 Hi,

When using ius, i'm getting this strange error

file: ./INCA_libs/irun.lnx86.08.10.nc/svpplib/tb.sv
                Caching library 'worklib' ....... Done
        Elaborating the design hierarchy:

        Generating native compiled code:

ncvlog_cg: *F,INTERR: INTERNAL ERROR

The tool has encountered an unexpected condition and must exit.

including the logfile that contains this error message.
  TOOL: ncvlog_cg       08.10-s008
  HOSTNAME: linux-pzu3
  OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux 2.6.27.21-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-03-31 14:50:44 +0200 x86_64
  MESSAGE: gq_cab_to_tab - not a CAB

ncelab: *E,CUVCGF: Code generation for worklib.tb:sv <0x7a91fa59> failed.
ncelab: *F,CGFAIL: Code generation failed for one or more modules.
irun: *E,ELBERR: Error during elaboration (status 2), exiting.

 

I wonder if somebody could even get me some advices about that, or any hints do find the origins of this error.

    In the past, someone had defined a covergroup with something like this:

        real xyz;
        covergroup abc;
            coverpoint ( xyz )...

    and that caused the crash similar to the one you've seen.

    In your ealier message, you said "I was mistakenly passing the top-level module to the -covdut switch". When you changed the list modules that you were covering, it is possible that this particular covergroup is no longer included in the coverage database and thus the crash didn't occur. If you change the list of modules again and they now include a troublesome covergroup, the crash can reappear.

    I just tried it out and I see that, for the latest versions of the software, the tool correct prints out an error message pointing to this particular problem if it appears in the source code. I'd recommend that you try updating the version if at all possible. If the problem remains, then it is a new one and sending a testcase to Cadence would be helpful. Or you could try to figure out which module you've just added by your new coverage command and try to see if any of its covergroups have unusual characteristics.
