UVM 1.1d in QuestaSim with -pedanticerrors

[tudor.timi 53]

Hi,

 

I've tried compiling UVM with QuestaSim and the switch "-pedanticerrors" but it complains in the file uvm_component.svh that virtual method calls are not allowed in the constructor because it can lead to unpredictable results. I know that in C++ the behavior of this scenario is clearly defined (it calls the method of the base class while inside the base class construct and the method of the derived class while in the derived class constructor), but is the same also clearly described in the SV LRM?

 

Thanks,

Tudor

This is not defined in the current LRM. See http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=2488

 

The reason Questa produces the warning is because other simulators have chosen to implement it differently than C++ and call the derived method in the base constructor. (at least this was the case when the message was implemented)
