so i assume that my patched version will hold until you release another.
by the way, wouldn't it be great if you separated the testbench
from the ciadd package ? So if you can't compile the testbench
at least you could compile the package...

Since at that point the compiler knows the new name and type,
   Signal s : std_ulogic_vector(N downto M) := random(s);
means that you send a std_ulogic_vector(N downto M) to random().
So you don't have to repeat the declarations.
Unfortunately there is no way that i know for a function
to read the type and range of the final recipient.

PS : back at sound compression/processing, i am dusting off
the 8-tap real Winograd FP FFT code i wrote 3 months ago.
I am curious to see what i can do when i put a JPEG-like DCT
on top of it :*)
