If you add a new control or sensor variable to the system under test, it seems to me you necessarily have to add some information about it to the monitoring system, no? A package that simply 'with's the packages with global variables should be a) automatically buildable, and b) require nothing but recompilation of that single package and a relink, when you change the set of variables. What am I missing? > The idea here was a minimal impact sort of thing A package whose execution happens entirely at elaboration time, and which never does anything thereafter, seems like a fairly minimal impact, unless of course you are trying to monitor elaboration itself.
