<h2>Improvements</h2>

|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
<ul>
|
|
140
|
+
<li>The <tt>bench.rb</tt> and <tt>bench.v</tt> files of a generated test have been eliminated!
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
<p>One important benefit is that the Ruby interface to the Verilog module under test is now a direct reference, whereas previously it was an <em>indirect</em> reference (it pointed to the Verilog module defined in <tt>bench.v</tt>, which in turn wrapped around the actual Verilog module under test).</p>
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
<p>As a result, you can now access the internals of the Verilog module under test by simply calling methods on the Ruby interface, as you would naturally expect to be the case.</p></li>
