VHDL Native Maximum function

[shaiko]

Hello,

Is there a native VHDL function that receives 2 or more integers and returns the higher result ?

Let me google that for you...........

Yes.

In VHDL 2008, yes

result := maximum(a, b)
result := maximum(some_array);

minimum and maximum are defined for all scalar and enumerated types and arrays of those types.

Yes.

Only for vhdl 2008.
Pre 2008 they are not defined in any part of the langauge.

For some reason Quartus doesn't accept it.
Even though I have the tool set to VHDL 2008 I get this error:

Error (10482): VHDL error object "maximum" is used but not declared

Modelsim does accept the syntax...

Yes, because Quartus VHDL 2008 support is pretty laughable, other than Quartus prime pro 16.
No 2008 versions of any VHDL package are supported. Hence the lack of min/max functions.
Best stick with VHDL 1993 for synthesisable code for the time being.
