    Subject: errata/518: PROPOSAL - Modifying vpi_get_time description
    Date: Tue, 04 May 2004 09:48:18 -0700

     There was a question as to whether vpi_get_time would return the
     time of a scheduled event if provided with an object of type
     vpiTimeQueue. The answer is yes, and the LRM currently describes
     this in section 26.4 Table 210 where it describes vpi_get_time as
     follows:
     
        Find the current simulation time or the scheduled time
        of future events
     
     The vpi_get_time description does not include any reference to what
     is returned when the 'obj' is a time queue object. Thus, I propose the
     following change in the description.
     
     FROM:
     
        The VPI routine vpi_get_time() shall retrieve the current simulation
     time,
        using the time scale of the object. If obj is NULL, the simulation
     time is
        retrieved using the simulation time unit. The time_p->type ...
