Using Dynamically Allocated Memories (PLI)

MVERMA

Hi 

I am using cadence's pli for dynamically allocated memories. 

for system tasks:

damem_inith - there is one argument which needs file name in the following format:

"bin.dat". 

I would like to replace it by dynamic file name i.e <seed>.dat. So for each random test it will look for filename as <seed> .dat

Is it possible with this system tasks?

 

Thanks!

  • Try $value$plusargs(user_string, variable).

    This system function searches the list of plusargs on the command line for a specified string. The string is specified as the first argument to the system function. If the string is found, the remainder of the string (that is, the part of the string after the portion that matches the user_string) is converted into the specified format, and the resulting value is stored in the specified variable. For example:

    reg [8*32:1] testname

    ...

    if ($value$plusargs("TESTNAME=%s", testname))

      begin

        $display("Running test %0s.", testname);

        startTest();

      end

    If you invoke the simulator with the following command line, the variable testname gets the value good_test.

    % ncsim +TESTNAME=good_test [other_options] snapshot_name

    See 'cdnshelp' or Section 17.10.2 of the IEEE 1364-2001 standard for details on $value$plusargs.
