Ernie's updates -
Syntax.asc - line 87, also line 189: entry actions were not symmetrical with the
exit ports - so changed the ports section to a similar
syntax.
Jim O - a question
about the Defaults file - would this be in a default location? Ernie - STIL
might define some defaults, but they can be locally customizable - inline in the
STIL file. Jim O/Don: should there be site-specific, or user-specific locations
for defaults (ala X11 or Html/CSS?). Perhaps the particular semantics should
wait until we have some user-experience. Ernie - C/C++ has #include search
paths, but STIL doesn't really define this. Ernie - the granularity as to what
could be defined in a Defaults block, or what can be undefined (reset to the
original default - or have the default removed altogether) would need further
work. Jim O - VHDL has some package interfaces - perhaps there are some ideas
there we should consider. Don: at this point I don't really agree that default
solves a real problem. Jim M: need to consider porting from one tester to
another - different defaults could change the program's
meaning.
Looking at Jim
Mosley's Feb 10th Syntax Example. Ernie - I normally associate the binning with
the Test. Jim normally associates the binning with the FlowNode, so that he can
reuse the test. Depends on whether you associate the binning with where you are
in the test flow - or with the test.
Regarding BinMaps:
Ernie - pass-bins often have a multiple axis - (such as for speed and power),
while the failing binmap only has a single axis.
