This looks good overall. I left a couple of comments, and I also wanted to mention that it looks like there is a ghdl language server and it's supported by nvim-lspconfig. I know nothing about this ecosystem, but if that works, it may be an easier solution, since actual LSP servers will provide a better experience than null-ls.

I know nothing about this language or CLI tool, but judging from the documentation, it looks like there are multiple standards. Is this something we want to always set, or should we leave it up to users to configure?

Also, just so I understand: is the --workdir flag necessary because the program will otherwise compile and leave files in the current directory? If this is necessary then we may want to mention that the source will not work as expected on platforms that don't use /tmp.

Same comments for above apply here.

@jose-elias-alvarez I use mason.nvim, which is supposed to be the successor for nvim-lspconfig. I didn't see any reference to ghdl. |

I don't use mason.nvim, but I don't think it's supposed to replace nvim-lspconfig. nvim-lspconfig's role is to configure language servers, while (as I understand it) Mason's role is to manage the installation of language servers and other tools. Before moving forward with this PR, it would be good to confirm whether the language server provides the same functionality. |
Sorry for that. I think I confused nvim-lspconfig with nvim lsp installer. I don't use nvim-lspconfig directly, so I wouldn't know if the language server provides the same functionality. I user mason to do all the configuration / downloading of the lsp servers. |

That's fine then, let me know what you think about the other comments I left. There's also a failing CI step from |
