Re: [h-e-w] Location of error lines from modelsim vhdl compile do not work

[Lennart Borgman]

Hi Peter,

I see what you mean. It could make sense to ask for other peoples
experiences here.

But vhdl-mode is part of Emacs so I guess compiling vhdl files should
be supported by Emacs as well. I think the best thing to do then is to
send an Emacs bug report. Could you please do that?

If you can it would be good if you tried with a newer Emacs first.
There are binaries for the current beta to download.
