Review IEEE patent policy -------------------------------------- http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt 2. Review meeting minutes/Notes: -------------------------------------- a) Review meeting minutes of October 23rd 2006 October 23 2006: http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ec/Minutes/SV-EC_Meeting_October_23_2006_Minu tes.txt b) November 20, 2006: http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ec/Minutes/SV-EC_Meeting_November_20_2006_Min utes.txt 3. Action Items -------------------------------------- AI: 890 Arturo, Cliff : will work on the event scheduling portion. Doug : rewrite the description of #1step in 17.3 (shouldn't be too tough) Mehdi : talk to svac about the change to #1step, review before we vote. Francoise: Have steven give the committee feedback soon. AI: 1623, Heath: provide a proposal - timeunit and timeprecision. Action items: Previous meetings AI: follow-up to mantis 978 Neil - rewrite unique(), the first 2 sentences appear to be contradictory. - Make sure that it is clear that array elements are returned. - Add some examples for unique(). ** This will be tracked as mantis 1576 Neil - Array reduction methods can operate on arrays of non-integral values when a with clause is specified, as long as the type of the expression is an integral value. ** A new mantis item will be opened for tracking this. Gord - re-write section 5.15.4 - only the default argument value makes sense. Dave - what order is used for find and find_index (e.g. traversal is left to right of the bounds, associative is min to max) - 5.15.1 - change last sentence in first paragraph. All - can anyone come up with a realistic example? (last example 5.15.4) - not only where you would need it but also what does it mean. 4. Name Resolution sub-group update -------------------------------------- 5. Continue review and discussion on Mantis 890 and related mantis items -------------------------------------- 890 08-31-06 clarifications in program and clocking blocks (Doug) additional mantis items Additional mantis items 236 - should be resolved... ##0 239 - will close it 597 - AC ; close this one 608 - being clarified. 609 - association of clocking block, need a syntactic form. 1325 - was closed by SVAC - unnamed clocking blocks 1615 - was approved already - allows fork/join_none within functions 564 - Cross-program variable access (Sharp) [recommendation: to close] 553 - Program block exit semantics (Sharp) 551 - Program block interaction with queues (Sharp) 6.
