There seems to be three groups of changes in this patch file. You're OS-VVM patches, the GCC 4.8.2 patches and other changes. Funny, the weather today pretty much matches that of Dùn Omhain here in the Antipodes (where it's supposed to be summer). Also Nick Gasson has hosted the Philip Wilsey's VHDL tESTs (VESTs) on github) and reported -r150 ghdl passed 3558 of the 3759 no error (analyze) tests with 201 failures. There are tests that are supposed to fail during elaboration or simulation not included in those numbers. I think I saw something that would knock at least one of those failures out in your patch. See https://github.com/nickg/vests (and this is a case of having to know the path). GPLv2 which is why they're in a separate repository. Nicks script for running the analyze VESTs against ghdl: https://github.com/nickg/nvc/blob/e874111ab5a5fe9d0cbbc80e6caf801473297c12/test/run_vests.rb I'm not interested in getting stuck chasing gcc releases but could be persuaded to work on VHDL language compliance issues and testing. I spent a week or so screening ghdl bug reports and trimming them down, added a few more. (VHDL Lawyering when done properly is labor intensive, too bad we don't get paid like lawyers). After suitable testing I could probably manage to enter the current spate of patches into the gna ghdl archive, although I think it may be time to host a branch somewhere else. Hence the interest in change logs. _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list Ghdl-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
