No error when uvm_component is created using create method

[shalsays]

When uvm_component is created using create method of uvm_factory its does not throw an error inspite of the following code in header "uvm_component.svh":-

// create

// ------

function uvm_object uvm_component::create (string name ="");

`uvm_error("ILLCRT",

"create cannot be called on a uvm_component. Use create_component instead.")

return null;

endfunction

Following is the code which I am using:-

class my_env extends uvm_env;

`uvm_component_utils(my_env)

//implementation of my_env

endclass

class my_tb extends uvm_component;

//implementation of testbench

my_env env_local;

function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);

super.build_phase(phase);

env_local = my_env::type_id::create("env_local", this);

endfunction : build_phase

endclass

Am I interpreting anything wrong here?Can we use create method to create a uvm_component?

Your example is correct.

I think you're confusing the component's own "create" method with the factory "create_object_by_type" method. The "create" method of a component is defined by `uvm_component_utils and uses the factory

"create_component_by_type" method like it is supposed to.

Thanks Jadec.

I learnt that after posting here.The confusion was with craete method.

create method called in the example is of create_component_by_type as I have called `uvm_component_utils before.

It is not the "create" of create_object_by_type.
