Forum: GHDL Viewing value of state in gtkwave

Hy

I saw that the same question was already wrote in june 2008 (
https://mail.gna.org/public/ghdl-discuss/2008-06/msg00039.html) but I 
re-ask
it because I don't know if it was implemented since.

It can be really useful to see the value of enumerate type like state of 
a
state machine in GTKWave viewer, do you know if this feature is planned 
to
be integrated in ghdl ?

I'm using ghdl v0.25 (ubuntu 8.04) and this feature is not implemented. 
I
don't see anything in changelog (http://ghdl.free.fr/NEWS).

Thanks,

You can use the GHW file format supported by Gtkwave instead of VCD

If you want absolutely use VCD, I made conclusive tests to generate VCD
with enumeration values with GHDL.
If I have time I will package the patch tonight and share it.

That work well. Thank you very much !
