I've been fiddling around with updating GHDL to use some newer versions of GCC.
Moving up through the GCC 4.4.x mostly involves adjusting ortho-lang.c and is
pretty simple. I ran into trouble I couldn't figure out when moving to GCC 4.5.
I've
previously posted a patch to ortho-lang.c that compiles with GCC 4.4.5, and
seems
to work as intended. The same patch fails to compile with GCC 4.5.0 due to some
issue with the way GCC handles functions. It took deeper knowledge of GCC than
I
have to figure out and at that point I got sidetracked by other stuff, so I
never
solved the issue. I would like to help with solving it though.
It would also be very nice to have some sort of testing suite, to make sure
that you don't
break anything when hacking around on GHDL.

This would be very nice, it took me a long time to get just a vague idea what
was what
in the GHDL sources.

Agreed.
