RE: [sv-ac] call for vote on 1601

John,

I vote no on 1601

I do not understand what this means "The second is to use the context
type. context is used to specify that the argument can have any type
that is legal for an actual argument."

Sure it needs to be legal within the context it is placed. For example
if an expression was passed to a bit slicing operator.

This is also confusing "The assignment rules for assigning actual
argument expressions to formal arguments, at the time of
sequence instantiation, are the same as the general rules for doing
assignment of a typed variable
with a typed expression (see Clause 4)."

What about padding and truncation?

 
Thanks
Hillel

Subject: [sv-ac] call for vote on 1601

All:

Lisa has updated the proposal for 1601 to use the keyword "context", as
suggested by Bassam, instead of "implicit" (1601_context_type_1.pdf).

I have not seen any discussion in response to Bassam's explanation of
the rationale behind the use of "context"
for this purpose.

Therefore, I am calling for an email vote on the revised
1601 proposal.

Below is the voting eligibility for this ballot.  If you are eligible to
vote then please do, as 80% participation in ballots is required to
maintain eligibility.

J.H.
