mailbox doesn't support integer types

archive

IUS6.1 now supports mailboxes, and they seem to work fine with classes.  However, trying to call put or get on the mailbox with an integer type causes a compilation error.

1800-2005 says that mailboxes should work with any singular type, and singular is described in 4.13 which I take to mean includes the integer types.

Am I missing something?  I don't think I tried using a parameterized mailbox instead, but I'll try that shortly and post if it works.  I believe it should work whether the mailbox is parameterized or not.

    IUS6.1USR4 doesn't appear to support parameterized mailboxes at all, unless I'm just clobbering the syntax

    mailbox #(int) mb;

    or
    class pkt;
    int data;
    endclass : pkt
    mailbox #(pkt) mb;

    It would seem that only plain mailboxes are supported, and that only object handles may be put in them

    IUS62 will have mailbox support for int, shortint, longint, integer, bit, byte, logic, reg and packed arrays of bit, logic, and reg. IUS62 is in beta now and production late Q4.

    OK. And I just found this morning the pages that state the limitations on the current Mailbox support, as well as the list of supported SystemVerilog features. Which leads me to ask... Is there a list of items in 1800-2005 that aren't supported for the current release, and now that you mention IUS62 a list of new SV features coming in that release?

    Oh, and thanks for the answer to my question. It's too bad more of that info isn't linked directly off of the download page for the releases. I had to get view the README, copy and paste a URL out of it into the browser, then click around some to find that info out.

    I also noticed when I found the docs that Array manipulation methods aren't currently supported. Will they be in IUS62 as well?
