Style Notes

Changes are shown in red font. Deletions are crossed out. Editing notes in green font.

Reviewing Notes

All uses of the word configuration and library were searched for related material. Only section 3.4.1 contained a requirement for a configuration declaration to be in the same library as the entity it configures. Hence, this edit requires only deleting a single sentence.

Details of Language Change

3.4 Configuration declarations

3.4.1 General

[Edit 3rd paragraph on page 13 in section 3.4.1. BNF counts as 1 paragraph]

The entity name identifies the name of the entity declaration that defines the design entity at the root of the design hierarchy. For a configuration of a given design entity, both the configuration declaration and the corresponding entity declaration shall reside in the same library.
