If .name or .* is used, and a signal with the same name does not exist in the instantiating module, should that be an error or should the port be left unconnected? The LRM is not explicit, which is a problem, but hints that in order to leave the port unconnected, you have to explicitly use a named empty port connection. In any case, I would expect the behavior to be the same for both of them. However, I tested 3 implementations, and found that only one of them gave errors in both cases, and two of them behaved differently in the two cases. Since we see that implementations have differed, this means we need to be explicit. Thanks, Shalom Shalom Bresticker Intel Jerusalem LAD DA +972 2 589-6852 +972 54 721-1033 I don't represent Intel
