Hi all.
More VHDL learning curve. I'm trying to copy some SystemVerilog verification code I did a couple of years ago but I'm stuck. I want to report and/or act based on the hierarchical instance of a procedure. I thought I could use the 'instance_name attribute but that only statically determined and just tells me the package name where I defined the procedure - not what I want.
How do I extra the hierarchical path during run-time? I thought of a way to do it using generics but I'd have to rewrite dozens of nested procedures and functions to plumb a path string down. Not gonna happen.
Thanks!
David
ps - I did find some handy string manipulation in VHDL 2008 (e.g. to_string(time
). I also wrote an slv to string function that adds underscores every 4 digits to make long numbers readable. I'm working on a similar function that takes a real and outputs a string with commas every 3 digits to the left and right of the decimal point. Don't suppose someone already has this? Extra points for Euro input to swap "." and ","
