Attendees:

Agenda:

Meeting Discussion

• Restarting at line 85
• 85 SimulationControls reject nothing actionable
• 86 NewRulesBitLiterals reject action not clear and/or not clear of its usefullness
• 87 OrderingAllInterfaceLists accept. enhancement (also a regularization since we do this for generic lists)
• 88 ProcessAllIncudesAllReachableSubprograms accept. LRM clarification.
• 89 MultipleDesignHierarchies some day maybe - to become an enhancement it needs someone who has the issue to work it
• 90 PreponedProcess - some day maybe - not enough demand for this to justify making it an enhancement - particularly for the amount of work
• 91 UpdateStdLogicArith - some day maybe - not enough demand
• 92 DynamicProcessInstance - some day maybe
• 93 ShorthandSubprogram - some day maybe
• 94 SequentialSignal - some day maybe
• 95 ConditionalReturn - regularization
• 96 RecommendErrorMessages - reject
• 97 MixedSignalSupport - reject
• 98 MultiCyclePath - reject - either redundant or belongs in a synthesis standard (depending on your understanding of the proposal)
• 99 TruthTable - some day maybe - has similarity to Verilog gate libraries - can be implemented in VHDL as a constant with the input defined as the look up type.
• 100 RangeOperations - enhancement
• 101 AsynchronousChannels - some day maybe - needs more thought put into it and someone who is interested in it
• 102 AtomicComposites - reject - it is primarily compiler hinting
• 103 OverloadAssignment - enhancement - needs thought and trade off with implicit cast
• 104 ClockedShorthand - some day maybe - needs someone to work it and to come up with the "right" syntax
• 105 ProtectedTypeOperators - reject - there are no assignments to protected types and no proposal to do assignments
• 106 DynamicRewiring - some day maybe
• 107 SignalPools - subsumed by interfaces
• 108 UserDefIOrules - subsumed by interfaces
• 109 2State - reject - language revision that is trying to address a compiler optimization
