Example
Starting with VHDL 2008, a comment can also extend on several lines. Multi-lines comments start with /* and end with */. Example :
/* This process models the state register.
It has an active low, asynchronous reset
and is synchronized on the rising edge
of the clock. */
process(clock, aresetn)
begin
if aresetn = '0' then
state <= IDLE;
elsif rising_edge(clock) then
state <= next_state;
end if;
end process;
Delimited comments can also be used on less than a line:
-- Finally, we decided to skip the reset...
process(clock/*, aresetn*/)
begin
/*if aresetn = '0' then
state <= IDLE;
els*/if rising_edge(clock) then
state <= next_state;
end if;
end process;
