So, the author of GHDL, Tristan Gingold, implemented an alternative format named GHW, for allowing all VHDL types to be
dumped.
He also contributed a reader to GTKWave based on libghw (see `gtkwave/gtkwave/search?q=libghw <https://github.com/gtkwave/gtkwave/search?q=libghw>`__ and `gtkwave/gtkwave: gtkwave3/src/ghw.c <https://github.com/gtkwave/gtkwave/blob/master/gtkwave3/src/ghw.c>`__),

+which allows visualizing GHW waves.
The GHW format is not completely fixed, and it might change slightly as new language features are implemented in GHDL
or as a result of internal tweaks.
-Nevertheless, the GHDL codebase (:ghdlsrc:`grt/grt-waves.adb <grt/grt-waves.adb>`) is kept in sync with the utilities in subdir :ghdlsrc:`ghw <../ghw>`.

In `nturley/ghw-notes <https://github.com/nturley/ghw-notes>`__, there is some work for defining the GHW format as a
