Re: [myhdl-list] Dynamic data type

[Christopher F. <cf...@uc...>]

MyHDL will only convert intbv (maybe others?) data types currently. 
 It wouldn't support what you are suggesting.

There seems to be 2 different methods in your comments,
   1. Implementing support in MyHDL to handle complex data types
   2. Building models for the different complex data types.

I believe from previous posts method 1 was encouraged to be a separate 
tool that utilizes MyHDL but not built into MyHDL, leaving MyHDL as an 
RTL language.  Method 2 would be a collections of floating-point 
modules etc implemented in MyHDL.
