%TOC%

---++ Meeting Discussion
   * Review Interface Proposals
   * What's Next - see [[PrivateDocuments]] file: _summary_vhdl_requirements_priority.xlsx
      * Resuming at line 15
      * Composites of Protected Types
         * Needed for indexed data structures, like arrays of scoreboards
         * Will need constraint that a composite of a protected type may only include a protected type
      * Report Calling Path of Subprogram
         * Needed for Error reporting
      * Anonymous Types on Subprogram calls
         * ?? Complexity
         * A compromise might be to allow generics to be mapped on a subprogram call
         * Mapping generics on usage is something that is desirable to do for packages and types (assuming that we add generics to types - such as protected types)
      * Protected Types and Aliases
         * Support aliases to methods of protected types.
         * Purpose: Allow protected type method names to be changed (for consistency among utilities), while maintaining backward compatibility.
      * Attributes for Enums
         * 'Length and 'Range seem to be obvious
         * 'Serialize seems to be a conversion on top of 'pos
            * Hard to write a one parameter function to do this. Would need either a generic type or anonymous type and a way to designate that doing 'pos on the type is allowed (ie: the type is a scalar).
            * Easy to do with a two parameter function to do this, however, the call is longer
      * 
   * Review Integer Proposals
