Is this for initialising a ROM? Real values cannot be used in synthesisable code, but they can be used to initialise ROM/RAM contents assuming the ROM/RAM contains a synthesisable type (not real).

If it is for some run-time code, your description makes it sound like it wont map nicely to hardware and probably should not be inside a function. It sounds more like a software description rather than hardware.
