It can be good practice to separate the primary units in a design and declare them in separate files. Similarly, guidelines exist for where secondary units should be declared in relation to other secondary units or to their corresponding primary unit. Sigasi Visual HDL can enforce where design units are defined in relation to other design units.
File contains multiple primary units
Every primary unit should live in a separate file.
package pkg1 is
end package;
package pkg2 is -- more than 1 primary unit in the file
end package;Secondary unit in unexpected file
Secondary units are more flexible. Sigasi can suggest to put them either in the same file as their corresponding primary unit, or in a separate file (or not check them at all). You can configure this separately for the architecture of entities with a single architecture, for the architectures of an entity with multiple architectures, and for package bodies.
Rule configuration
These rules can be disabled for your project, or their severity and parameters can be modified in the project linting settings. Alternatively, they can be manually configured with the following template:
# Primary unit location
242/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
# Secondary unit location
243/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
243/params/single_architecture/${path}={same_file_as_primary|separate_file|ignore}
243/params/multiple_architectures/${path}={separate_file|same_file_as_primary|ignore}
243/params/package_body/${path}={separate_file|same_file_as_primary|ignore}
