Re: [oc] Anybody prefer C to VHDL?

[Nanda <nanda@cdotb.ernet.in>]

celoxica is a good tool but it has a mjor drawback(atleast in my use).it
gives out a edif netlist which i use for place and route and if i face any
timing violation or problem i can't trace back to the source code which
created that violation.BUt if the goal is to write models or if clock
speed is not very critical then celoxica looks to be a good alternative to
HDL.
