All:
The parser developer asked a question for ibischk5, Version 5.1.0 under
development:
"Currently there are no checks on Model_Specific branch/parameter names
being unique. Specifically, the parser will allow a duplicate Tap parameter
name to be specified. The spec does not say anything about this either."
What should we do?
1. No checks since nothing is specified.
2.Warning if any parameter and/or branch is duplicated
(e.g.,
Tap parameter name 1 and branch 1,
or Tap parameter name 1 repeated
or branch name 1 repeated)
in the Model_Specific section regardless of hierarchy.
Note, the Tap parameter is used as an example, but
the checks would apply to any set of branch/parameter names
3. Warning if parameter names are repeated
Distinct Warning if branch names are repeated.
So branch names can be the same as parameter names
as long as branch names are checked separately from
parameter names. So 1 is allowed as a Tap parameter
name and also as a branch name.
4. Warning if a parameter is repeated only in the same branch
hierarchy, and if a branch name is repeated within the same
sub-hierarchy - e.g., a bank of distinctly named Tap parameters
under branch 1 and a similar set of names under branch 2 are
permitted.
5. Any other rule.
I favor rule 2 or 3 to keep the check simple.
Advice?
Bob
