Re: [Gtkwave-users] GHW file format

[<by...@nc...>]

What do you plan on using another file format for?  If it's for VHDL sim, I'd say go with GHW however Tristan mentioned to me a while back that he was thinking of coming up with another format that would address some shortcomings in GHW.  The only writer he has is written in Ada, if I remember correctly.

If what you need is for Verilog sim, use FST as it's the most scalable for large traces/designs.  Note that it does support the value set for VHDL, however doesn't currently have the VHDL datatypes.
