uvm中sprint的用法详解

class jelly_bean_sb_subscriber extends uvm_subscriber#( jelly_bean_transaction );
  function void write( jelly_bean_transaction t );
    `uvm_info( get_name(), { "using uvm_default_printer\n",t.sprint() }, UVM_LOW ) // use uvm_default_printer

2 Output of sprint using uvm_default_table_printer

`uvm_info( get_name(), { "using uvm_default_table_printer\n", t.sprint( uvm_default_table_printer ) }, UVM_LOW )

This output is exactly same as the above.

UVM_INFO env.svh(138) @ 185: uvm_test_top.jb_env.jb_sb [jb_sb] using uvm_default_table_printer ----------------------------------------------------------------- Name Type Size Value ----------------------------------------------------------------- jb_tx sugar_free_jelly_bean_transaction - @861 name string 5 jb_tx flavor string 10 BUBBLE_GUM color string 3 RED sugar_free integral 1 'h1 sour integral 1 'h1 taste string 5 YUMMY ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Output of sprint using uvm_default_tree_printer The uvm_default_tree_printer outputs the object in a tree form. `uvm_info( get_name(), { "using uvm_default_tree_printer\n", t.sprint( uvm_default_tree_printer ) }, UVM_LOW )

UVM_INFO env.svh(140) @ 185: uvm_test_top.jb_env.jb_sb [jb_sb] using uvm_default_tree_printer jb_tx: (sugar_free_jelly_bean_transaction@861) { name: jb_tx flavor: BUBBLE_GUM color: RED sugar_free: 'h1 sour: 'h1 taste: YUMMY }

4 Output of sprint using uvm_default_line_printer

The uvm_default_line_printer outputs the same information as the uvm_default_tree_printer does, but in one line.

`uvm_info( get_name(), { "using uvm_default_line_printer\n",  t.sprint( uvm_default_line_printer  ) }, UVM_LOW )

UVM_INFO env.svh(142) @ 185: uvm_test_top.jb_env.jb_sb [jb_sb] using uvm_default_line_printer jb_tx: (sugar_free_jelly_bean_transaction@861) { name: jb_tx flavor: BUBBLE_GUM color: RED sugar_free: 'h1 sour: 'h1 taste: YUMMY }

5 Output of convert2string

There is another function available in uvm_object called convert2string that will return a string instead of printing the contents in a predefined format. This allows you to define the output into a format you like. For example, we can simply print contents into a single line as shown.

xclass Object extends uvm_object;

  rand e_bool 				m_bool;
  rand bit[3:0] 			m_mode;
  rand byte 				m_data[4];
  rand shortint 			m_queue[$];
  string 					m_name;

  constraint c_queue { m_queue.size() == 3; }

  function new(string name = "Object");
    super.new(name);
    m_name = name;
  endfunction

  // Use "do_print" instead of the automation macro
  `uvm_object_utils(Object)

  virtual function string convert2string();
    string contents = "";
    $sformat(contents, "%s m_name=%s", contents, m_name);
    $sformat(contents, "%s m_bool=%s", contents, m_bool.name());
    $sformat(contents, "%s m_mode=0x%0h", contents, m_mode);
    foreach(m_data[i]) begin
      $sformat(contents, "%s m_data[%0d]=0x%0h", contents, i, m_data[i]);
    end
    return contents;
  endfunction



class base_test extends uvm_test;
  `uvm_component_utils(base_test)
  function new(string name = "base_test", uvm_component parent=null);
    super.new(name, parent);
  endfunction

  function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
    Object obj = Object::type_id::create("obj");
    obj.randomize();
    `uvm_info(get_type_name(), $sformatf("convert2string: %s", obj.convert2string()), UVM_LOW)
  endfunction
endclass

module tb;
	initial begin
		run_test("base_test");
	end
endmodule
