A correction to the minutes.
they state:
David Smith observed that this was also true about the ESS donation based
on SuperLog and that the required semantics and syntax was added to the
language.
this is technically wrong. the facts are:
SUPERLOG was designed as an extension to Verilog syntax and semantics and
is completely consistent with it.
When ESS and DAS were donated to Accellera they both were already competely
compatible with Verilog 95, 2001 syntax. A fundamental strategy of the
language design was to extend Verilog, not be an alternative to it.
There were no modifications to ESS from donation to standardization as
SystemVerilog - just the deferral of some items, and the addition of one.
No changes to syntax or semantics.
Vera was not designed as an extension to Verilog, but as an extra language,
an HVL - that has constructs to connect one language to another.
I believe we should be looking to focus on Vera as an HVL - in the same way
that as Verilog95 was standardized it was not modified by OVI to break all
the existing Verilog code that people had working with it. We don't want to
start modifying Vera - it already works - we need to keep it consistent
with the legacy code that is out there - otherwise we would be doing a
disservice to its users and Accellera members.
also what is the 'workbench' you keep mentioning - I cannot recall it being
mentioned in the meeting.
