Using the objection mechanism

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the objection mechanism to coordinate between different sequences.

Initially I used "TEST_DONE" but I saw that when the counter reach 0 it automatically start "end of test" which I would like to control my self.

To solve that I'm interested of extending a new kind of objection and for some reason I cant compile the file.

I've added the next code:

extend any_unit {
extend objection_kind: [NEW_KIND];
};

Can you direct me why my extension doesn't work? i tried also extending sys but then some of the units cant identify the new objection kind.

(I'm using e language)

Best regards,

Nir

Typically you would only raise and drop the objection to TEST_DONE from your MAIN sequence, so that you don't get that "gap" between sub-sequences.

There are some hints and suggestions here: Creating e Testbenches -- Managing Resets and End of Test - 13.2.2. End-Of-Test Mechanism

I read it but I'm still not sure - how can I extend more objections correctly? I tried extending in the MAIN sequence but still it fails.

Also - how can I cancel the automatic "end of test" when TEST_DONE is down to zero?

Are you saying you want the test to keep running even after the MAIN sequence ends? That would be quite unusual.

I don't think simply extending the definition of the objection kind will make any difference to your problem.
