| Description |
The following sentence: The string shall be placed in a temporary buffer that shall be used by every call to this routine. seems to me to be implementation specific, and too restrictive. The point we were trying to make was satisfied by the next sentence: If the string is to be used after a subsequent call, the string should be copied to another location. There are situations where it may make sense not to copy into a buffer. Also, it adds some confusion. Is there only one buffer any time a string is returned? Thus we had to add the sentence: Note that a different string buffer shall be used for string values returned through the s_vpi_value structure. It seems to me we should make this simpler. |
