Positional Association in Instantiations

Most VHDL designers prefer named associations in port and generic maps in instantiations. This makes it a lot easier to spot wrong connections. By default Sigasi Studio warns when positional associations are used. You can change the severity of this check via Preferences > Sigasi > VHDL > Errors/Warnings in the Instantiation statement valiadation section.

architecture RTL of dut is

   component my_comp port (
      clk: in std_logic;
      rst: in std_logic;
      inp: in std_logic;
      outp: out std_logic);
   end component;

begin
   i_comp_1: my_comp port map( -- positional associations not recommended
      clk,
      rst,
      data_in(0),
      open
   );

   i_comp_2: my_comp port map( -- named associations recommended
      clk  => clk,
      rst  => rst,
      inp  => data_in(0),
      outp => open
   );
end architecture RTL;
