Meeting Minutes:
================
Cliff notes that the minutes title was wrong, should have been Dec. 11
instead of Dec. 8, that the next meeting should have been Jan. 5
instead of Dec. 11, that it should have said that Cliff attended
instead of that he didn’t. (Cliff also notes that no comments about
his proposal had been recorded in the minutes.) With those changes,
Cliff moves that we accept the minutes of 12/11/03. Nikhil seconds.
No opposed. No abstains. Passes.
New Action Items:
=================
Johny to discuss schedule with Vassilios and adjust SV-BC meeting
schedule if necessary.
Dave to make a proposal for SV-BC 105 and 124 (one proposal will
cover both) and a proposal for the issue of message 1376 from
Paul Graham.
Cliff to review his proposal for SV-BC 54 against Draft 2 and send
his proposal out by the end of Jan. 5 to the reflector for an e-mail
vote to be closed on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 5pm EST.
Johny to conduct e-mail vote on Cliff’s proposal for SV-BC 54.
Issues:
=======
3 proposals passed
-------------------
SV-BC 16, Dave proposes the following
In section 18.6 nested modules, add the following paragraph
after “This allows the same module name, e.g. and2, to occur
in different parts of the design and represent different modules.
Note that an alternative way of handling this problem is to use
configurations.”
Nested modules with no ports that are not explicitly
instantiated shall be implicitly instantiated once with
an instance name identical to the module name. Otherwise,
if they have ports, if not explicitly instantiated, they
are ignored.
Cliff seconds. No opposed. No abstain. Passes.
and Dave further proposes that a new section 18.7 called "Extern
Modules" should be begun preceding the following paragraph in
section 18.6 "To support separate compilation, extern declarations
of a module can be used to declare the ports on a module
without defining the module itself...." Cliff seconds. No opposed.
No abstains. Passes.
Brad proposes that in 3.11, REPLACE
"One or more elements of the packed array can be selected"
WITH
"One or more bits of a packed structure can be selected
as if it were a packed array"
Cliff seconds. No opposed. No abstains. Passes.
7 issues closed (96, 97, 111, 112, 116, 118, 138)
-------------------------------------------------
SV-BC 96 – Dave moves to close as duplicate of SV-BC 49 and SV-BC 53,
both of which have passed. Nikhil seconds. No opposed. No abstains.
Closed.
SV-BC 97 – Dave moves to close because already defined in 12.4 of V2K
standard. (Note that interfaces do not get implicitly instantiated,
but programs do. There is an open issue about programs.)
Nikhil seconds. No opposed. Francoise abstains. Closed.
SV-BC 111 and SV-BC 138 – Dave moves to close as covered by SV-BC 53.
Francoise seconds. No opposed. No abstains. Closed.
SV-BC 112 – Dave moves to close. Nikhil seconds. No opposed.
No abstains. Closed.
SV-BC 116 – Dave moves to close because rendered irrelevant
by SV-BC 103 (enum labels are no longer used to specify the
type of the enum). Francoise seconds. No opposed. No abstains.
Closed.
SV-BC 118 – Dave moves to close. Francoise seconds. No opposed.
No abstains. Closed.

Meeting adjourns.
