IBISCHK7.0.2 development:
Bob said we were close to creating a development contract document. Mike
LaBonte asked
if we would fix BUG202.
Mike showed BUG202 and gave an overview. He wondered if ibischk could handle the
error more gracefully, possibly by catching a signal when a dynamic model load
fails.
He asked if we should mark it WON'T FIX if not. Bob Ross agreed we might not
fix
it. He said we might compile an ibischk on an older Linux to make it compatible,
but he felt that there should be a cutoff where we consider support deprecated.
Mike said compiling on an older Linux would not help, because the problem was
between
the model maker's Linux and the user's Linux, not the Linux used to compile
IBISCHK.
Randy Wolff agreed we should not fix it. Mike noted that in the case where
IBISCHK
fails, the model could not be simulated either. All agreed to propose
reclassifification
of the bug as WON'T FIX at the next Open Forum meeting.
We reviewed other open IBISCHK bugs. Mike asked if we should wait. Bob said
BUG213
compelled a fix soon. Randy noted that we want to have a clean IBISCHK7 ahead
of IBIS 7.1,
but he agreed that BUG213 should be fixed. All agreed that BUG213 prevented
valid models
from being passed, and that BUG202 would not be fixed.
Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
- IBIS-ISS parser
Bob Ross moved to adjourn. Randy Wolff seconded. Without objection the meeting
ended.
Meeting ended: 11:33 ET
