2. Approval of agenda

3. Review minutes from last meeting (Sep-28-2011)

Jim/Michael. ACCEPTED

4. Liaisons

• Francoise reported:
  • Champions email votes going on with some large SV-AC proposals
  • SV-DC has approved AMS extensions that need VPI extensions
    • These are not in the AMS standard
  • User defined net types also added by SV-DC.
• No other meetings to report.

5. Consent Agenda

6. Expedited Agenda Items

7. New business

• _MSC_VER
  • Defines the Microsoft compiler version
  • Wait for Daniel to respond to what he is trying to accomplish then adjust the proposal for Item 3022 accordingly.
• Item 3884
  • Jim has put together a proposal to add VPI support for soft constraints
  • Response to 2987.
    • Ability to override constraints in the base class
  • vpiSafe needs to be vpiSoft.
  • vpiSoftDisable also needs to be added to the include file.
  • The other proposal tries to distinguish that soft constraints in a derived class have a higher priority.
  • Jim thinks we should go for the more complex proposal.
  • Chas will add this item to the agenda for next time.
• Item 3192 and Item 0757
  • We addressed part of 0757 but it is not complete. Adding vpiExtern to the header file does not resolve it.
  • We could use the method in 3192 to solve this one too.
  • Adding a detail could solve it.
  • Chuck can put a proposal together for Item 0757 that will refer to the proposal in Item 3192.
• Continue review of Item 3087
  • Vitaly addmitted that it may be confusing that DPI-OO is more written for vendors instead of for the user. Putting the DPI-OO and DPI-C into the same Annex may cause confusion.
  • There are 3 major issues and several minor issues left to resolve.
  • Vitaly thought it might be useful to provide a flow diagram for the memory management.
  • We really need Arturo to discuss his issues.
  • Vitaly suggested maybe we could have a face to face meeting so we can make further progress.
  • George reported that Arnab is working on a response to some issue for this topic.
  • Francoise thinks we can make progress on the open array issues and the memory management issues.
  • The rest will need Arturo.
• No other new business

8. Review SV-CC items with proposals:

• Item 3737
  • Added info for vpiLeftRange and vpiRightRange.
  • Chuck/Jim. PASSED (unanimous)
