page 80 Flavor Macros

I think we also need

HDL_STATIC_NUMBER_EXPR and HDL_STATIC_BOOLEAN_EXPR

(see comments on page 85)

page 82 line 48

Box 64 on page 64 has ValueRange ::= Value | finite_range

and I think the Value is needed here (if not, it doesn't
appear in any other production and should be removed on page 85).

page 85 line 12

I think we have to have

Value ::= Static_boolean | Number

and then

Static_boolean ::= HDL_STATIC_BOOLEAN_EXPR

Number ::= HDL_STATIC_NUMBER_EXPR

page 88 line 39.

The semantics of a Sugar formula is defined with respect to a model.

I think we should have a paragraph specifying how a model defined as a
transition systme like this is derived from the HDL (or at least, from
the model in terms of flip-flops and latches that is obtained from
the combination of synthesizable HDL for the design and the Sugar
modelling code).

I will try to draft such a paragraph before the next meeting.

Anthony
