
     Here's some info that I can shed light on:
 
"Cliff's X's"
     Most of the design features Cliff Cummings (Sunburst) talked about
during his presentation slot had to do with how X's are handled in the
design. The result was Cliff's topic got the informal name "Cliff's
X's" It looks like this was one of the presentations that was not
uploaded.
 
"The letter 't'"
    This is a reference to Anders Nordstom's (One Spin) presentation on
possible Assertions & Checkers enhancements. In Anders presentation he
used the identifier 't' There was some light-hearted discussion that
followed about making 't' a reserve word, and how that would likely
break backward compatibility. This was a reference to that. The
important thing is the concepts from Anders presentation not specific
new reserve words used in his examples.
 
"General Directions & Vision"
     I think Gordon Vreugdenhil (Mentor) first brought this up if I
remember correctly. Trying to sum this discussion up into a single
sentence; There are people working on 1800 that are focused on 3
somewhat separate topics: design aspects, verification aspects,
assertion aspects of the language. Often times these 3 parties have
different visions of where they see the language going. There was some
discussion about trying to form a higher level Direction and Vision to
help keep the 3 main parties going the saw way
 
"1p"
    This can be ignored. This is a hold over from the informal voting
process that was used to come up with those rankings. 1p basically
means 1 'producer' vote cast for this topic

I would like some clarifications about the spreadsheet.
 
The notes say, "The list resulted in the following list, ranked by
Producer ordinals".
I assume that should say "User ordinals".
 
Can we get 1-sentence descriptions of what is meant by the following:
 
"Rationalize the type system"
"Cliff's X's"
"The letter 't'"
"General Directions & Vision"
"1p"
 
Thanks,
Shalom
