RE: [vhdl-200x] Issues in vhdl-2008

Hi,

The VHDL bugzilla system was set up for just this purpose by the ISAC many years ago.  The ISAC is not a body independent of this working group.  It is a subcommittee, which may not have many members or be active.  The reason it must be so is that IEEE does not allow publication of interpretations or corrections to any IEEE standard except by an update to the standard itself.  The ISAC was doing that very thing for many years.  The change is that ISAC has to work within the standards organization policies and procedures.

Using this system to capture bugs and proposed resolutions fulfills a need for the industry to report their concerns.  The actions of the ISAC subcommittee, if done with same discipline, can be captured as resolved bugs in this same system and used for LRM editing in future revisions of 1076.  I might add, a similar model is used in P1800.

Regards, John

Subject: [vhdl-200x] Issues in vhdl-2008

I have collected a few issues in the current 2008 standard that I'd like to report.

Technically, they aren't proposals but either minor and easily fixable issues that don't really need to be discussed (typos, vocabulary) or real bugs that don't always have a clear solution.

I think they should be reported to ISAC, but that committee looks asleep or dead.

Where is the best replace to report issues ?

Tristan.
