ISSUE 646

Number 646
Category errata
Synopsis "initial" and "always" "constructs"
State etfpassed
Class errata-simple
Arrival-DateDec 27 2004
Originator Shalom.Bresticker@freescale.com
Release 2001b
Description
The "initial" and "always" constructs are called "constructs" in the BNF:

"initial_construct" and "always_construct".

However, in the text, they have various names:

initial construct
initial procedural block
initial block
initial statement

etc.


This becomes confusing and misleading.

Since the places where these are officially defined (BNF, 9.9.1, 9.9.2)
call these "constructs", this is the term which should be consistently
used, even if we are used to calling them 'blocks' or something else.

Shalom
