RE: [vhdl-200x] Why OOP vs Generics

Good question.

In the modeling I have done over the years I have used constants a bit but
have never actually used generics.

Testbenches have been where I most use constants.

More discussion?

Subject: [vhdl-200x] Why OOP vs Generics

Hi,
Martin asked a question in this mornings meeting:
why generics vs OOP/AOP programming? What are some
examples where we need OOP/AOP over using generics?
Particularly for testbenches.

I would like to open/provoke the discussion from there.

Best,
Jim
