RE: [vhdl-200x-ft] Revised FT13: stop and finish operations

Tristan,

I'm happy for the ENV package to be in library STD rather than IEEE.

The VHPI draft is now available for review by WG members. Please contact
Steve Bailey for access details (see attached). It describes the semantics
of stop, finish and reset in terms of the simulation cycle. However, the
semantics of the proposed STOP and FINISH procedures in ENV would be
slightly different, since they can only be called during the process
execution step of the initialization phase or simulation cycle.

Cheers,

PA

Hi Everyone,

Francoise and the VHPI team have completed the 2nd draft of the VHPI portion
of the LRM. They believe that it is ready for a broader review. If you
would like to review the VHPI, please contact Francoise and I
(sbailey@model.com) and we will provide instructions on accessing and how to
feedback comments.

Chuck Swart, can you find someone from the ISAC team that has not already
been involved in VHPI to review?

Thanks,
