Emacs - VHDL Mode, what does "Upper Case Enumeration Values" and "Upper Case Constants" do?

[m***@gmail.com]

Could someone explain what these are supposed to do?

I don't believe its taking effect, I am hoping it capitalizes state values

Example:

type state is (idle, transfer, done);
...
case state is
when idle =>"

TO

type state is (IDLE, TRANSFER, DONE);
...
case state is
when IDLE

AND

"constant test : std_logic_vector(9 downto 0) := (others => '0');"
"constant TEST : std_logic_vector(9 downto 0) := (others => '0');"

this is what I'm looking for

I've found that what "vhdl-mode" means by "enumerated values" are words like note, warning, error, failure (assert severity) and true, false (boolean). Not really all that useful and the name of the options "enumerated value" would make me think it should have the effect you describe...

I can't work out what it's doing for that either...

might be worth asking here:
