Following the discussion on the emacs-devel mailing list, here is the updated patch based on the emacs-29 branch. - Update vhdl-compiler definition and docstring to include the message type. - Increment vhdl-version to 3.38.5 because of the above change. Skip several versions due to divergent development. - Set the type of all other vhdl-compiler-alist entries to nil to explicitly declare them as error messages. - Update the Xilinx Vivado compiler entry's library directory, it must end with '/'. By defining the error message type to be nil rather than 2, we can forego the backwards compatibility code.
