These are my opinions on the list Kurt submitted of enhancement requests which
might properly be within the scope of the datatypes group.
ISSUE
# Synopsis
----------------------------
2 Allow negative genvars
No, already dealt with in generate proposal (#113)
4 Allow assignment to an array
Yes, within context of generalizing assignments to new data types
55 allow arrays and reals as ports
Yes, within context of generalizing ports to new data types
58 allow force on memory word or bit-/part-select of vector variable
Yes, within context of generalizing forces and procedural continuous assignments
to new data types. Related to #4.
61 add enumerated data type
62 add record/structure data type
Obviously
183 allow reverse part-select [lsb:msb]
No. Independent of data type.
191 Add localparam to ANSI-type param list
No, unless there are going to be significant extensions to parameters
293 variable width floating point in Verilog 200X
Yes
297 Allow instance array connected to data array
No. It seems to be independent of the datatype. As long as an array select is
legal to connect to a port, and it already is, the form of instance arrays will
work for all legal port types. Defining the legal port types is orthogonal to
the form of instantiating instance arrays.
298 Add field widths to print formats
No, this is specific for printing integral data types.
It is orthogonal to data type enhancements.
357 Proposal for Extending Verilog Data Types
Obviously.
384 add mfactor parameters
No.
385 interconnect net that resolves to type
Yes, but need more information.
389 dynamic param
Yes, but need more information.
390 math functions
No, this is not related to new datatypes.
391 wreal type
Yes, but already covered by Cadence proposal.
400 reduce arithmetic operators x-pessimism
401 reduce relational operators x-pessimism
No, these 2 do not relate to new datatypes.
404 add wildcards for equality operators
405 add ranges for equality operators
406 add lists for equality operators
These 3, no.
409 lists in part-selects
No. Not related.
411 extend operators to vectors and arrays
Yes.
414 rotate operator
No.
419 reconsider for 1364-2005 proposals made for 1364-2001
No, let Priorities group look through them and find what is appropriate for
datatypes, if any.
450 Compressed Assignment Satements
No.
474 First class part selection operator
No.
478 Provide part selection of a structure
Yes.
498 system function/task to extract timescale info to variables
No.
502 Dynamic Values on attributes
No.
508 add arrays of `defines
509 add arrays of parameters
No.
514 config file should support module and primitive arrays
No, this is for a configuration group.
519 system function to get signal strength
No.
520 3.3.2: deprecate "scalared" and "vectored" keywords
No.
532 new, binary dump format in addition to vcd
No.
537 allow unsized numbers and integer variables in concatenations
No.
545 4.2.1, 4.2.2: out of bounds addressing
No.
547 define size zero replication constant
No.
573 loops within concatenations?
No.
