I will have a closer look at it later. Thanks. I'm a bit puzzled that all of you tend to choose C/C++ for implementing your tools. Netlisters are expected to be extendable by their end users but such a low level implementation language together with a build environment is a significant obstacle to it. It is not a theoretical dispute - I've been trying to extend Anthony's spnet and I soon got tired of doing text processing in C. Please treat this as my private suggestion only: would you or Anthony consider rewriting your tool in Perl, Python or some other major scripting language? So far only gnetlist tries to employ some higher level language (guile) for processing the netlist but it suffers form other problems (guile itself is not very mature and gnetlist architecture is hardcoded in C, which is why it is so hard to add the hierarchy support to it).
