Saravana Kumar,

At all, right GUI as separate process and organize API.

Basically, at the moment you use API and link your own code with
a commercial EDA tool, you lose support in case of crashes -  the support
folks are telling you maybe it's you code that causes segfault.

You can even organize data exchange between the GUI and the simulator
through files - $readmemh works in Verilog (though last year there was
a case (star) that even $readmemh didn't work ...).

With the file solution you do not use Verilog API at all, so you keep
you support.

Regards,
  Sergei.
