Usage section missing details

[dstadelm]

I'm very interested in ghdl_ls there are however some starting hurdles that I've got to overcome.

1. How does a project have to be setup for multiple libraries (not only work). Multiple sections?

{
    "options": {
        "ghdl_analysis": [
            "--workdir=lib1",
            "--ieee=synopsys",
            "-fexplicit"
        ]
    },
    "files": [
...
    ]
}
{
    "options": {
        "ghdl_analysis": [
            "--workdir=lib2",
            "--ieee=synopsys",
            "-fexplicit"
        ]
    },
    "files": [
...
    ]
}

2. Can patterns be used for "files"?

    "files": [
        { "file": "rtl/**/hdl/*.vhd",           "language": "vhdl" },
        { "file": "assembly/core_fpga.vhd", "language": "vhdl" },
        { "file": "sim/tb_core.vhd",        "language": "vhdl" }
    ]

3. What alternatives to "vhdl" are there for "language", doesn't ghdl only support vhdl anyway?

Currently you cannot. You have to first analyze all the files not in the work library and create a project for the work library. For sure, that needs to be changed. I propose to add a library attribute per file.

2. Can patterns be used for "files"? "files": [ { "file": "rtl/**/hdl/*.vhd", "language": "vhdl" }, { "file": "assembly/core_fpga.vhd", "language": "vhdl" }, { "file": "sim/tb_core.vhd", "language": "vhdl" } ]

No. The project file is low-level and files must be explicit.

All the non-vhdl files are ignored.
