My votes below.

 

 

I do have an issue with 907.  I would like to ask for clarification of
the following sentence "If a parameter of a design element has no
default value, then the design element shall not be implicitly
instantiated (see 22.3, 22.4, and 23.3)"  My request is to not redirect
the reader to these 3 huge clauses so they can understand the sentence.
I think what I see missing in the proposal was an explanation of what
happens when the call doesn't have a parameter value _and_ tne
declaration doesn't assign a default.  I think this sentence is
attempting to explain this but can we make put this in more laymen's
terms?  I'd like to see something like "If a default is not assigned in
the declaration and no value is provided in the call, an error shall be
issued". I think the assumption being that when default values are not
in the declaration, the call must provide them. Correct me if I am
wrong:-)

 

On 1468, I move that we use Shalom's friendly change.  The wording will
be "The always_latch procedure is almost identical to the always_comb
procedure. All statements in 9.2.2.2 shall apply to always_latch as
well. The exception is that software tools may perform additional checks
to warn if the behavior in an always_latch procedure does not represent
latched logic, whereas in an always_comb procedure, they may check and
warn if the behavior does not represent combinational logic."
