SVPP searches for `include[d] files even if it's turned off by conditional macros (`ifdef's)

Main

Hello,

 

I encounter a really strange behavior when compiling with svpp (-ovm). When I turn this switch on, compilation fails since

the compiler search unexisted `include files (which are shut off by `ifdefs)

it turns out that svpp still search for location of `include files no matter if they are disbled by ifdef contional MAcros.

When I compile without the svpp (-ovm) the compilation passes.

I really don't know what to do becuase I want to add OVM testbenches to the Environment but when I use the -ovm, compilation fails.

Does anyone ever faced this problem??

I would a appreciate some help very much.

Thanks

  • Hi,

    This is a known bug in IUS and since in IUS 8.2 parameterized type are supported,  the svpp will not extended anymore. Following is suggested workaround :

    A workaround is to have `ifndef SVPP around your own directives

    For example:
    ---- test.sv-----
    module test;
    `ifndef SVPP  //<== workaround
    `ifdef FOO
       `include "bogus.v"
    `else
       `include "good.v"
    `endif
    `endif //<== workaround
    endmodule
    ----------------

    This will turn off any -svpp processing of the items enclosed in the `ifndef SVPP block. 

    Best regards,
