RE: [sv-bc] lrm compiler directive order

OK, that would bring us to something like this:
 
21. Compiler Directives
21.1 General
21.2 Overview
21.3 Text-processing directives

	21.3.1 `begin_keywords, `end_keywords
	21.3.2 `define, `undef
	21.3.3 `ifdef, `ifndef, `else, `elsif, `endif
	21.3.4 `include
	21.3.5 `line

21.4 Other directives

	21.4.1 `celldefine, `endcelldefine
	21.4.2 `default_nettype
	21.4.3 `pragma
	21.4.4 `resetall
	21.4.5 `timescale
	21.4.6 `unconnected_drive, `nounconnected_drive
	 

How is that ?
 
Thanks,
Shalom

	I would at least like to see them split into text processing
directives, and then all the other semantic altering directives.

	Hi,

	 

	I would like to vote to brining it back to the alphabetical
order as Shalom suggests.

	 

	Thanks

	I don't have a very strong opinion on this.  So if others do
feel strongly one way or another I will happily back down.

	 

	I tend to like having `define, `include and `ifdef towards the
top because these seem to directives that are more commonly used.  Where
as at least in code I've seen from users `pragma and `begin_keywords are
not as often used, so I'm fine with them being at the bottom of the
section.

	Hi,

	 

	In 1364-1995, compiler directives were ordered in the LRM
alphabetically. (Some directives were described in the same subclause as
another, and then the order went by the first directive in the
subclause.)

	 

	In 1364-2001, the order was almost preserved, except that
somehow `line got into the wrong place.

	 

	1364-2005 messed up by adding `pragma and `begin_keywords at the
end.

	 

	Now P1800 doesn't seem to have any particular order.

	 

	Can we go back to the alphabetical order?

	 

	Thanks,

	Shalom
