Dear colleagues,
As you will recall from discussion on this list, the outcome of the
previous vote on whether to adopt SUAVE or Objective VHDL was somewhat
ambiguous. At the recent Working Group meeting, a new vote was called
for
to resolve the question.
I therefore put the question:
Which strawman should be adopted as the basis for work towards
a standard:
____ SUAVE
____ Objective-VHDL
When considering the question, please bear in mind that the selected
proposal will serve as the starting point for the Working Group to
develop
a Trial Use standard. The Working Group may choose to add features not
included in the adopted proposal. For example, should SUAVE be adopted,
entity/architecture inheritance may be added. Alternatively, should
Objective VHDL be adopted, type-genericity may be added.
I remind you of the Review Panel's findings and recommendation, which
can
be found at:

Please vote by email to me (petera@cs.adelaide.edu.au) or to Wolfgang
(nebel@offis.de) by 5pm US-PDT, Friday 7 July 2000.
The formal vote is limited to members of DASC or IEEE Standards
Association. Please indicate whether you are a member of either. We
will
also tally an informal vote of members of the oovhdl@eda.org list, so
please vote even if you aren't a DASC or IEEE-SA member. Thanks.
Cheers,
PA
