21 UVM printer

uvm_printer 类提供了以不同格式打印 uvm_objects 的灵活性。我们已经讨论了使用 `uvm_field_* 宏的 print() 方法，或者如果不使用 utils_begin/ end 宏，则编写 do_print() 方法。

UVM printer提供四种内置printer。

1. uvm_printer
2. uvm_table_printer
3. uvm_tree_printer
4. uvm_line_printer

2 UVM Printer Classes

3 UVM printer knobs

uvm_printer_knobs 类为所有printer类型的printer设置提供了额外的可行性。

uvm_printer_knobs knobs = new

uvm_printer_knobs 类中声明的一些变量。

size：控制是否打印字段的大小。

depth：表示打印对象时的递归深度。

5 The print function defined in the uvm_object class

uvm_object 中的 print 函数实际上采用 uvm_printer 类类型作为参数。

function void uvm_object::print(uvm_printer printer=null);
  if (printer==null)
    printer = uvm_default_printer;
  if (printer == null)
    `uvm_error("NULLPRINTER","uvm_default_printer is null")
  $fwrite(printer.knobs.mcd,sprint(printer)); 
endfunction
