Re: [vhdl-200x] A compromise about modular type, boolean operations, integers...

Hello again,

I updated the proposal at 
http://www.eda-twiki.org/cgi-bin/view.cgi/P1076/IntegerOperators
including the latest discussions, and covering one practical aspect that 
has not yet
been discussed (how to implement sra/ror/rol).
I have separated the question of the integer size and it should work 
whatever
the host's integer size, with constrains (the "range"/"modular" acting 
as side wheels)
or not ("look 'ma, no hands!" if you feel adventurous or simply need 
it).

For the whole system to be complete, I need to create another proposal 
for a particular
way to implement the modular behaviour. Not as a new type or with 
resolution functions,
but as an extension of the range system. As a bonus, I'd like to add 
saturate behaviour.

I like that these 2 proposals are functionally independent. Each one 
provides interesting features
and is not "hard" to implement (mostly reusing and extending existing 
code), and together
they provide the final desired result (safe and practical bool/shift 
operations).
