  • LCS-2016-049 Map Generics On Subprogram Call 3 votes LCS-2016-050 API for Assert 3 votes
  • LCS-2016-059a Allow ordering on any scalar array (currently is only discrete arrays)
  • LCS-2016-063 Wait Level - Signal Expressions in Signal Parameter Map 1 vote
  • LCS-2016-075 Closely related record types 3 Votes
• What Must Become an LCS
  • 006B - http://www.eda-twiki.org/cgi-bin/view.cgi/P1076/FileIo
    • DREAD, DWRITE, to_dstring,
    • HREAD, OREAD, BREAD, DREAD to_ ... for integer
  • PSL Update
  • 1735 Update
  • VHPI ? So far no one has expressed interest
  • ISAC 03: Signatures for Association List Aspects
  • ISAC 04: Assigning 2008 Entities to Attribute Classes - Jim?
  • ISAC 11: Repair Generate Statements - Tristan?
  • ISAC 12: Force an Out Port -
  • ISAC 17: Typographical Issues in IEEE Std 1076-2008 - Done by 1076.1? Ernst
  • ISAC 18: Process-All Should Not Be Sensitive to Signals in Packages - Rob
  • Package 3, 5, 10, 13 - in test. LCS' replaced by diff of original vs. changed package
  • Package 9 - needs very small LCS to fix the note identified in the proposal as well as code
  • Package 27 - bit vector reads vs. std_logic_vector reads - Lars?
  • Package 38 - std_logic_1164, ... reads with '_' See LRM p273
    • AI: Lars - write testbench to investigate current behavior of hread for bit_vector, std_logic_vector, unsigned, signed, ufixed, sfixed, and float.
    • Propose adjustment to gain consistency with bit_vector and
    • not move read pointer on failures - ie: try to read 20 characters when there are only 16.
  • Package 29 - not necessarily a must do item. needs to be reviewed before implementation?
• LCS' that need edits or respond to comments
  • LCS-2016-014a Pointers to Composites of Protected Types Jim (or others if you want to help)
  • LCS-2016-019 Inferring Constraints from Initial Values for Signals and Variables - Martin? Ryan?
  • LCS-2016-050 API for Assert Patrick
  • LCS-2016-051 Additional Operators to Integers
  • LCS-2016-060 New Predefined Attributes: 'actual, and 'formal -not clear of value of knowing actual
  • LCS-2016-072a Accessing scalar attributes from within a function - like 060 - not clear the value of knowing actual
  • LCS-2016-061 Conditional compilation
  • LCS-2016-082 Syntax regularization: empty records - needs a way to define a value for a null record which is ?consistent with conditional compilation?
