Roadmap

GHDL Roadmap

This is a yet unordered list of ideas to be implemented

• VHDL 2008. Improve support for VHDL 2008 standard. This is a large topic, and is subdivided in that page [RoadMap2008].
• CLI during simulation: allow interaction during simulation.
• Static elaboration. The idea is to compute the design hierarchy before generating the code. This opens the way to new optimisations.
• Debugger / use of gdb. Currently debugging could be done at C level, which isn't very convenient.
• AMS VHDL. Effort has already started, but I think the use of LLVM is a requirement. Low priority
• VHDL2XML tool.
• Improve integration between ghdl and gtkwave

Additions and comments are welcome.
