Re: [sv-bc] Resend: E-mail Ballot: Respond by 8am PDT, Tuesday, March 25

Cliff's Votes

SVDB 1465  Yes
I hope to go over the examples a little better before the start of 
the meeting but the content appears to be a nice upgrade in the explanation.

SVDB 1769  Yes
As long as the vendors are okay with this set of elaboration system 
tasks, I can support them. If the vendors express reservations then I 
will re-evaluate my yes-vote.

SVDB 2269  No

The proposal may be fine but I am having trouble understanding the 
following wording:

the cast shall return the value that a packed array type with a 
single [n-1:0] dimension would hold after being assigned the 
expression, where n is the cast size. The signedness shall pass 
through unchanged, i.e., the signedness of the result shall be the 
self-determined signedness of the expression inside the cast. The 
array elements shall be of type bit if the expression inside the cast 
is 2-state, otherwise they shall be of type logic.

"a packed array type with a single [n-1:0] dimension" is this another 
way (perhaps more precise way) of describing a packed variable?

"The array elements shall be of type ..." if it was just a packed 
variable, why are we talking about the elements of the array?

I just want this explained in the meeting, then I will likely change 
my vote to yes
