So .. here's a question ... Gnucap has some extensions beyond Spice for behavioral modeling. These made sense when they were done, but are now hopelessly obsolete and non-standard. The functionalty and more is available in Verilog-AMS. When Verilog works, should I remove the extensions? My feeling is "yes", unless they are there for compatibility with some commercial version of Spice, which is usually HSPICE. The semiconductor industry thinks of HSPICE, not Berkeley 3f5, as the standard.
Well, I think that if your extensions are a superset of SPICE (and not a change), then leave them in. You never know how many users are reliant upon your extensions until you remove them. Then you'll have crowds of angry users e-mailing you about their missing extensions. OTOH, it doesn't hurt anything to leave them in. As for gnucap's Verilog-AMS ability, I was wondering how you plan on handling the ability to read/handle the new file format? Can you mix Verilog-AMS and SPICE together in the same file? Or are Verilog-AMS and SPICE files incompatible? Stuart _______________________________________________ Gnucap-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucap-devel
