I don't believe there exists an automatic method for
doing this, you would need to manage it yourself.  You
could have a random unique value created or use a `id`
string argument to the module (function).

You could use a function attribute and increment on
each call [1]:

     def vhdl_stub(...)
         vhdl_stub.id = vhdl_stub.id + 1
         this_id = vhdl_stib_id
