[myhdl-list] MEP-107: Conversion of Attribute Signal Containers

[Guy E. <gu...@no...>]

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this has been discussed before, but instead of 
using underscores to create the port names (MyObj_*):

     entity ex1 is
          port (
              clk: in std_logic;
              MyObj_x: in unsigned(7 downto 0);
              MyObj_y: in unsigned(3 downto 0);
              MyObj_z: out unsigned(8 downto 0)
          );
     end entity ex1;

names could also be mangled by putting them between backslashes, e.g.:

     entity ex1 is
          port (
              clk: in std_logic;
              \MyObj#x\: in unsigned(7 downto 0);
              \MyObj#y\: in unsigned(3 downto 0);
              \MyObj#z\: out unsigned(8 downto 0)
          );
     end entity ex1;

Not sure whether this would be desirable, though.

Cheers,
Guy.
