Re: [Iverilog-devel] Why use SFT files?

[Stephen W. <st...@ic...>]

Because the .sft has some specificity that the .vpi does not have?
Also, to read the .vpi file, you need to dynamically link it in so
that you can read the tables. The ivl program currently does not need
to load .vpi files, it can use the .sft files instead.

That may be obsolete thinking, though...
