Hello everyone,

 

This is to inform and remind you that the recent revised

BIRD drafts which were distributed on this email list

have been all uploaded to the ATM web site:

 

 

http://www.vhdl.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/archive/20110613/arpadmurany
i/Add%20Boolean%20to%20BNF%20for%20IBIS%20AMI%20BIRD%20draft%204/AMI_Boo
leanInBNF_BIRD_04.pdf

a/Defining%20Relationships%20between%20Type%20and%20Format%20BIRD%20draf
t%204/Type_Format_Table_BIRD_04.txt

 

 

http://www.vhdl.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/archive/20110613/arpadmurany
i/Out-InOut%20BIRD%20draft%2010/Out_InOut_BIRD_10.pdf

(the discussion on this one will take place after

the correction BIRD drafts have been all submitted).

 

 

In addition, a new revision of the AMI_ParametersOut_BIRD

draft has been just uploaded to the ATM website:

 

http://www.vhdl.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/archive/20110614/arpadmurany
i/AMI_parameters_out%20Clarification%20BIRD%20draft%204/AMI_ParametersOu
t_BIRD_04.pdf

 

In this one I changed the first paragraph of the following

sections:

 

|* 3.1.2.7 AMI_parameters_out

|* ==========================

 

 

|* 3.1.2.9 msg

|* ===========

 

 

|* 3.2.2.4 AMI_parameters_out

|* ==========================

 

 

to make it clearer (especially for **msg) which AMI function

may use these arguments.

 

The question regarding this BIRD draft I would like to answer

in today's ATM meeting is whether it is sufficient to say which

function "may use" these string pointers, or whether we also have

to say which functions are "NOT allowed" to use them.  For example,

should the description under **msg also say that AMI_GetWave is

not allowed to put a string pointer into the address pointed to

by the argument?  As they say, if it can be done, it will be done...

Should we take the precautions and prevent that from happening?

 

 

 

Please be ready to discuss these BIRD drafts in the meeting today

and possibly vote on them for submission to the Open Forum if there

are no more questions.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Arpad
