Actually, James was only quoting my original mail, which included this
change,
<br>which was omitted. As I wrote, Steven Sharp and I have now
realized that input terms
<br>can be any arbitrary valid expression.
<p>What I would like to add is a comment that input_terms and output_terms
are vectors
<br>whose width corresponds to the number of input bits and output bits
of the PLA,
<br>similar to the explanation of the memory dimensions in 17.5.3.
<p>The change in the syntax for input_terms and output_terms from a concatentation
of scalar
<br>variables to simply "expression" and "regl_value", respectively,
tends to hide the fact that
<br>these are vectors and not scalars.

<br>20 Dec 1999
<p>(Draft 4 page 299, section 17.5)
<p>PROPOSED CHANGE:
<br>Add the sentence: "Note that the input terms may be nets or variables
<br>whereas the output terms must be variables." after syntax box 17-9.
In the last mails on the subject, we recognized that input terms may be
any
<br>expression, including constants, function calls, operators, etc.
