RE: [sv-ac] SV-AC: "Which" for "tha"t editing changes

I agree.

Also, please be sure to use the clause numbers for the location of all
changes. Page numbers do not work well because they continually change
during the editing process. Clause numbers occasionally change too, but at
least not with every new text that is entered into, or deleted from, the
standard.

Hi,

I disagree with only one change. On page 422, the use of "would" clarifies
that the assignment mentioned does not actually exist, so I would word it as

"The value assigned to w is the same as would result from the declaration
assignment w = a || b."

Regards,

Shalom

Below is a list of editing on the misuse of "which" for "that" or for the
omission of the "which"

I looked into sections 16 and 17. If you disagree with me and find a better
correction, let's do that.

It is very important that this document be grammatically correct, as much as
possible. The misuse of "which" for "that" pronoun is very common. Let's do
the right thing at this go around.

Stuart, since these are English editing, you need to check the other
sections.

1800'D4 page 40:

The syntax does not completely define the semantics of such qualified terms;
for example

while an identifier which that would qualify semantically as an
array_identifier is created by a declaration, such declaration forms are not
explicitly described using array_identifier in the syntax.

16.4 Deferred assertions, page 375

The requirement of a single subroutine call implies that no begin-end block
shall surround the pass or fail statements, as begin is itself a statement
which that is not a subroutine call.

16.4.5 Deferred assertions and multiple processes, page 385

Some types of access may require creating a copy of the entire data
structure which could

incur a significant performance penalty.

w is performed second. The value assigned to w is the same as that which
would result from the declaration assignment w = a || b.
