Enumeration tracing

[ecco 1]

I'm trying to keep track of an enumeration... the code is pretty simple:

 

 

   public:

      enum req_type_t

      {

         DMA_WRITE,

         DMA_READ,

         LAT_WRITE,

         LAT_READ,

         NONE // Used to intialize the variable when the constructor is called without parameters

      };

 

      inline friend void sc_trace(sc_trace_file *tf, const req & m, const std::string & NAME )

      {

         const char* names[] = {"WRITE", "READ", "LAT_WRITE", "LAT_READ", "NONE"};

         sc_trace(tf, m.req_type, NAME+".req_type", names);

      (...)

 

When I run it tells me that enum tracing is deprecated... what is the current enum tracing method?

As far as I know there isn't one.

 

sc_trace of enumeration types was already deprecated in 1666-2005.

 

I suppose part of the problem is that VCD itself doesn't support enumeration types (I'm assuming VCD as defined in 1364-2001).

I've just checked the SystemVerilog standard 1800-2012, and enums are dumped as the underlying data type of the enum (which defaults to 32 bit integer in SystemVerilog).
