5. Consent Agenda

6. Expedited Agenda Items

7. New business

• Item 3116
  • Named events do not have a typespec. They are more like variables now. Chuck suggested that we might consider changing them to vpiEventVar.
  • Chuck asked if there was any likelyhood of them taking on additional variable like properties. Francoise did not think it was worth the trouble
  • of moving them to event vars. Too many backwards compatibility problems would occur. Are allowed in places where variables are not allowed.
  • Given the feedback, Chuck will put together a proposal that only adds a typespec, of type vpiEventTypespec. Francoise asked how arrays
  • would work.
• Item 1477
  • Chuck wants to eliminate Interface Decl and use it for virtual interface variable instead. Was a method. New would be both a method and
  • an object type. Francoise would like more time to review the proposal. SV-EC is also discussing virtual interfaces, and they are considering
  • allowing them in ports. Chuck thought they were already allowed there. We will put it under Items with proposals for next time.
• Item 3115
  • Amit described the proposal in Item 3115. The proposal allows DPI applications to specify the lifetime of an argument passed to/from the
  • DPI application. Francoise asked how the C code can find out how the routine was declared? Can it be found out through VPI? Amit asked
  • if that info was available in VPI. Chuck looked, and there was an Automatic property. Amit also thought that the DPI application developer
  • should be aware of how the routine was defined. We will put this Item under Items with proposals for next time.
