RE: [sv-ec] ballot issue #105

As I recall from the committee conference call when we discussed issue 105,
the reason this was classified as "non-trivial" was simply because it needed
a Mantis item created and a proposal written to change the wording in 19.3.
The committee agreed that although there was nothing technically wrong with
the current wording in 19.3, the wording could be made more clear (and
consistent with 19.5) by changing "variable or an expression" to "integral
expression"

Hi Dave,

 

Do you think we need to match the following two lines in this context?

 

Section 19.3

"A coverage point can cover a variable or an expression."

Section 19.5

"A coverage point specifies an integral expression that is to be covered."

 

I believe the second is the generic one.

 

Regds,

Swapnajit

Ballot issue #105 reads:

There is no mention of nets/wires being specified in the coverage model.
Refer last line.

That's entered against 19.2.  The last line includes the phrase "Associate
bins with sets of values, transitions, or cross products".

 

I don't see what's non-trivial about this.  It looks trivial.  In fact, I
think the current wording of the draft standard is just fine.  "Sets of
values" (for coverpoint bins) are specified as expressions, and net
identifiers may be expressions, too.  6.5 and 6.7 are clear enough about
what nets are and how they may be declared with integral data types.

 

I recommend we do nothing about this one.
