Neil,
The following lists the sections of merged LRM that
we had prioritized for sv-ec members.  This should be
a start point for the sv-ec to review the cross-references,
the mantis items and 'Questions'.  
Regards,
- Mehdi

Subject: [sv-ec] Action required on the merged LRM - draft3

Hi all,

At the last P1800 working group meeting it was agreed that we should
proceed with the merged LRM. There will not be any more updates made to
the 1364 LRM.
Draft 3 of the P1800 LRM is now available. This is the first draft that
has all of the SystemVerilog/Verilog merges in place.

Below is a summary of the actions each committee will need to take.


1) Cross references

   Virtually every cross reference had to be replaced during the merge
process.
   Since clause and subclauses were significantly restructured, Stu
sometimes
   had to make subjective decisions on where the new cross references
point to.
   Stu tried to be careful and thorough, but there was ample room for
   mistakes.

   Each committee should spend some time checking each cross reference
in the
   clauses under their charge.

2) BNF excerpts

   All BNF excerpts should be reviewed to
      a) make sure the appropriate productions are in the excerpt.
      b) make sure the excerpts are up-to-date with the BNF.

   In particular, BNF excerpts from 1364 were replaced with excerpts
from
   1800.  In some cases, the 1364 and 1800 BNFs were structured very
   differently.

3) Mantis proposals not yet reviewed by the Champions

   All resolved Mantis items that are pending Champions approval and
   implementation should be reviewed against Draft3 of the LRM. The
subclause
   numbering for where changes need to be made may have changed and need
   updating.  In some cases, the text to be corrected may have been
removed
   (due to redundancy) or had other text merged in.

4) Margin notes from the editor

   Some of the margin notes begin with "QUESTION". These are red flags
marking
   where Stu felt the merge had some ambiguity that was more than just
   editorial.


Please start working on these tasks. Now that a decision has been made
on the merged LRM, the Champions will start meeting on a regular basis.
This will allow the editor to make updates over a period of time and not
have a huge crunch at the end.

I would like each chair to send me a list of the sections of the LRM
that they plan to work on. That way I can make sure that every section
will be covered.

Neil
