Forum: GHDL VHDL '02

Are there plans to add VHDL 2002 support?  I have some testbench code
that uses the protected types for shared variables.  I suppose it is
somewhat of a large effort, so I'll probably have to re-write things
for '93 for GHDL.  Just curious about the future.

Protected types are already supported.  Be sure to use --std=02.

Doh!  I thought I looked in the manual.  But sure enough, it was
there, and works beautifully!

Thanks,
