Re: [Xschem] signals defined in records are also instantiated separately

Currently not, an exact match is needed to hilight record fields. Will try to see if this can be done in VHDL mode.

So you suggest a flag that prevents xschem appending _vector to a bussed signal, so if sig_verbose=true a label A[7:0] with type mytype and sig_verbose=true
will translate to a declaration like:

signal A : mytype(7 downto 0);

instead of:

signal A : mytype_vector(7 downto 0);

Am i correct?

Have a nice day
