7. New business

• Item 3087 (discuss updated proposal 1.0.1 and Annex H)

Since Vitaly was not on the call at this time, discussion started on issues found by Arnob

Arnob: All new type of enumeration, arrays not same as DPI-C, want to understand motivation behind that and contrast that with users’ pain to understand

Arnob & Arturo: DPI-OO would not be compatible with current DPI-C standard

Arnob has made comments on the proposal document itself. Consensus is to upload it with a different name for the committee to share

Discussion on pragma & comments as continuation from reflector discussion by Brad Pierce and Dave Rich. Argument is for richer syntax that will not require the user to re-type the classes.

Vitaly joined 40 minutes into the call

Vitaly: Response to the pragma issue is that SV language does not provide for all different options

Arnob: However, use of pragma can cause compatibility issues between different vendors

Discussion on how much to expose or make it transparent between proposed interface to C++ and third layer language on top of C++ (Arturo, Vitaly, Jim)

Forcing tools to parse C++ should not be part of standard (Arnob)
