@kaz: a generic is set at compilation time, so it behaves like a constant. It's not a signal that can vary in time...

Almost, but not quite.
A constant is a known value when you compile the code. A generic may not have a default value when you compile the code, so it is only fixed when you isntantiate the entity, so therefore it is not static, and hence the error when you compile the code.

@kaz This does not change anything...

yes it does, because generics are not static.
