In light of this feedback and earlier feedback we'll abort the ballot. We'll revisit the document and send it out later for re-review and re-balloting.

Cheers,

Darren

A new section was added to explain the CFS concept and also explain dependencies and ordering.
This all is in line with the IntelliGen engine, currently used by default.

However, there is also a section on gen .. before and generation cycles.
Those concepts no longer apply, gen..before is ignored, and cycles are now called ICFS (explained in section 10.2.6)

The gen..before thing is only recognized by the old generator (Pgen), which does NOT follow the CFS concept, and does NOT report ICFSs.

In short, both are mutually exclusive. I therefore would advise to either remove the gen..before section, or explain that it is no longer applicable.

A similar contention exists between chapter 10.2.7.1.1 when Subtype Dependencies in Constraints and chapter 10.4.8 keep gen_before_subtypes()/10.4.9. keep reset_gen_before_subtypes() .

10.2.7.1.1. applies to IGen
10.4.8/9 applies to PGen and is ignored in currently supported version of Specman.

Just a gentle reminder that the ballot has been open for two days, but as yet with no votes..... I'll assume that you are all busy devouring the contents and will give fulsome review comments and approvals early next week. :)

Cheers,

Darren

Hi,

This refers to the following Mantis issues:
http://www.eda-stds.org/mantis/view.php?id=4318
http://www.eda-stds.org/mantis/view.php?id=4336

And refers to the following version of the document:
http://www.eda-twiki.org/twiki/pub/P1647/DownLoads/constraints_CompreshensiveUpdates_2014-07-08.pdf


This version of Chapter 10 was sent out for group review last week, and no additional feedback has been received. Therefore I am announcing a ballot, opening today and running for a week, on the following question.

Do you approve that this version of the document (for chapter 10) should be included in the LRM?


Please reply to the reflector with your response, or with any feedback on the document which you feel needs to be addressed.

Cheers,

Darren


PS. In my last e-mail I stated that the Mantis issue for Specman referenced in notes was moved to Closed/Fixed. This is incorrect - it was moved to Completed/Fixed - we will close all issues once we have addressed all of those we intend to and have a complete LRM.
