Subject: Vera Really Needs A Better Debugger And Mulit-Dimensional Arrays
Hi John, please keep me anonymous.
I'm a happy Vera user but I have 3 big complaints:
1. The language doesn't support multi-dimensional arrays. This has huge
implications on how one can code a testbench.
2. While Synopsys has just released a new Vera debugger, it still needs
a lot of work. What made them decide to release the debugger with a
Windows sytle interface is beyond me. The debugger window doesn't seem
to behave like a normal X window and can be very frustrating. I really
hope they release a native UNIX version soon.
3. The Vera compiler messages have very little information content and
usually only the first message is valid.
I, too, would like to see more technical Vera discussion on ESNUG.
