When multiple files that contain design units with the same names are compiled to the same library, simulators and synthesis tools would use the design unit that is compiled last. However, it might not be a good idea to rely on compilation order in such cases. Thus, Sigasi reports a warning for each duplicate design unit.
print.vhd:VHDLlibrary ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all; -- Duplicate design unit 'work.print_result', also declared in file 'out_result.vhd' entity print_result is port(clock, op : in std_logic; result : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0)); end print_result;out_result.vhd:VHDLlibrary ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all; -- Duplicate design unit 'work.print_result', also declared in file 'print.vhd' entity print_result is port(clock, op : in std_logic; fin_res : out std_logic_vector(31 downto 0); result : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0)); end print_result;
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.jsonsettings file. To scope the settings to a specific folder or file instead of the whole project, place them inside an@overrideblock; to scope them to a specific target, place them inside a@targetsblock.JSONC{ "vhdl.rules.64.severity": "{ERROR|WARNING|INFO|IGNORE}" }For Classic Projects, add the VHDL lines to
.settings/com.sigasi.hdt.vhdl.linting.prefsand the Verilog/SystemVerilog lines to.settings/com.sigasi.hdt.verilog.linting.prefs:PREFS64/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
