Template classes with ncvlog 6.2

Hi,
What errors are you getting? Maybe parameterized class is not yet supported?

Hello Avidan,

Parameterized classes are supported in IUS6.1 and IUS6.2 using the -svpp command-line option to irun. The irun executable is able to recognize Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC, e and C/C++ files based on their file extension. If you are willing to use irun instead of "ncverilog" or ncvlog/ncelab/ncsim - it will be easy for you to use the parameterized class capability. Here is a small example I ran on IUS6.2:

module test;
class abc #(int width=8);
rand bit [width-1:0] data;
endclass : abc

abc #(4) my_class = new(); // width = 4
abc #() my_class2 = new(); // syntax for default width of 8

initial begin
void'(my_class.randomize()):
void'(my_class2.randomize());
$display(my_class.data,,my_class2.data);
end

endmodule : test

To run this example: % irun -svpp test.sv

I hope this helps.

Hi Kathleen,
>> if you're wiling to use irun...
irun, iraq whatever it takes to compile the thing I don't mind :-)

Thanks a lot, it works...
