loading VHPI library on irun

Hi,

I am trying to load vhpi library for irun simulation. I used -loadvhpi option but it doesn't seem working correctly. even I cannot see loading failure messages. Could you please help me how to load vhpi library on irun? This VHPI library was used for ncsim. Can I use the same so file for irun as well?

Thanks,

Yong

    Thanks, StephenH

     Actually I was investigating something before posting because I was not using '-elaborate' option. I thought it's logically elaboration stage but in fact it compiles and elaborates the top-level testbench with '-top' and '-c' although there are some compilation stages for a number of IPs as libraries. I put '-loadvhpi' option in the stage of elaboration happening and it works with running simulation with the same '-loadvhpi' and '-r'.

     I am trying to really separate the stages with -elaborate option for just personal interest but I have not made it working. :-) Maybe I can add some more info if I find any interesting.

    Thanks a lot for your help, guys
