This patch documents that the lxt2/lx2 dumper supports -speed and
-space options. It adds -speed, -space, -space-speed and
-speed-space options for the fst dumper. Here are results for a
gate level back annotated design using the fst dumper.
<none> 12.88 seconds 3.5 Meg dump file.
-space 12.89 seconds 2.9 Meg dump file.
-speed 12.36 seconds 4.6 Meg dump file.
-<both> 12.84 seconds 3.2 Meg dump file.
This patch is a slight modification to files Tony Bybell (the author of
GTKWave) send to me. We still have a few more changes we plan to make,
but this should be functional enough for initial testing. Multi-treading
and speed/size flags will be added shortly.
Try to put all the version stamps into common version_base.h
and version_stamp.h header files. All the source programs then
get their version from these header files.
Also handle the version stamps in the man pages by using the
version_*.h header file contents to edit the version strings
in the man page title bar markers.
