Order of associations

Sigasi gives a warning when the order of generics, ports, or parameters in a map or subprogram argument list differs from their original declaration order.

VHDL
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
   assert iterations <= MAX_COUNT;

   i_comp_1: my_comp port map( -- associations should be kept in the same order as the declaration
      rst  => rst,
      clk  => clk,
      inp  => data_in(0),
      outp => open
   );

   i_comp_1: my_comp port map(

Rule configuration

This rule can be disabled for your project, or its severity and parameters can be modified in the project linting settings. Alternatively, it can be manually configured using one of the following templates, depending on the type of project you use.

  • For Modular Projects, add these entries to your project's .sigasi/settings.json settings file. To scope the settings to a specific folder or file instead of the whole project, place them inside an @override block; to scope them to a specific target, place them inside a @targets block.

    JSONC
    {
        "vhdl.rules.177.severity": "{ERROR|WARNING|INFO|IGNORE}"
    }
  • For Classic Projects, add the VHDL lines to .settings/com.sigasi.hdt.vhdl.linting.prefs and the Verilog/SystemVerilog lines to .settings/com.sigasi.hdt.verilog.linting.prefs:

    PREFS
    177/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
