     should be allocated by simulator

     Maybe I misunderstood.
     
     As written,
     
     "The cb_rtn field of the s_cb_data structure shall be set to the application
     routine, which shall be invoked when the simulator executes the callback,"
     
     it is equivalent to saying,
     
     "The cb_rtn field of the s_cb_data structure shall be set to the application
     routine.
     The application routine shall be invoked when the simulator executes the
     callback."
     
     Is that the intent?
     
     When reading it, I thought the intent was to state which application routine
     cb_rtn should point to.
