Hello,
how can I pass a package as generic parameter to another package in GHDL?
You can do that only if you follow the vhdl restrictions: you can only
pass an instance of a generic package.
Currently, GHDL doesn’t support type generics, so I would like to use a
package,
to carry a type into another package. How can I do this?
No, you cannot work-around like this.
Type generics are indeed not yet supported (and I think the design for
it in the vhdl standard is bogus. I am not sure it would allow you to do
what you want).
package P1 is
subtype MyType is integer;
end package;
package P2 is
generic (
package Foo
);
type T_MyArray is array(integer range <>) of Foo.MyType;
end package;
GHDL complains, that a “is” is missing after “package Foo”.
P.S.
Is there another way to pass a type into a package (which is supported
by GHDL)?
No.
Tristan.
