Warning "coverpoint is not dumped to the coverage database because all bins are empty""

Hi, While i m running my code i got the following warnings: "cover point is not dumped to the coverage database because all bins are empty". There are ignore bins used in these cover points like: ignore_bins ib=[a:b] when i comment these ignore_bins warning wont come. Please tell me what wrong i have done with the declaration of these ignore_bins.

    I believe your ignore_bins has ignored all the bins that you've tried to cover.  If you have crosses it's not obvious to get the exact bins you want ignored/illegal.  I can send you a short presentation on ignore/illegal bins if you want.  tmackett@cadence.com

    Notice this simple example:

    > irun ignore_bins.sv -coverage U -line -covoverwrite

    ---File: ignore_bins.sv

     module random_bins;

    integer a;
      
    covergroup cg1;
    c1: coverpoint a {
        bins low = {[1:5]};
        bins high = {[6:10]};
        ignore_bins prime = {[1:10]};   <--- notice this eiliminates all possible values
     }
    endgroup

    cg1 cover_inst = new ();

    initial
    begin
       repeat (10) begin
       a = $urandom_range(10,1);
       cover_inst.sample();
      end // for
    end  // initial

    endmodule
    ------------------------

     ncsim: *W,WCOVPT: ./illegal_bins.sv:6: The coverpoint 'random_bins.cover_inst.c1' is not dumped to the coverage database because all bins are empty.
