Hello
I'm trying to use a component and part of my code is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
for i in 0 to n-1 loop
for o in 0 to n-1 loop
for p in 0 to n-1 loop
if (o-p = 32) then
bf(i): butterfly port map(s(o),s(p),w(0),g1(i);g1(i+1))
end if;
end loop;
end loop;
end loop;
-----------------------------------------------------------------
but I can't set the name of component "bf(i)" and I can't set a static 
name either, because it's going to make as much component as needed by 
defining n by user.
So my question is how can I do this.
Appreciate your help.
Best Regards.

Why do you want to do this? During simulation/synthesis, each of your 
n^3 component instances will be assigned an individual name 
automatically. For example, something like bf_1_3_7, depending on the 
tools. So just write bf for the name. There is no need for indexing the 
instances in your code.

Of course you know, that n must be fixed. It can be set during compile 
time, but not later when the simulation is running or when the design is 
on an FPGA or ASIC.
