N_bit decoder/encoder

[Gietek]

How can I implement N-bit decoder (encoder?) (I mean 001 => 00000001, 010 =>
00000010, 011 => 00000100, 111 => 10000000...), where N is a parameter?
It's quite easy with integer signal on input but I have bit_vector.

Have you looked into design templates? In addition, here is mine:

process
O <= (others => '0');
O(code) <= '1';
end;

try an recursive approach with generate-statements.

dec(1) ~ feed trough / inverter
dec ~ dec(n/2) + ...

j

....
nn : in std_logic_vector(a downto 0); -- a = log2
output : out std_logic_vector(n downto 0);
....
output <= ((to_integer(unsigned(nn)) => '1', others => '0');
....

(quite similar to V. Tihomirov's approach )

Here is something close to what you want, I think. It using
std_logic_vector inputs, not bit_vector, but it should be easy to
adapt it for your needs. The output codes are arbitrary and not the
ones you want--again easily changed.
