Re: how is it with gtkwave and tracing interfaces?

In your `i_dut` instance the generators access
the `ClkxC` and `ResetxRN` ports, they don't access
the interface, these are the local variables the
tracer decides to traces these (as seen in the hierarchy).

(from VCD file):
     $var reg 1 # ClkxC $end
     $var reg 1 $ ResetxRN $end

I imagine if you pass `rc` and use `rc.*` in the
`i_dut` instance you will see the interface hierarchy?


I modified it to reference clock and reset in the
testbench function.


     def wrapper(self):
         rc = self.rc
         clock = self.rc.ClkxC
         reset = self.rc.ResetxRN

         def testbench():
             @instance
             def doreset():
                 yield reset.pulse( (10, 12, 18) )

             @instance
             def stimulus():
                 yield func(self)
                 raise StopSimulation

             i_clk = clock.gen()
             i_dut = self.dut(*self.args)

             return i_dut, i_clk, stimulus, doreset


I use interfaces quite extensively and typically
don't run into tracing issues - not sure what might
be different here ...

You can get around this by using in the rhea
directory.

    >> python setup.py develop

The intended use is

   from rhea.system import Clock, Reset

In Python3 the above won't work.
