[VHDL-2008] Component declaration

[ivlsi]

Hi All,

Is there still a need to declare components in VHDL-2008? Might be a component instance be used with its declaration? It seems it's a double work - to declare a component with its ports list and then list the same ports with their connections (in its instance).

Thank you!

Sorry, but that's the way VHDL works.

Do a search on VHDL-93 entity instance. No component required.
