Description

It would be nice if we could run the same TB against THs configured differently (different genercis). Either teach VUnit how to do that, do some sort of pre-processing and then point VUnit to a set of generated TBs which were identical aside from the TH.

This is possible in vunit, but we need some thinking for how this would be exposed up to the build system so that things generate and are reported correctly.

Research direction

Start by examining the VUnit integration and the build-system path that generates and reports testbenches. Compare the proposed VUnit configuration approach with preprocessing into multiple generated testbenches. Done means the same testbench runs against differently configured THs and the generated tests are reported correctly.
