Unresolved types
The modules consistently use unresolved types
(e.g. std_ulogic
instead of std_logic
, u_unsigned
instead of unsigned
, etc.).
This means that accidental multiple drivers of a signal will result in an error when simulating
or synthesizing the design.
Since e.g. std_logic
is a sub-type of std_ulogic
in VHDL-2008, it is no problem if
hdl-modules components are integrated in a code base that still uses the resolved types.
E.g. a std_logic
signal can be attached to a hdl-modules port of type std_ulogic
(both in
and out
) without problem.
