[1]: http://tinyurl.com/pafyvj7 GTKwave does not read HDF5 files (but many other data analysis tools do). There is, of course, a C language API to the HDF5 libraries but [Ada language bindings][2] haven't really materialized yet. [2]: http://tinyurl.com/cawqwdh Needless to say, extending GHDL and GTKwave with HDF5 support would be a significant engineering project but the possibility of having richly-typed, self-describing data structures in a portable, high-performance file format is intriguing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (OpenBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTCSR8AAoJEGUApdpiqr3g4VwQAM5OA65ZSDxrWRWv32F/0sMo JIJHp+GFigPprAlaNgTXz4MgrRQGW8FuOB1vOuuWNey9+XCrBqcFppn2d3ZLnGEa 7a0JKNWViLS3FiyNXW/RMYkN5vX/Z8HlamVQAO2bOIrPC6Ol/2YpLmRGmbYEIJWm k0x6zrRMVgRHJQdjVZqppCEF3m/s4YZRQuxJYkGyH/fXkRM6T1T6Ijm3Hz/CSRtV iw0WHbR2MFdS7hQ9CrFtpMgDvE/bldNF8K1z/4L7+iX1X6ZjpOA1Mi/z2gaD8tOg pCQWKspIK/Ck5ZlWkatHA3AX/FYADOb0XwQrgHfgB6MrMQFVhwnbgDGEF7+3eKTj XpxxrhliWgVGaYxluikmIGF+kN00CIAQ2ec+SHAdMDX1yt8276BcNwLqAMKjbE+2 HPIGMXwtQwdpYjWLXHr6YIDFun9y/fCkY13Z6yTqqVRIMipsOfd3RhSi7BEu4QcD ULdbP4nfZI6FDlh5HR9H0NwAMZH3F7hjzzgWpwLHEtRwcXMHa+p7+UjETwJ1Ihst UTqfvjHHeC4e3ofq95GnY8Qwbh2YAjSWea7hZwLc22SHQFPpItQHwimJDq9k37oo VxznuIxL3hnWRj0eXyAZKDgHwq4T9SczAxxivD9f9RZvgB48ZlMDAQef8wJrq3Vn lFJtnLauoZROjqXZe5Pm =n7D9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
