[vhdl-200x] Fwd: Proposal for the next version of the IEEE 1076 standard

Hi Jim

I was told by Joan from IEEE that I should contact you regarding the IEEE 1076 standard. I have a wish for the next version of the VHDL standard: The generic section of an entity should also support
architectures, so that you are able to delegate on instantiation - Say you have a core component, but some internal part the component is application specific. If you have a vast number of
applications that are using the core component you do not want the application specific code inside the core component. If you are able to reference to the application specific architecture on the
instance, you can keep the core component clean of application specific code. This is similar to object composition design pattern in the software world (Gang of Four: “Design Patterns: Elements of
Reusable Object-Oriented Software”).

*Best regards*

Dear Mr. Jensen,

Thank you for your interest in the IEEE 1076 standard.

Please send requests for the standard to the P1076 working group chair, Jim Lewis,  at Jim@synthworks.com <mailto:Jim@synthworks.com>.

Best regards,
