Questasim 6.6d Does not Compile Codec Example

[jkolisnyk]

Hi,

I have been using Questasim 6.6d on Linux to run all of the uvm-1.0p1 examples. All examples compile and run except for the Codec example. This example fails to compile with the following message:

# ** INTERNAL ERROR: (vsim-8603) Package 'uvm_pkg' has exported 9200 items, but 9204 items were expected.

# Region: /tb_top

The complete log file is as follows:

# vsim +UVM_VERBOSITY=UVM_MEDIUM -do {run -all; q} -l questa.log -c -sv_lib ../../../lib/uvm_dpi tb_top test

# ** Note: (vsim-3812) Design is being optimized...

I noticed that this is the only example that uses the "uvm_process" class for threading which is not documented in the UVM Class Reference Manual 1.0 nor in the UVM Users Guide 1.0. However this may be unrelated to the issue of not being able to compile.

Please let me know if there is a work-around for the Codec example or if a Questasim tool version update is required.

Thanks.

There is a Questa 6.6e release that might fix your problem. Questa 10.0a is the latest release and was the first release to incorporate the released UVM-1.0p1 directly. You should look at this article and try to run the example with the pre-compiled UVM package

Otherwise contact Mentor support directly.
