While ctags has the option to use regex to parse the source files, it is not what is being used for the vhdl module of ctags. The regex is only brought into the equation when the tags file is written for vhdl. Ok. Thank you for digging that. But note that the parser doesn't deal with

GHDL has that capability (although this is not fully implemented). Possibly by operating on the ortho format, as saved by BE=debug and read by oread-gcc? No, no need to go that far. You can analyse the sources without generating any code. This is used by 'ghdl' (the executable) for many

While ctags has the option to use regex to parse the source files, it is not what is being used for the vhdl module of ctags. The regex is only brought into the equation when the tags file is written for vhdl. A solution involving ctags would require at least a partial re-parse and rewrite of the

I'm a C programmer looking for a good project; I'm on board. If you are interested in ctags for vhdl (not a big project), you can write down how the ctags would look for a vhdl unit and I can implement the writer part. That opens many paths for reader tools. I think there isn't any good

Hi, I everyone, i'm student in a electronic engineering school in France and i would like to know if people are interested to build an Eclipse-like interface for GHDL which will include a View for GTKWave. I think it can be very useful for every students (and others) to have a good VHDL
