2D Unconstrained Nx1 Array

Question

I\'m trying to create a flexible array of constants. I want to use a 2D array which may sometimes be for example a 2x1, 2x2, 3x2 array etc. For example:

type         


        

Answer 1

The LRM (section 9.3.3 Aggregates) states:

Aggregates containing a single element association shall always be specified using named association in order to distinguish them from parenthesized expressions.

So, this is OK:

constant n : int_1d_array(0 downto 0) := ( 0 => 1 );

and this is not:

constant n : int_1d_array(0 downto 0) := ( 1 );
