Hi i'm using cadence virtuoso and i'm trying to use a generic to determine the port width in a vhdl entity.

entity Voter is
      generic ( width : integer := 8 );
   Port ( input1 : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (width-1 downto 0);
          input2 : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (width-1 downto 0);
          input3 : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (width-1 downto 0);
          output : out  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (width-1 downto 0));
end Voter;

when i compile this it gives me the warning.

*WARNING* (DB-270000): dbCreateNet: Input name(or member) : input<width-1:0> has improper bus syntax
*Error* dbCreateTerm: argument #1 should be a database object (type template="dgtxg") - nil
Error failed to create shadow database for (work voter entity).

i've tried to put brackets around the (width-1) which doens't work either.

Thank you Boe.

To bad it isn't supported, would be really nice to be able to use a component multiple times with different parameters.
