Element association inside constant declaration

[erick166]

Environment
VHDL Style Guide (VSG) version: 3.14.0

Describe the bug
The rule element_association_100 checks for spaces between the others keyword and the => assignment inside a multi-line constant declaration.

To Reproduce

constant C_ADDRESS_CONTROL : natural := 0;
constant C_ADDRESS_DATA    : natural := 1;
type t_address_en is array (0 to 31) of boolean;

constant C_DEFAULT_VALUES : t_address_en := (
  C_ADDRESS_CONTROL => false,
  C_ADDRESS_DATA    => true,
  others            => false
);

Expected behavior
The => assignment should have the same alignment as the other elements inside the constant declaration.

Good Morning @erick166 ,

You can control the acceptable whitespace using the following configuration:

  rule:
    element_association_100:
      number_of_spaces: '>=1'

This will allow more than more space after the others keyword.

I am working on an alignment rule for constant declarations as part of issue #999

Let me know if the above configuration works for you or if there is more work to be done.

Thanks,

--Jeremy

Hi,

Yes, that configuration works, thanks!
