Defines a namespace.

namespace NamespaceName
{
	Namespace_contents;
}

The namespace statement allows arranging classes, entities and functions hierarchically to simplify finding them with using autocompletion mechanism. The namespace concept in THDL++ is equivalent to C# namespaces. You can reference namespaces inside source files with the help of the using statement.

Namespaces can contain the following primitives: class, entity, typedef, const, enum, import_entity. Namespaces can also be nested and can contain function declarations.

THDL++ compiler comes with built-in library (corelib.vhl) that defines namespaces Core and System.

namespace RAMs
{
	namespace Synchronous
	{
		entity SinglePort {...};
		entity DualPort {...};
	}
	
	namespace Asynchronous
	{
		entity SinglePort {...};
		entity DualPort {...};
	}
}

entity Test
{
	RAMs.Synchronous.SinglePort RAM1(...);
}


namespace SpeedOptimized
{
	int Divide(int a, int b) {...}
}

namespace AreaOptimized
{
	int Divide(int a, int b) {...}
}

using namespace SpeedOptimized;

entity Test
{
	...
	process proc1(...)
	{
		z = Divide(x, y);
	}
}
