Shared Variable WG (IEEE PAR 1076a) Home Page
Group Objectives:
The charter of the group is to amend VHDL (IEEE Std 1076.1-1993) in the area of
Shared Variables. The purpose of the amendment is to provide additional
syntax and semantics for the declaration and use of this new language
construct to ensure portability across various vendor implementations
and platforms and to maintain the concurrent nature of the language by
specifying mutually exclusive access semantics for Shared Variables.
Activities and Achievements:
- Requirements gathering, analysis and prioritization has been completed.
- Amended language design is in process.
- On approval of the amended language design, a formal standard amendment
will be drafted and distributed for balloting. Upon approval, the IEEE
1076-1993 standard will be formally revised/superceded.
All documents of the working group as well as the results of Working Group
votes are available by request from the Working Group Chair.
