OK. Now I understand what you meant about special names. > Maybe there is even some nice character that cannot end up in name collision > with a possible signal name in vhdl. Collision could be a problem, but one could perhaps use escaped identifiers as there is no such thing in VHDL (as far as I know). Or one could provide a metafile generated by the simulator or other tool which describes the bundles which is read by the waveform tool to display the bundles. BTW are there any open waveform formats similar to the the vendor specific formats like SST, TRN, VPD, etc. which allow for more datatypes, fast indexing, and compression? //Petter _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
