The ENDLINE function

The ENDLINE function described in the IEEE Standard VHDL Language Reference Manual, IEEE Std 1076-1987 contains invalid VHDL syntax and cannot be implemented in VHDL. This is because access types must be passed as variables, but functions only allow constant parameters.

Based on an ISAC-VASG recommendation the ENDLINE function has been removed from the TextIO package. The following test may be substituted for this function:

(L = NULL) OR (L'LENGTH = 0)
