subtype UREAL is REAL;
type UREAL_VECTOR is array (natural range <>) of UREAL;
type UREAL_TABLE is array (natural range <> , natural range <>) of REAL;
function resolved (S : UREAL_VECTOR) return UREAL;
subtype RREAL is resolved UREAL;



could you plz any one explain the above lines..i understood first line .but in second line what is meaning of "natural range<>".and i didn't understood 4,5 lines
 

Someone like silly code.

the first line is one of the most redundant bits of code I have ever seen. why do you make a subtype of real without setting a range you might as well just leave it at real.

the natural range bit is telling users that the range of this vector, when declared, must be anything from 0 to integer'high. So

signal a: ureal_vector(0 to 10); --valid
signal b: ureal_vector(99 downto 66); --valid
signal c: ureal_vector(-1 to 1); --invalid as -1 is not in the natural range.

But then finally someone is resolving the real type. Is this for some model, maybe of an analogue circuit? this code is not synthesisable.
 

Thanks for your reply.. yes it is code for analog modeling not for design just for simulations
