2.18.1.2. Design Libraries - By default, the Compiler processes all design files into one or more libraries. - 2026-02-19

• When compiling a design instance, the Compiler initially searches for the entity in the library associated with the instance (which is the work library if you do not specify any library).
• If the Compiler cannot locate the entity definition, the Compiler searches for a unique entity definition in all design libraries.
• If the Compiler finds more than one entity with the same name, the Compiler generates an error. If your design uses multiple entities with the same name, you must compile the entities into separate libraries.
