原理解說
在 Using VPI — http://iverilog.wikia.com/wiki/Using_VPI 這篇文章中，記載了這個機製的運作原理，以下是我認為最重要的一段話：

The simulator run time (The "vvp" program) gets a handle on a freshly loaded module by looking for the symbol "vlog_startup_routines" in the loaded module. This table, provided by the module author and compiled into the module, is a null terminated table of function pointers. The simulator calls each of the functions in the table in order. The following simple C definition defines a sample table:

void (*vlog_startup_routines[])() = {
hello_register,
0
};

Note that the "vlog_startup_routines" table is an array of function pointers, with the last pointer a 0 to mark the end. The programmer can organize the module to include many startup functions in this table, if desired.

透過這種方式，我們就能讓 Icarus Verilog 的 vvp 虛擬機呼叫 C 語言的函數了。
