Gord, I don't think you mean 'ref mode', there is no such term as far as I know. I guess you mean 'ref arguments'. In the proposal, in the FROM text, you duplicated the sentence, "Only variables, not nets, can be passed by reference." It only appears once in the LRM. Then in the TO text, you struck out the second, but that still leaves the first. You use the term "indexed select of an unpacked array". The term "indexed select" does not appear in the LRM and is not defined. The closest is "indexed part-select", referring to the [n+:p] syntax. I don't think you meant that. Mantis 2169 also adds the term "non-indexed part-select" to refer to the [m:n] syntax. Your list of permitted ref arguments would seem to exclude concatenations. That would be a narrower interpretation than 2097's. > At the last BC meeting, 2097 was discussed and I observed > that there is language related to ref modes that uses similar > terminology but for which a "wider" interpretation was expected. > I offered to write up a clarification.
