VHDL linked list protected type
$0
This VHDL package contains an object-oriented linked list of protected type that implements a dynamic length FIFO for use in testbenches.
Description
The linked list is a dynamic data structure that’s useful when the total number of elements is not known in advance. It grows and shrinks relative to the number of items it contains.
The package is only for simulation because the linked list is not synthesizable. Study the testbench included in the downloadable to see an example use case.
