7.3 Passing interface handle down the hierarchy in UVM

axi_inf接口句柄存储或设置在配置数据库中，在env类中field_name是axi_interface。在低层次driver类中，使用相同的field_name检索或获取。

1. set method 调用

class env extends uvm_env;
    interface axi_if axi3_inf (clk , reset);
  ...
  `uvm_component_utils(env)


   
  function new(string name = "env", uvm_component parent = null);
    super.new(name, parent);
  endfunction
  
  function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
    super.build_phase(phase);
    uvm_config_db #(virtual axi_if)::set(null, "*", "axi_interface", axi3_inf );
    ...
  endfunction
  ...
  ...
endclass

2. get method 调用

class my_driver extends uvm_agent;
   virtual interface axi_if axi3_vif;;
  ...
  `uvm_component_utils(my_driver )
   
  function new(string name = "my_driver", uvm_component parent = null);
    super.new(name, parent);
  endfunction
  
  function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
    super.build_phase(phase);
    uvm_config_db #(virtual axi_if)::get(this, "*", "axi_interface", axi3_vif)
    ...
  endfunction
  ...
  ...
endclass

3. 例子

A set() call is used to store resources with field_name = value for hierarchy as uvm_test_top.env_o.agt_A.*

get()被调用：

1. uvm_test_top.env_o–Error
2. uvm_test_top.env_o.agt_A.comp_A和uvm_test _ top.env_ o.agt-A.comp_B–Pass
3. uvm_test_top.env_o.agt_B.comp_X和uvm_test _top.ev_o_agt_B.comp_Y–Error
