RE: [sv-bc] Agenda: August 14 SV-BC CC

What is the implication of the last part of this paragraph. 
"Integration with AMS; and insures
interoperability with other languages such as SystemC and VHDL."

Does the language have to be "extended" to accomodate 
SystemC and VHDL syntax/semantics. Or does the committee
have to work on an interoperability standards, that
specifies how to mix and match these languages?

Thanks

Logie.

That quote is from the general "Need for the Project" part of the PAR.

The specific "Scope" item, which is what really defines the project for
the IEEE, reads:

"SystemVerilog 1800 is a Unified Hardware Design, Specification and
Verification language. Verilog 1364-2005 is a design language. Both
standards were approved by the IEEE-SASB in November 2005. This standard
creates new revisions of the Verilog 1364 and SystemVerilog 1800 IEEE
standards, which include Errata fixes and resolutions; enhancements;
Enhanced assertion language; Merge of Verilog LRM and SystemVerilog 1800
LRM into a single LRM; Integration with AMS; and insures
interoperability with other languages such as SystemC and VHDL."
