Hi all, With regard to Mantis issue #4956: Summary 0004956: X and Z values supported for ports of type real Description in a recent version R&D added support for X and Z values on real ports. This should be reflected in the MVL section on ports in the standard My suggestion is that nothing needs to be updated in the current LRM. It seems that the only change from the e language perspective is that MVL methods of simple_ports (such as get_mvl(), put_mvl(), etc.) are now also supported for simple_port of real. However, in the current LRM there is no mention of the fact that it is not supported (it just tells "Predefined method for simple ports", without specifying simple_port of what types). Any other opinions/suggestions? If agreed, we can close this issue. Regardless, it seems that there is a mistake in Section 4.1.4.3.2 of the current LRM, which gives Examples for MVL literals. It shows the following examples: 32'hffffxxxx 32'HFFFFXXXX //16'_b1100uuuuu --illegal because (_) is between (') and base 19'oL0001 14'D123 -- illegal because decimal literals are not supported 64'bz_1111_0000_1111_0000 5.3876e4 1e+5 7.321E-3 But the last three seem wrong and have nothing to do with MVL (they are just literal values of type real). If I am correct, then I think we should remove them. Thanks, Yuri.
