Hello IBIS experts,

I got an AR in the last IBIS Open Forum teleconference
to have one of our code developers verify that the
name change of row_size to number_of_rows will not
break existing AMI models. Here is what I got back
from Vladimir:

Arpad,

The names of the arguments can be completely omitted. I replaced
(1) with (2), rebuilt the Tx DLL, ran simulation and got the same
results.

Vladimir

(1) function description with argument names

IBIS_AMI long AMI_Init( double *impulse_matrix,
                            long row_size,
                            long aggressors,
                            double sample_interval,
                            double bit_time,
                            char *AMI_dll_parameters_in,
                            char **AMI_dll_parameters_out,
                            void **AMI_dll_memory_handle,
                            char **msg );

(2) type placeholders only

IBIS_AMI long AMI_Init( double *,
                            long,
                            long,
                            double,
                            double,
                            char *,
                            char **,
                            void **,
                            char **);

According to this, the changes in the specification will not
have an effect on existing models. Please let me know if
there are any other questions about this.

Thanks,

Arpad
