Description
Returns list of HDL scopes for all the processes in a design which are waiting inside a subprogram. With -of_instance switch, the output can be limited to such processes of the given instance only.
Arguments
-of_instance <HDL_Instance_scope> - (Optional) Get the list of processes (waiting inside a sub-program) for the specified HDL instances only.
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the
set_msg_config command.Examples
The following example gets a list of all sites available on the target device:
module top;
int i;
function void f(input int in1);
automatic int a;
a = in1 + 7;
$display($time, " in f :: a %d in1 %d ", a, in1);
endfunction
task automatic t(input int in2);
int b;
b = in2 + 10;
$display($time, " in t :: in2 %d b %d ", in2, b);
#5;
f(b); // Case C
$display($time, " Back in t : after wait and f(%d) ", b);
endtask
initial begin // "/top/Initial18_0"
$display($time, " in initial 1 ");
i = 200;
t(i); // Case B
$display($time, " Back in initial 1 after t(%d) ", i);
end
initial begin // "/top/Initial25_1"
$display($time, " in initial 2 ");
#2;
f(50); // Case A
$display($time, " Back in initial 2 after f(50) ");
end
endmoduleWhen simulation is stopped inside function "f" for its call at 'Case A' , the two processes
/top/Initial18_0, and /top/Initial25_1, are waiting inside task "t" (call at 'CaseB') and function "f" (call at 'CaseA') respectively.
