Meeting Discussion
- LaTeX -> use letter, instead of A4
- Peter and Unai commented about the "darft" of Clause 25 VHDPI:
- L299 exports should have the same restrictions as external names with regard to visibility
- L295 Package instances need a generic string for the export name
- L307 * symbol for telling apart functions and pointers to functions
- L308 see section 4.3
- L310-L311 libffi
- L317 conditional compilation
- Discuss about multidimensional arrays, slicing
- Unai argued why accessing multidimensional arrays "per column" or "per row" is relevant for them to be meaningfully different from "arrays of arrays" (in reference to Matlab/Octave or numpy). Need to update the issues on this topic with specific use cases, since some features might already be possible using some supported syntax.
- VHDL-Issues#15
- VHDL-Issues#77
- Discuss about binary files, and the differences between scalars and vectors in GHDL.
- https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/issues/1758
- Should we standardize it and specify that the "optional headers" be written in a sibling file?
