In listings of special symbols, [] are mentioned but I cannot find them
in the grammar.
(I use http://www.geocities.com/purnank/vhdl93.html for now.)
Searching is complicated by their use as meta symbols for optional elements.
As far as I can tell, all []s in the grammar above are meta symbols, though
the predefined attributes section shows their use for indexing array
attributes.
Are [] generally usable as alternatives to () or are they used in specific
places?
The coloured syntax at
http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/vhdl/tools/grammar/vhdl93-bnf.html
has brown keywords and symbols while metasymbols are white. But no brown
[] as far as I can see.
BTW what is the most accurate online syntax, preferably with 2001 coverage?
in the grammar.
