Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the February 25 meeting were reviewed. Bob Ross moved to accept.
Mike LaBonte seconded. Without objection the minutes were approved.
ARs:
- Randy Wolff to draft BIRD for BUG207 clarification
- Done
- Mike LaBonte to suggest IBISCHK "orphan" message edits for BUG210
- Done
IBISCHK7 source code license:
Bob Ross reported that a parser payment and other payments were believed to
have been
made but had not been reported by SAE ITC. He will follow up.
New BIRD for BUG207:
Randy Wolff showed a new draft BIRD. He described the changes. Bob Ross said
this
kind of change could apply to other keywords, but he did not suggest looking
into
that at the time. Bob said this would be BIRD203. Mike LaBonte asked if the
same
current/voltage endpoint checks could be performed on Submodels by themselves.
Bob felt no change was needed.
AR: Randy Wolff to submit [Add Submodel] clarification BIRD203.
Better IBISCHK error message for BUG210:
Mike LaBonte showed a document with the differences between the existing
IBISCHK error
message list and a list he had updated. He noted three common classes of
messages
that were using the word "orphan":
1) Where a keyword is recognized but not expected because the currently
effective top
level keyword is not the proper parent keyword.
2) Where a line without a recognized keyword was found, assumed to be a data
line,
and not expected given the current section.
3) Same as #2, but found in a different area of code. Top level keyword might be
unknown.
About half of the 38 proposed messages were reviewed. We decided to remove
"hierarchically" in some places and instead append "-scoped" to the name of the
associated top level keyword. Review to continue next time.
AR: Mike LaBonte to update BUG210 error message edits based on Mar 10 feedback
New IBISCHK bugs:
No new bugs.
IBIS-ISS parser:
No discussion.
Bob Ross moved to adjourn. Randy Wolff seconded. Without objection the meeting
ended.
Meeting ended: 12:02 ET
