[sv-ac] RE: question on vpiAssertSysKill

Hi Lisa,
 
Yes I believe an error of sorts -- the terminology "considers ...
unterminated" is misleading (particularly with recent additions) and
should be changed to "discards ..." like the others.
 
Thx.
-Bassam.

Bassam,

Is this a mistake, saying that vpiAssertionSysKill (38.5.1)  does not
terminate assertions in progress?  If not , then what is the difference
in vpiAssertionSysOff and vpiAssertionSysKill?  This is also
inconsistent with Off versus Kill for $assertoff/kill and
vpiAssertionKill.


- vpiAssertionSysOff disables any further assertions from being started.
Assertions already

executing are not affected.

- vpiAssertionSysKill considers all attempts in progress as unterminated
and disables any further

assertions from being started.

Lisa
