need to count constants names in vhdl

Question

I have a list of constant objects as shown below. They are record type. I am trying to run a loop in which I can access all of them one by one. Could somebody suggest a way to do that?

type objecttype is record
      id, x_start, x_end, y_start, y_end : integer;
end record objecttype;   
constant C_OBJ1: objecttype :=(id       =>   0,
                               x_start  => 200,
                               x_end    => 300);
constant C_OBJ2: objecttype :=(id       =>   0,
                              x_start  => 400,
                              x_end    => 500);

I want to do something like :

for i in 0 to 5 loop C_OBJ(i)......... end loop;

Answer 1

Make an array of objects. E.g.:

entity test_e is
end entity;

architecture test_a of test_e is
    type objecttype is record
        id, x_start, x_end, y_start, y_end : integer;
    end record objecttype;   

    type objectarray is array (natural range <>) of objecttype;

    constant C_OBJ : objectarray(0 to 5) := (
        (1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
        (1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
        (1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
        (1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
        (1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
        (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
        );
begin
end architecture;
