[sv-ac] corrected SV-AC minutes for 2007-01-23

From: John Havlicek <john.havlicek_at_.....>
Date: Tue Jan 23 2007 - 11:32:00 PST
All:

I have attached corrected minutes.

I checked the operating guidelines, and new members joining after the
first three meetings do not achieve voting eligibility until they have
attended two consecutive meetings.

This means that Tom Thatcher is not yet eligible to vote.

My apologies for the mistake.

J.H.

Agenda:
-------

- Reminder of IEEE working group rules.
- Update from argument subcommittee.
- Discuss enhancements to be addressed by SV-BC.
- 1601:  Context type (under ballot)
- 1550:  $sampled definition
- 1591:  $past syntax not precise
- 1460:  Allow actions with assume property statements
- 1641:  Severity specification for error msgs (should be discussed together with SV-BC)
- 1668:  Local var initializers


Notes:
------

- Reminder of IEEE working group rules.
- Update from argument subcommittee.
  . LP:  There was a mixup on the time last week.  Will meet this Thursday.
  . DB:  We will need to define formal semantics for subproperties and 
         subsequences.
- Discuss enhancements to be addressed by SV-BC.
  . DK:  We need to send these items to SV-BC and tell them that
    their resolution is important for SV-AC.  DR said that one of the 
    items is a pure SV-AC issue.
  . DB, EC:  We probably need to provide a sketch of the solution 
    to make sure we get something we can use.
  . DK:  Remove the one item, state that we want to be involved,
    and EC and DK can participate.

- 1601:  Context type (under ballot)
  . Ballot aborted due to negative votes.
  . JH:  What specific changes need to be made to make 1601 acceptable?
  . DK:  The point is that context is used to put untyped arguments
    after typed ones.  Pure syntactic enhancements.
  . JH:  Try to make an example that simply shows reordering of arguments.
    Two declarations with different formal argument orders, two instances,
    and a statement of equivalence of the instances should be enough.
  . DK:  Syntax for property formal arguments needs to be added.

- 1550:  $sampled definition
  . JH:  Called for vote on 1550.  

- 1591:  $past syntax not precise
  . DK:  Proposal is not ready yet.  Intend to send tomorrow.  Discuss
    for one week, then call for a vote.

- 1460:  Allow actions with assume property statements
  . DK:  Leave one week for discussion and then call for a vote.

- 1641:  Severity specification for error msgs (should be discussed together with SV-BC)
  . LP:  Decouple severity from assertion failure, associate it with severity
    task.
  . TS:  There are two modes, one in assertion with more information, one
    outside with less.
  . LP:  What about a task that calls $error, e.g.?  We want to know
    what called the task.
  . EC:  What about implicit %m format?  Does this pick up the assertion
    label?
  . TS:  What about assertion failure severity?  
  . JH:  Maybe we can get rid of the concept of assertion failure severity.  If
    not, then we probably have to figure out what assertion pass severity means.     
  . TS:  Will check with Manisha about the source of this and whether it can
    be eliminated.
  . LP:  We need to have simulation time output with these tasks.
  . DK:  We need to share this with SV-BC.
  . JH:  Should we start copying SV-BC?
  . ??:  Let's continue to figure out what we want before we pass this on
    to SV-BC.


- 1668:  Local var initializers
  . JH:  Still working on the proposal.

- 1704:
  . LP will update and send message to reflector.

- LP uploaded 1722, clarifications on bind.
