Hi Bob,
In addition to what Walter quoted, the 5.1 spec says "AMI parameters are
themselves branches ...". Thus I think your option 4 is the right one. You may
look at it as follows: if two names (somewhere) are identical but the paths to
them are different then the composite names are different. This is legal in the
current text and that's why I would not vote for 2 (if I understand your
example correctly). Furthermore, a check for option 4 is equally simple.
The only aspect of this issue that is not explicitly stated is that any branch
name directly under the Model_Specific branch must be different from any
pre-defined reserved parameter name. This, however, is implicit in the concept
of a reserved name itself.
The only other question I have is why this (option 4) should not be an error
rather than a warning.

Bob,
IBIS 5.1 is clear on this:
"Branches may define AMI Parameters and/or other branches. A branch which
contains one or more sub-branches may only contain the (Description
<string>) leaf in addition to the sub-branches. Each sub-branch of a branch
must have a unique name."
So I vote for 2.
Walter

Subject: [ibis-macro] ibischk5, Version 5.1.0 Under Development Question
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
