SVDB 1397 __Yes   _X_No

Can you vote down your own proposal??  After some internal discussion
here at Intel about the dangers of this proposal vs the benefits we have
decided to vote this one down and wait for the hybrid text/token
description to come at a later time.

SVDB 1809 ___Yes   ___No        X Abstain 
http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=1809 

I don't have anywhere near the comprehension that I need to make a vote
on this.  I understood Gord's original proposal, but the new one is very
difficult to understand so I'll let the implementation folks make the
decision.

SVDB 2037 ___Yes   _X_No (Just want a couple questions clarified before
I change to yes)
http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=2037 

In example 3, is there a dependency on the order of the "instance"
lines.  In other words do I have to override the .WIDTH(32) _before_ I
override top.a1 on the next line?  What if I reversed the order of these
lines?  Any issues there that we need to consider or clarify in the
proposal?

  config cfgl;

    design rtlLib.top;

    instance top use #(.WITDH(32));

    instance top.a1 use #(.W(top.WIDTH));

  endconfig

In example 4, do we need to consider the semantic difference between
parameter vs localparam.  For example, if I have a localparam in top4
for WIDTH, this in essence means I don't want to change this value.  If
I am using a "parameter" in the config to override this, is this okay?
To avoid this type of confusion, perhaps all config parameters should be
localparam?  

A parameter or localparam can be used in a configuration to represent a
value sent to multiple instances.

 

  module top4 ();

    parameter WIDTH = 16;

    adder a1 #(.ID("a1"))(...);

    adder a2 #(.ID("a2"))(...);

    adder a3 #(.ID("a3"))(...);

    adder a4 #(.ID("a4"))(...);

  endmodule

 

  config cfg2;

    localparam S = 24

    design rtlLib.top4;

    instance top4.a1 use #(.W(S));

    instance top4.a2 use #(.W(S));

  endconfig
