I don't see any mention of VHDL-2002 features in the roadmap, it skips right to 2008. In particular, I'm looking for protected types to be implemented. My testbenches use the protected type sturctures and functions to encapsulate data structures and functions similar to C++ classes. If protected types are not currently on the roadmap, it would seem that it will need to be added in order to make GHDL VHDL-2008 compliant. Unfortunately, lack of this feature is a showstopper for me to be able to use GHDL at this time.

Hello,
protected types have been implemented in GHDL for a long time. Just use --std=02 or --std=08

Tristan.
