Re: [vhdl-200x-ft] Revised FT18: condition operator

Selon Peter Ashenden <peter@ashenden.com.au>:

Yet another suggestion.

Instead of
  *condition* ::= *boolean*_expression
               | condition?( expression )

  Where condition? is called by the compiler when the expression does
  not resolve to boolean.

Why not:
  *condition* ::= expression

  Where a "??" function returning a boolean is implcitly called with the
  expression as only argument.

Of course, a 'function "??" (a : boolean) return boolean;" has to be defined.
Things would be more orthogonal.

Tristan.
