I am experimenting to synthesise some VHDL 2008 code in Vivado 2016.3 (the same situation is in 2016.4)
The idea is to be able to have unconstrained array in record and at the same time have unconstrained array of these records.
Relevant code:

And finally test_entity_top.vhd which basically constraints the sizes for synthesis:

signal test_axis_out : axis_out;

end architecture;
This all nicely compiles in ModelSim. But Vivado is reluctant to sythesise it... With this error:
ERROR: [Synth 8-2190] illegal syntax for subtype indication [/home/bkremel/test_vivado/test_entity_top.vhd:15]

INFO: [Synth 8-2810] unit test ignored due to previous errors [/home/bkremel/test_vivado/test_entity_top.vhd:9]
Which indicate it does actually accept the syntax of record constraint:
signal test_axis_in : axis_in(tdata(DATA_W-1 downto 0),
tuser(DATA_W/8-1 downto 0));
While it does not like:
signal in_axis_in : axis_in_vector(SIZE-1 downto 0)(tdata(DATA_W-1 downto 0),
tuser(DATA_W/8-1 downto 0));
What would you suggest to use intead of unconstrained arrays and records?
The thing is that my design quite often changes the bit size of the stream.. So using generic packages would be quite inelegant (especially this register is nice example when in one file you have the bus with different sizes of data bus)
So far I have used one dimensional slv without records with manual indexing using functions/procedures, but that is quite messy to maintain...
I also add edaplayground example of relevant code https://www.edaplayground.com/x/eiC (to demonstrate that it works in simulator)...
Edit:
What is interesting is, that it actually synthesise if I do following:
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;
use work.axi_pkg.all;
entity test_entity_top is
end entity;
architecture test of test_entity_top is
constant SIZE : natural := 4;
constant DATA_W : natural := 16;
subtype axis_in_constr is axis_in(tdata(DATA_W-1 downto 0),
tuser(DATA_W/8-1 downto 0));
subtype axis_out_constr is axis_out;
signal ch0, ch1, ch2, ch3 : axis_in_constr;
signal out0, out1, out2, out3 : axis_in_constr;
signal in_axis_in : axis_in_vector := (ch0, ch1, ch2, ch3);
signal out_axis_in : axis_in_vector := (out0, out1, out2, out3);
signal in_axis_out : axis_out_vector(SIZE-1 downto 0);
signal out_axis_out : axis_out_vector(SIZE-1 downto 0);
signal aresetn : std_logic;
signal aclk : std_logic;
begin
tst : entity work.test_entity
port map (aresetn => aresetn,
aclk => aclk,
in_axis_in => in_axis_in,
in_axis_out => in_axis_out,
out_axis_in => out_axis_in,
out_axis_out => out_axis_out
);
end architecture;
So that means that the array of records with unconstrained array is actually supported, but the direct constraint syntax is not.
Any ideas how to define it less elaboratively? Although it's not big deal to define top-level like this.. Still I would not mind to avoid it, it looks a bit hacky...
Thanks

With Xilinx SR we had come to working example of desired behaviour, so I post it here as it works in Vivado as well as ModelSim/Edaplayground.

The problem is that not all files were marked as 2008 in Vivado (my fault). But I post this minimal example so that it nicely fit the question.

I want use internal signal of tag_mem entity in vivado in Test Bench.
Line with error in TB_tag_mem.vhd:

And these two entities;

I have Lattice iCE40 HX8K FPGA in 256 BGA package. I want to use one of the available PLL modules to transform external clock frequency of 37MHz to internal clock for use inside of the FPGA of 74MHz.
I used the "Configure PLL Module" in IceCube2 and used the following configuration:
- PLL Type section:
- GlobalNetworks to be Driven by PLL Output : 1;
- Dedicated Clock Pad;
- PLL Operation Modes:
- No Compensation Mode;
- Additional Delay Settings : No;
- Frequency:
- Input - 37MHz;
- Output - 74MHz;
- Others - nothing selected;
Then I get the two VHDL files - SO_pll.vhd and SO_pll_inst.vhd. I have file Design.vhd where my code is supposed to go.
If I understand correctly Lattice documentation, I need to specify that my Design.vhd (its Entity) is top Level Module, which I did. I need to include
SO_pll.vhd in the list of design files in IceCube2, which I did. And last - I need to use the template provided in SO_pll_inst.vhd to instantiate in my main code the PLL by port mapping the PLL signals to signals in my Design.vhd. Here comes the trouble - how to do it?

I just added Design.vhd and SO_pll.vhd to the list of design files. If I run synthesis with Lattice LSE the synthesis is successful, but the placer report says 0/2 PLLs used. If I run Synthesys with Synplify Pro placer report says 1/2 PLLs used,but I really cannot use it since I have not mapped the signals.
When I get the template from SO_pll_inst.vhd and place it inside of the architecture of Design.vhd I get the error message:
"ERROR - synthesis: design.vhd(19): so_pll is not declared. VHDL-1241"
Well, apparently I am missing something. If it is a template, I would expect just to map my signal and have it running. But no. Either I am doing something wrong, or...I am doing something wrong :) Please help.
Funny - I posted the question and I am posting the answer! :) here it goes:
---Design.vhd---

end RTL;
So, as obvious from the file above the key is in the instantiating of the entity of the PLL file. I was missing the keyword "entity" before the name of the entity specified in the PLL file. As expected, I was doing something wrong.

How can i directly instantiate pll(rtl) from the working library ?
Generate the PLL with the MegaWizard in Quartus Prime, and then include the generated .qip file in the design. I assume that the MegaWizard is used to generate PLL_altpll_0 in your example.
The generated PLL entity is then compiled into work (or another library which is then shown in the .qip file), and you can then instantiate the PLL with entity instantiation, and thus leave out the redundant component declaration in the architecture that uses the generated PLL. Code like, assuming workPLL_altpll_0 is compiled to work library:
altpll_0 : entity work.PLL_altpll_0
port map (
My vhdl code is as follows:
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.std_logic_arith.all;
use ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all;
entity pc is
port( inp : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
oup : out std_logic_vector(31 downto 0));
end pc ;
architecture behv of pc is
signal programcounter : std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
begin
process(inp)
begin
programcounter<=inp;
oup<=programcounter;
end process;
end behv;
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
entity ins_memory is
port( inp1 : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
oup1 : out std_logic_vector (4 downto 0));
end ins_memory;
architecture behv1 of ins_memory is

Here basically, I am trying to instantiate pc in entity ins_memory which is a ROM
The error I am getting is :
oup1<= Content (to_integer(inp1)); The symbol
'TO_INTEGER' does not have a visible declaration.
so, How can I solve this error?
There are two entity/architecture declarations, but only the first uses std_logic_arith/unsigned packages, thus these are not known to the second. So add it before ins_memory the entity:
use ieee.std_logic_arith.all;
use ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all;
Next, the to_integer is from the numeric_std package. The std_logic_vector to integer convert in the std_logic_unsigned package is named conv_integer, so update the oup1 assign to:
oup1<= Content (conv_integer(inp1));
Btw, you can get ridge of the component declaration if you instantiate the pc entity directly with:
D1 : entity work.pc port map(inp1);
Another btw., consider using the VHDL standard numeric_std package instead of the proprietary Synopsys std_logic_arith/unsigned packages.
