Simply have a look in the source of the std_logic_arith package:
https://www.csee.umbc.edu/portal/help/VHDL/packages/std_logic_arith_syn.vhd
1 | -- synopsys synthesis_off

2 | type tbl_type is array (STD_ULOGIC) of STD_ULOGIC;

3 | constant tbl_BINARY : tbl_type :=

|
5 | -- synopsys synthesis_on
|

7 | function MAKE_BINARY(A : STD_ULOGIC) return STD_ULOGIC is
|
8 | -- synopsys built_in SYN_FEED_THRU
|
9 | begin
|
10 | -- synopsys synthesis_off
|
11 | if (IS_X(A)) then
|
12 | assert false
|
13 | report "There is an 'U'|'X'|'W'|'Z'|'-' in an arithmetic operand, the result will be 'X'(es)."

|

|
18 | -- synopsys synthesis_on
|
19 | end;

It takes the input vector and makes a '1' out of a '1' or a 'H", and it
makes a '0' out of a '0' and a 'L', all the rest will be changed to 'X'.
BTW: I recoomend NOT to use the old Synopsys std_logic_arith libs. Use
the numeric_std instead. It has all you will need.
