| Description |
The data structure passed to vpi_get_cb_info() is allocated by the user. This is specified. However, there are several pointers in this structure which are populated by the simulator, and these structures are owned by the simulator and need to be saved by the application before another call to vpi_get_cb_info() is made. |
| Fix |
Modify the following paragraph: The VPI routine vpi_get_cb_info() shall return information about a simulation-related callback in an s_cb_data structure. The memory for this structure shall be allocated by the user. To: The VPI routine vpi_get_cb_info() shall return information about a simulation-related callback in an s_cb_data structure. The memory for this structure shall be allocated by the user. This structure contains several pointers. The data to which these pointers point is owned by the simulator. The applications should copy any of this information if necessary prior to returning control to the simulator. |
