RE: [dita-sidsc] Follow-up: handling multiple instances/instanceBase

["Ratliff Alan-R68672" <alan.ratliff@freescale.com>]

Thanks for the great work, Seth.

Your proposal makes sense, but looking at slides 7 &8, regarding the "instanceOffset" variable...

 

To me it makes more sense to talk about an "instanceBase" instead of an "instanceOffset" variable.   At least I don't think about component instances being placed in the system memory map relative to each other.   This approach would also resolve your questions at the bottom of slide 8.  Of course it might break other things, but this is my perspective.

 

In general, I see needing to use an instance container (even if we have just one instance of the component) to inform processing and to populate variables inside the generic component model.

 

Thanks again.

-Alan

Just a friendly reminder to review the proposed changes for multiple instances of registers and components: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-sidsc/download.php/32714/usecases-dimensions.ppt

 

If it's unclear, we might want to schedule a brief interim call so that the official call is productive.
