Hi all,

I have been working for a while on the Verilator compiler to add support of VHDL93 (to begin), some things are supported but it's not ready for serious use yet...

You will find the current development status here :
https://github.com/sebx86/VerilatorVHDL

Current development limitations:
- One VHDL file (1 entity, 1 architecture only)
- If not totally supported yet
- No clocked process
- No select
- No for
- No case
- No functions/sub
- No instanciation

I hope to solve all those issues to go back mainstream for end of december...

I also plan to support custom types and records in the beginning of next year.

Definitive limitations:
- Synthesizable constructs only
- Cycle accurate models (RTL, no delay statements)
- Wait statement not supported

Any feedback is welcome.

This is very welcome news. There aren't very many free VHDL tools available. Keep up the good work! I will give it a try when I have time
