Yeah.... I mean I get where you're coming from because how often do you have to look at disassembly to debug a C bug? Very rarely.

But that's because the tools debug at the C level. That isn't the case for SV at all - all the tools operate at the SV level.

Unless you're going to create commercial grade simulators, debuggers, synthesis tools etc. then users are going to be debugging SV.

My day job is debugging generated SV and even though it isn't nearly as bad as the code smallpipe posted it still suuucks. It costs me a lot of time reverse engineering it.

If anything is going to replace SV (and I really hope it does) it really really needs to focus on producing clean debuggable output. That includes things like using interfaces, structs and so on.
