Ambrish:

As part of the process to produce Version 5.1, we
use the approved BIRDs as the basis, but then made editorial
changes to better organize and integrate the material.

Also, some rules might have been discussed at the ATM meeting
after review and added without BIRDs - such as the Integer
range falling within -2147483648 and 214783467.

Thanks for clarifying that, I didn't catch that.
In that case, the "man hunt" is still on...  :-)

Thanks,

Arpad,
The words "The user may assign any value without any restrictions within the
constraints of the Type of the variable." were inserted in the spec AFTER
BIRD 127.4 passed.

Thanks,
Ambrish.

Ambrish,

I am not sure why do you think that there must have been
another BIRD to suggest this change.  We went through a
lot of discussions about the corrections that BIRD 127
proposed.  I think this was just a result of one of those
corrections.

Thanks,

Arpad

Bob,
I didn't mean to suggest moving the text up or any such thing like that. I
was simply objecting to the 'addition' of the following text in the spec "
The user may assign any value without any restrictions within the
constraints of the Type of the variable."

The changes were invoked In BIRD 127.4 as reproduced below:

On pg. 140 replace the following lines:

|   Format: (default is range)
|     Value     <value> Single value data
|     Range     <typ value> <min value> <max value>
|     List      <typ value> <value> <value> <value> ... <value>

with these lines:

|*  Format <data_format> <data>:
|*
|*  Where Format is optional and <data_format> and <data> are required.
|*  <data_format> and <data> must be substituted with one of the following:
|*    Value     <value> Single value data.  Note that Value and Default
|*              (defined below) are mutually exclusive, and must not be used
|*              together for the same parameter.
|     Range     <typ value> <min value> <max value>
|     List      <typ value> <value> <value> <value> ... <value>


So there must have been another BIRD to change the text. Can you or anyone
else point me to that please?
Thanks,
Ambrish.

Ambrish:

I disagree with your editorial suggestion.

There may be other issues with the definitions of Value, Range, etc.,
but the existing definition is textually formatted in a way that is parallel
to
the other definitions -the argument(s) on the same line and the definition
under it.

Bob

Here's another one:
(Page 177)

Value <value>  
Single value data.  The user may assign any value without any restrictions
within the 
constraints of the Type of the variable.

Should be:

Value     <value> Single value data

Thanks,
Ambrish.

Good catch. That could be added to the list of typo corrections.

I think I just found a fairly serious cut and paste error in IBIS v5.1 on
pg. 185.

Both GetWave_Exists and Use_Init_Output has the same exact sentence
for the Definition:

"Tells EDA tool whether the AMI_GetWave is implemented in this model"

While this is correct for the GetWave_Exists, it is quite wrong for
Use_Init_Output...  I think this must be corrected for the next version
of the specification.

Thanks,

Arpad
