BTF Draft 4 - Requested Change

From: Steven Sharp (sharp@cadence.com)
Date: Thu Feb 10 2000 - 17:42:37 PST


Draft 4 page 157, 10.3.5, bullet 7 after paragraph 1

WAS:

-- They shall not use any parameter value that is affected directly or
   indirectly by a defparam statement (see 12.2.1).

PROPOSED IS:

-- If they use any parameter value that is affected directly or indirectly
   by a defparam statement (see 12.2.1), the result is undefined. This may
   produce an error, or the constant function may return an indeterminate
   value.

<p>PROPOSED CHANGE:
Remove the burden for elaborators to check for this problematic situation,
while still making it clear that it is not legal. This was suggested by
Stuart Sutherland and approved by the BTF. Since this makes this particular
bullet item different from the others, it should be moved to the end of the
list of bullets as well.
