This project provides support under Emacs in terms of navigation of VHDL sources.
Source code, tar and zip.
VHDL-tools originates as a collection of missing, necessary functionalities to
my workflow. It provides an extra layer in the form of two minor modes,
vhdl-tools-mode which completes the default emacs vhdl-mode and
vhdl-tools-vorg-mode which lies on top of the powerful org-mode. It adds
vhdl-specific functionality based on packages as ggtags, helm, imenu and
outshine to ease navigating vhdl sources.
VHDL-tools expects a working setup of ggtags, completing it with
- Jumping into instances
- Jump to upper level
- Searching for references
- Link and headings management
- Custom use of imenu
- Org / vhdl coupling
Some additional emacs packages useful in this context
- smart scan
- Jumps between other symbols found at point in Emacs
- beacon
- A light that follows your cursor around so you don’t lose it
- aggressive-indent-mode
- Emacs minor mode that keeps your code always indented. More reliable than electric-indent-mode
- VDHL capf
- Emacs completion at point function (capf) backend for use with company
- toc-org
- Up-to-date table of contents in org files
- helm navi
- When using
outshine - poporg
- Tool for editing comments in any text mode
- org-link
- Display org-mode style bracket links in non-org-mode buffers
Sparse list of projects intended at improving coding
For a basic, example configuration see this; my personal setup is here.
Basically, I just update the load path and declare vhd files to be open in
vhdl-tools-mode. Then, when the libray is loaded, I customize its behaviour,
including not only vhdl-tools related features but additional useful code.
