AGENDA
Draft 6 review
MINUTES
Checking editor notes in draft 6
Main Text - Editors comments:
- Section 2.6: Is cast the right term? Change to assign - add sentence
mentioning casting in this case behaves in a similar fashion, with
reference to appropriate section.
- Section 2.7: Answer is no. Reference required to BNF to show alternative
formats.
- Section 4 beginning: No action required
- Section 4.5: No action required.
- Section 6.1: Note that we did not actually change attributes
- Section 7.9 1: Unsized values in concatenations are illegal deals with
objection. Remove editor notes
- Section 7.9 2: Correction in box needs to be made. Should be replication
with multiple concatenation in brackets.
- Section 8.4: Added paragraph looks good
- Section 8.6: Need to say that it is legal to disable a named statement -
paragraph below editors note is incorrect. Need new statement.
- Section 10.7 Comment from Kevin: Kevin had a proposal on providing ids
for dynamic processes, for future potential processing, that was not
resolved. Previously decided to defer this for 3.1.
- Section 12.1 Comment from Anders: Where we have .*, we should also have .name
- Section 12.2: Paragraph should be included
- Section 12.3: Peter will to examine BNF segment for errors
ACTION: PeterF to look at this BNF segment in section 12.
- Section 12.5: Change looks good
- Section 16.3: Peter / Paul think the array syntax looks fine.
- Section 16.5 / 16.6: Tom to send syntax to Stu. FYI: syntax based on
dumpvars syntax. Tom to review in general
ACTION: Tom to send required syntax and review
- Section 18 in general: Needs review from Assertions committee.
ACTION: Tom to review or arrange review as appropriate
- Section 18.2: Include in review above
- Section 18.3 Comment from Andy: Example correction required
Annex A - BNF:
- Section A.2.7: Port should be removed.
- Section A.4.2.2: generate_interface_condition_statement wrong
indentation. Option generate block identifier missing. Line looks incorrect
but we need Stefens view. In general this section needs more review.
Previous section as well.
ACTION: Stu to send Stefen email and Stefen to provide input
Section A.6.4: Delete comment. Add footnote explaining that this is a void
function call.
Section A.9.3: Delete comment. Replace with footnote
Annex B - Keywords:
Keyword 'state' needs to be removed.
Annex C - Glossary:
Do we need to do the Glossary? Stu will attempt to get a list together in
the next few days, and then send it to Peter who can add definitions.
Anders can do it but not in the next month. Alternative if Stu does not
have time.
In general page headers need to be updated with correct year.
