Unique constant per instantiation

Good morning! Is there a way to generate a constant that is unique per call to the function? I want something like this: architecture ... constant c_myid : std_logic_vector(31 downto 0...

And the answer is - no. I tried putting a shared variable inside a package with a function that incremented the SV and then returned it. It complained saying my constant wasnt constant (well, technically it is!). I tried to trick it by returning a constant from the fuynction based on the SV, but it wasnt having that either.
