Can uvm_config_db config event type variable?

[mrforever]

Hi experts,

I am now using uvm_config_db to config event variable, but encountering such a compiling error. The piece of codes and compiling error are listed as follow:

Codes:

File1: tb_top.sv

...

event event_tmp;

uvm_config_db#(event)::set(uvm_root::get(), "*", "event_tmp", event_tmp);

...

File2: config_monitor.sv

...

event event_tmp;

uvm_config_db#(event)::get(this, "", "event_tmp", event_tmp);

...

Compiling error:

Error-[sE] Syntax error

Following verilog source has syntax error :

"../sv_for_tmptest/02_master/config/config_monitor.sv", 67: token

is 'event'

uvm_config_db#(event)::get(this, "", "event_tmp", event_tmp);

If i change the event keyword to int keyword, the compiling error disappears.

Does uvm_config_db cann't config event type variable?

Looks you are using VCS

If yes, what command line are you using?

Yes, I am using VCS, command line is: ./simv +UVM_VERBOSITY=UVM_LOW +UVM_TESTNAME=test_config -l run.log

Looks like VCS doesn't support class specializations with the event datatype.

My suggestion is to use uvm_event class to achieve the required functionality.
