There is definite intent there. Given the nature of the project, timescale is less certain! Mcode versions compile and install the IEEE 2008 standard libraries, while the gcc builds don't yet. (Fixing that might be within my reach). And having got ghdl to run the OSVVM demo (in 2002 mode) last April, the OSVVM libraries have moved on, so that no longer works. So I would like to see enough VHDL-2008 support to run OSVVM. Your support requests on gna.org are also noted. Supporting block comments for example would be easy. But IMO block comments are broken; the standard copied the C way when a much more robust, less bug-prone style, well proven in Modula-2, would have been trivial. I wonder if it's worth raising this on P.1076. Can you pinpoint a specific set of VHDL-2008 features you need? - Brian _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
