The name_stack Class

During elaboration each instantiated VHDL object is assigned a unique name called instance name. The construction rules to generate instance names are defined in the LRM. name_stack is a stack based string class used to build names during elaboration. It stores the different parts an instance name is constructed of. New name parts may be stored on top of the stack via a push operation. With a subsequent pop operation the last stored name is removed from the stack.
