Configuring Consecutive Blank Line Rules¶

There are rules which will check for excessive number of consecutive blank lines.

There is one option to these rules:

Option	Values	Default	Description
`blank_lines_allowed`	integer >= 1	1	The maximum number of consecutive blank lines allowed.

This is an example of how to configure the option.

rule :
  whitespace_200:
     blank_lines_allowed: 1

All examples use the following code snippet:

signal wr_en : std_logic;  -- Two blank lines below

signal rd_en : std_logic;  -- Three blank lines below

signal overflow : std_logic;

Example: `blank_lines_allowed` set to `1`¶

signal wr_en : std_logic;  -- Two blank lines below

signal rd_en : std_logic;  -- Three blank lines below

signal overflow : std_logic;

signal wr_en : std_logic;  -- Two blank lines below

signal rd_en : std_logic;  -- Three blank lines below

signal overflow : std_logic;
