how to display UVM_VERBOSITY

[ljepson74]

How do I display the name string of the UVM_VERBOSITY?

 

I have been using this to report the verbosity level, but it returns an int.

m_rh.get_verbosity_level()

 

 

How would you display the enumerated name as opposed to the enumerated value?

 

I'm looking at section "6.19 Enumerations" of the LRM (1800-2012.pdf) and close, but not there yet, so I punt this question out into the ether.

.name() seems like it should be in there somewhere.

You can use enum_var.name() to return a string of the literal stored in enum_val (section 6.19.5.6 of the LRM).

Just as an aside, you can also use the %p formatter to display enumerated types (and pretty well anything else), e.g.

 

$display("Verbosity is %p", m_rh.get_verbosity_level() );

 

The disadvantage of %p compared to Tudor's string is that %p tends to print things out more verbosely (ironic in this case!)

P.S. You might have to cast m_rh to the type of the verbosity level in that context.
