Variable: vhdl-instance-name

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

Value

(".*" . "\\&_%d")

Documentation

Specifies how an instance name is obtained.

The instance name can be obtained by modifying the name of the component to be instantiated (e.g. attaching or stripping off a substring). "%d" is replaced by a unique number (starting with 1). If TO STRING is empty, the instance name is queried.

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
