I guess this falls into the category of deprecation then... I would really hate to have to do something for the rest of our lives that doesn't make any sense just because the parser enforces it now, and because some models are using it now.

This is one of the few places where the usage of Value and Default is strictly enforced by the Parser. So we need to somehow express that Value is preferred, but that Default will be tolerated. Walter -----Original Message----- From: ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Muranyi, Arpad Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 6:48 PM To: IBIS-ATM Subject: [ibis-macro] Question on Value/Default BIRD Walter, I want to ask a question about this BIRD. My understanding of the Reserved parameters is that they tell the EDA tool some information about the model. For example, | Init_Returns_Impulse, Use_Init_Output, GetWave_Exists, | Max_Init_Aggressors and Ignore_Bits are all parameters which provide information about what the model contains or does, or conditions at which the model should be operated at. Is the user of the tool and the model expected to change the values of any of these parameters? I don't expect that this would make sense... In that case, why should we allow Default at all? I don't see that there would ever be a choice to make with these parameters. Shouldn't this BIRD simply replace the Default with Value instead of allow both?
