 In your top level C code, call Verilated::traceEverOn(true).  Then create a
 SpTraceVcdC object, and in your main loop call "trace_object->dump(time)"
 every time step, and finally call "trace_object->close()".  For an example,

 You also need to compile SpTraceVcdC.cpp and add it to your link.  This is
 done for you if using the Verilator --exe flag.

 Add the --trace switch to Verilator, and make sure the SystemPerl package
 is installed.

 Alternatively you may use the C++ trace mechanism described in the previous
 question, however the timescale and timeprecision will not inherited from
 your SystemC settings.

 =item How do I view waveforms (traces)?
 
 Verilator makes standard VCD (Value Change Dump) files.  They are viewable
