Hi,
here below a stupid code to show a problem that I can't understand.
I have a 8 bit register (myReg) and a clk.
On each rising edge of clk a process should set myReg(0 to 1) to '0' using a for loop and another process (always on each ris. edge) set the other bits to '0' as well .
When I simulate (tried more simulators) I get zeroes on myReg(0 to 1) (ok) but U on the others (2 to 7). WHY?

If I don't use the for loop (and I simply use assignments) it works.
If I move the assignments done by the second process, after the end loop line of the first process it works.
