My question is how to write a Codegenerator for my above grammar so as to generate a .vhdl template.

Hi Dietrich, this is what I have tried so far.

/*
* generated by Xtext 2.13.0
*/
package org.xtext.vhdlinterface.generator

import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.AbstractGenerator
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IFileSystemAccess2
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IGeneratorContext
import org.xtext.vhdlinterface.myVHDL.Model

/**
* Generates code from your model files on save.
*
* See https://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/303_runtime_concepts.html#code-generation
*/
class MyVHDLGenerator extends AbstractGenerator {

override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, IGeneratorContext context) {
fsa.generateFile('code.vhdl', '' +
resource.allContents
.filter(Model)
.join(''))
}
}

Please throw a look and I will be very greatful for your feedback. Thanks
NB: I am completely new to this field.

Hi

What do you mean by generate VHDL? It seems that you have (re)developed a VHDL grammar enabling you to edit VHDL files with Xtext. As such your input file is VHDL so there is nothing more to generate.

Exactly you got me right. I already have a .vhdl file and my aim was to write the grammar of that .vhdl file in xtext. So these were my ideas:
-> Develop the grammar
-> Run the developed grammar as an Eclipse Application
-> Write some common validators
-> Generate some codes with the code generator

Attached is the original .vhdl file which I wish to regenerate using XTEXT. I hope you will understand me now. Thanks alot

well what is not clear for me:

- is your question regarding the last point ( Generate some codes with the code generator)
- and of yes what is the specific problem you have. you should be able to create a simple file with some content with whats in the tutorial

Yes my question is how to generate some codes with the code generator. From the grammar I posted right up. Please could you write a code generator for my grammar and show me? I think that will be the solution to my problem.

Do you mean the tutorials on the eclipse page(https://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/102_domainmodelwalkthrough.html)?

still cannot follow you

override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, IGeneratorContext context) {
fsa.generateFile('code.vhdl', '''Hello World''')
}


and i mean this one: https://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/103_domainmodelnextsteps.html#tutorial-code-generation

Hi

What code do you expect to generate?

If you want to convert the VHDL to masks for a silicon then you should look to the various silicon synthesis tools.

If you want to simulate the VHDL look at VHDL simulation tools.

Regards
