Question on return result from a function

Hello, I am good at Verilog but I have a project where I need to review VHDL so this might be a simple question but I haven't found an answer yet. What does the function below return when n>1?...

This seems like a massively over complicated function. At then end, it appears to just return either a-b, with a load a and b appended to it when a > b or just 0 with a load of a and b appended to it. I really suggest you simulate it to see what it really does.

It also appears to be non-standard VHDL. given the use of the ext function, I guess it's using the non-standard std_logic_arith library?
