using generic string in VHDL report

Question

When I use the report statement in VHDL, I want the string output to depend on a generic which I can declare at instantiation level. Can and how do I do this? Let's say as a crazy example, in the entity I put:

generic ( blah : string :="happy");

...

then later I have in the architecture:

report "my mood is: " <blah> severity warning;

I know this doesn't work, so how do I have the generic as part of the report output?

您需要使用&连接字符串：

report "my mood is " & blah severity warning;
