Re: [Iverilog-devel] Dumping SV structs and viewing them with gktwave

Thanks Steve,

We are definitely going to continue to use iverilog in the class. We will just come up with some work arounds to enable us to gradually leverage SV support in iverilog as it develops.

Thanks for all of your (and the rest of the iverilog contributors) hard work on iverilog -- I am a big fan of using opensource tools in undergraduate education, so it is nice to have access to such a full-featured opensource verilog simulator.

Best,
Chris
