From: Steven Sharp (sharp@cadence.com)
Date: Sun Jul 21 2002 - 14:24:00 PDT


Precedence: bulk

Problem Report 43

difficulty: easy
location: Syntax 2-5 and Syntax 13-2
subject: Typos in syntax boxes
recommendation: Fix as suggested

Problem Report 44

difficulty: easy
location: example in Section 4.4.3
subject: Misleading comment
recommendation: Change 96 in comment to 'h96 or "96 hexadecimal" or something
  else that indicates that the value is in hexadecimal, not decimal

Problem Report 45

difficulty: easy
location: example in Section 4.5
subject: Incorrect comment
recommendation: Change value in comment to 8'b11111100, OR
  for more useful example, change statement to regA = $unsigned(-4'sd4)
  and value in comment to 8'b00001100.

Problem Report 46

difficulty: easy
location: example in Section 4.5
subject: example may be improved
recommendation: see second option for Problem Report 45

Problem Report 47

difficulty: hard
location: Section 3.7.4, Table 6 and Table 7
subject: Wrong description of tri0/1 in 3.7.4
discussion: http://boydtechinc.com/btf/archive/btf_2001/1585.html
recommendation: Shalom's suggested changes from the discussion are probably
  not adequate. They remove all mention of the possibility of other drivers
  on the net, which is even more misleading. New text is probably needed.
  

Problem Report 48

difficulty: hard
location: Section 6.1.3
subject: wire delays and continuous assigns
discussion: http://www.boydtechinc.com/btf/archive/btf_2001/1587.html
recommendation: This needs some work on wording.

Problem Report 49

difficulty: easy
location: Section 4.4.3
subject: incorrect output in example
discussion: http://boydtechinc.com/btf/archive/btf_1999/0694.html
  where I reported this same issue in item 4. Only the comment got changed.
recommendation: change value to ac61 or size of c to 6 bits

Problem Report 50

difficulty: easy
location: Section 19.5 (and Section 19.7)
subject: descriptions of `include
recommendation: Take Shalom's suggestions, though we have to decide on
  whether to use "include files" or "included files".
