Issue 18543: vsip_dsvd_getattr_p missing (vsiplxx-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: In VSIPL 1.3 (VSIPL before OMG) there is a get attribute function defined for SVD's. The function definition seems to be missing from VSIPL 1.4 (although the function is mentioned throughout the spec). This appears to be an editing omission during translation of 1.3 to 1.4.

Dear colleagues,


A little while ago Randy reviewed the VSIPL 1.4 specification, and found
a missing section. The details are captured in issue 18543:
http://omg.org/issues/vsiplxx-rtf.open.html#Issue18543
This was a simple omission from me translating the old MS Word-based
spec into DocBook, and is thus easy to fix, which I just did.


Here are the steps I followed (I should probably also document this
process on our portal):


1) I created an issue in the vsip project on github.com:
https://github.com/vsip/specs/issues/1
2) I filled in the missing bits:
https://github.com/vsip/specs/commit/408706abdaeefb3738f002debfc8ca3b1f6c565a
    (I marked the added section with 'revisionflag="added"', to allow it
to be marked up with change-marks in the generated output. Once we
submit new versions of the spec at the end of the RTF, we'll need to
include both, documents with change-marks, as well as documents without,
so keeping these markers in until then is very important.)


3) I regenerated HTML output and uploaded it to our portal:
http://portals.omg.org/hpec/files/specs/drafts/vsipl/linalg.xhtml#dsvd_getattr


As you can see, the process is straight-forward (once you have the right
tools and have done it at least once), so I encourage you all to get
involved to allow us to make progress as fast as possible.


Of course, quite a few of the issues at
http://omg.org/issues/vsiplxx-rtf.open.html will actually require some
discussion, which I expect is where our main effort will need to go.
Hopefully we can talk a little more about that in our upcoming HPEC WG
call on June 18.


Thanks,
        Stefan
