gEDA-user: Force/Release

[Russell Vickers <russellv@praesum.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there has come across a fix for hierarchical 
force and release in Icarus. I am seeing a similar problem as documented in 
the bug database.

I have quiet a few signals in the testbench that are controlled via force 
and release, and it would be quiet extensive to change it, and wire up and 
control these signals. What I see when I do the force is that values that I 
set on the nets afterward are not getting updated.


	force test_env_struct.log_tlnk_d			= lnk_d;

	lnk_d			<= 1;    // value does not change in this case

	release test_env_struct.log_tlnk_d;

Thanks,
Russell
