Sigasi 2.23

Released on 2014-07-29

The Sigasi 2.23 release introduces basic datatype checking at type-time for VHDL; improved Verilog support; and much more.

Basic datatype checking at type-time for VHDL

Sigasi now reports datatype violations while you type (at type-time). You don’t have to wait for your simulator to report datatype errors. Whenever you write a wrong datatype, you see an error message within less than a second! Screencast : Datatype checks while you type

Type time type validation

Improved Verilog support

We are accelerating our development of the Verilog version:

  • Open Module Declaration by CTRL+clicking on instantiation
  • Hover on module name to see the inline documentation
