VPI: vpiPort should be a ModifiableObject?
See original GitHub issueAs mentioned in #796 in the current implementation of the VPI interface (here and here) , vpiPorts are made into HierarchicalObjects. I believe this is not correct and a vpiPort should be considered as a ModifiableObject instead.
I already have a patch for this but I’d like to hear more about the original rational and also #796 to settle.

While investigating #497 / #2075, I found that
vpiPortobjects don’t have values themselves and just detail connections. Usingvpi_handle(vpiLowConn, port_handle)gets the handle of whatever it’s connected to (or NULL for no connection) lower in the hierarchy (such as a variable or net). So I thinkModifiableObjectis not the correct mapping for avpiPort.Has your question been resolved? If so please close this issue.
