本文深入探讨了SystemVerilog的DPI（Direct Programming Interface），详细介绍了如何通过DPI在SystemVerilog与C/C++等外部语言之间进行函数调用和数据交换。文章包括DPI导入和导出方法的概念，以及如何在SystemVerilog和C/C++中声明这些方法的具体示例。

SystemVerilog DPI C++

SystemVerilog DPI (Direct Programming Interface) is an interface which can be used to interface SystemVerilog with foreign languages. These Foreign languages can be C, C++, SystemC as well as others.

DPI allows the user to easily call functions of other language from SystemVerilog and to export SystemVerilog functions, so that they can be called in other languages.

Advantage of DPI is, it allows to make use of the code exists in other languages.

一、DPI Import and export methods

1、Import Method

The methods (functions/tasks) implemented in Foreign language can be called from SystemVerilog and such methods are called Import methods.

2、Export methods

The methods implemented in SystemVerilog can be called from Foreign language such methods are called Export methods.

It is allowed to transfer the data between two languages through arguments passing and return.

二、DPI Declaration

1、Import Declaration

import “DPI-C” function int calc_parity (input int a);

2、Export Declaration

export “DPI-C” my_cfunction = function myfunction;

3、SystemVerilog DPI Example

（1）Calling C++ method from SystemVerilog file

//----------------------------------------------
// SystemVerilog File
//----------------------------------------------
module dpi_tb;
 
  import "DPI-C" function void c_method();
   
  initial begin
    $display("Before calling C Method");
    c_method();
    $display("After calling C Method");
  end
   
endmodule
 
//----------------------------------------------
// C++ file
//----------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <svdpi.h>
 
extern "C" void c_method() {
 
  printf("     Hello World...!\n");
 
}

Simulator output:

Before calling C Method
[C-Prog] Hello World…!
After calling C Method

（2）Calling SystemVerilog method from C++ file

//----------------------------------------------
// SystemVerilog File
//----------------------------------------------

module dpi_tb;

  export "DPI-C" function sv_method;

  import "DPI-C" context function void c_method();   

  initial begin

    $display("Before calling C Method");

    c_method();

    $display("After calling C Method");

  end 

  function void sv_method();

    $display("  [SV-Prog]  Hello World...!");

  endfunction

endmodule

//----------------------------------------------
// C++ file
//----------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <svdpi.h>

using namespace std;

extern "C" void sv_method();

extern "C" void c_method() {

  printf("  [C-Prog]   Hello World...!\n");

  sv_method();

}

Simulator output:

Before calling C Method

[C-Prog] Hello World…!
[SV-Prog] Hello World…!
After calling C Method
