[Iverilog-devel] The mostly monochromatic bug database and renaming reports.

[Cary R. <cy...@ya...>]

The bug database is not truly monochromatic, but there is not much dynamic
range either. Does it make sense to expand the range a bit to help
determine what is important? Something like the following:

7 - an invalid result without a warning that cannot be worked around.

6 - an invalid result without a warning, but it can be worked around or a
program crash that is preventing someone for using Icarus.

5 - the catch all and where everything starts.

4 - functionality that is missing from Icarus, but is not currently needed
or can be worked around with code changes.

3 - minor issues like invalid warnings or missing warnings.


There are also a number of bug reports that could be renamed to more
closely reflect the problem they are reporting. Doing this would make it
easier for someone looking at the bug database to determine what the
problems actually are instead of having to read the comments attached to
the individual reports. So would this be useful, is this something we want
to do?
