vhdl-actual-port-name is a customizable variable defined in vhdl-mode.el.gz.

Value

(".*" . "\\&")

Documentation

Specifies how actual port names are obtained from formal port names.

In a component instantiation, an actual port name can be obtained by modifying the formal port name (e.g. attaching or stripping off a substring).

FROM REGEXP is a regular expression matching the original name:
  ".*" matches the entire string
  "\\(...\\)" matches a substring
TO STRING specifies the string to be inserted as new name:
  "\\&" means substitute entire matched text
  "\\N" means substitute what matched the Nth "\\(...\\)"
Examples:
  ".*" "\\&" inserts original string
  ".*" "\\&_i" attaches "_i" to original string
  "\\(.*\\)_[io]$" "\\1" strips off "_i" or "_o" from original string
  ".*" "foo" inserts constant string "foo"
  ".*" "" inserts empty string
