Thanks for the reply @Vicky . I am a bit puzzled though. According to the list on page 7 of the document you mention only the Pro Edition supports synthesis for VHDL-2008. In the standard edition I am using it is however possible to select VHDL-2008 in the "VHDL Input" section of the "Compiler Settings" in the settings window. I also think it a bit strange that VHDL-2008 is only supported for designs with the series 10 devices. Since our design is based on an Arria V this would convict me to not using VHDL-2008 😒 .
Luckily @Tricky pointed my to the document https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/quartushelp/current/index.htm#hdl/vhdl/vhdl_list_2008_vhdl_support.htm
which is the document that is opened when I select "Help topics" in the help of my Quartus Prime Standard Edition. The document however is about the Pro Edition. In the paragraph about HL Language support there is a section about VHDL-2008 support
unfortunately is states there that section 16 "Predefined language environment" which holds the predefined attributes of types and objects isn't supported 😥 .
Question still is whether this paragraph is also valid for the Standard Edition? Why is it possible to select VHDL-2008 in the Standard Edition I use while the list on page 7 indicates that VHDL-2008 is only supported on the Pro Edition? Why do I get the Pro help when I select "Help topics" in the Standard Edition? It would be nice to have some clarification on this so I won't run into more unexpected limitations.
Thanks,
