-- Description: VPI interface for GRT runtime
--              the main purpose of this code is to interface with the
--              Icarus Verilog Interactive (IVI) simulator GUI

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- TODO:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- DONE:
-- * The GHDL VPI implementation doesn't support time
--   callbacks (cbReadOnlySynch). This is needed to support
--   IVI run. Currently, the GHDL simulation runs until
--   complete once a single 'run' is performed...
-- * You are loading '_'-prefixed symbols when you
--   load the vpi plugin. On Linux, there is no leading
--   '_'. I just added code to try both '_'-prefixed and
--   non-'_'-prefixed symbols. I have placed the changed
--   file in the same download dir as the snapshot
-- * I did find out why restart doesn't work for GHDL.
--   You are passing back the leaf name of signals when the
--   FullName is requested.
