Uninitialized out port

Hi floks,
i'm back again with a new error!!!
i wrote the vhdl code of a kogge-stone radix-2 at 8 bit, but i can't run the simulation because i get this error:

here are the two file code:

Thanks a lot in advance

ps here there is the schematic at 16bit that i followed!

Why don't you check the code yourself before posting? A brief view to the implementation of entity ks clarifies, that output s9 is never written.

what a shame....i'm really sorry, i checked the code, but i didn't saw the error!
btw i thought that this kind of error are reported from the compiler!!! so i was looking for some more important error!!!
thanks again!

You mean like this?

# ** Warning: (vsim-8683) Uninitialized out port /ks_tb/uut/s9(8 downto 0) has no driver

# ** Warning: (vsim-8683) Uninitialized out port /ks_tb/uut/s9(8 downto 0) has no driver

i expected something like "the port s(8 downto 0) doesn't exist"

btw i'm learning how the compiler talk to me!

I know how you feel. Sometimes the messages can be reasonably cryptic. But you get used to it. What does help however is for every new warning you don't recognize yet: cut & paste the warning into google. You learn a whole lot that way.
