The problem is .. "which Spice". They are all a little different. Gnucap syntax is closest to 2g6 and HSPICE. It is as close to any as they are to each other, but not an exact match for any. Verilog-AMS has an official standards document, which defines things like this. After the move, whether I like it or not, this is the way it will be. 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. _______________________________________________ Gnucap-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucap-devel
