Hi Mario,

We didn’t discuss _nested_ functions in the [thread](http://discourse.myhdl.org/t/pass-large-intbv-to-helper-function/155/4) you mention, did we?  
I rarely used functions in VHDL as you describe here, and I certainly didn’t nest them. So far I haven’t hit this issue in MyHDL either, yet.  
I have no real idea how difficult it would be to implement in MyHDL. _At the beginning and the end it looks easy, but there is always a lot of work in between_ 😄

Regards,  
Josy
