I don't find Ada to be the biggest hurdle. This tutorial helped me quite a
bit, it starts from Adam and Eve and goes from there.

I find that the biggest problem I've had in contributing to GHDL
developement is that I dont know where to start
reading the code. That and lack of time.  :-(

As Brian said, if anyone has any pointers on where to start please say.

Kevin

 Is Ada a real barrier ?  VHDL looks like Ada so I thought any VHDL
writers should be able to understand Ada.  I try to avoid most of Ada
advanced features.

That said, I understand that GHDL is not a small program and it might be
difficult to understand it.

Comments are welcome as the real weakness of GHDL is the lack of contributors.


I would love to try to help in my spare time.

Ada is not a strong suit by any means, but, as you said, should be
easy enough to figure out.  The biggest hurdle I have is, as you said,
GHDL is not a small program.  Moreover, I have absolutely no
experience with GCC other than using it.

With that being said, what should I read/try to understand first?  Pointers?

Thanks,
Brian
