uvm_reg_field.get_access() method returns wrong value

[Petr Kobiersky]

Dear UVM users,

We are trying to write generic sequence for register field verification based on access type of the field. When we set the access type of particular register field to WO1 in the register class and this field is in WO register I expect that get_access method for the reg_field will return me WO1. Instead it gives me NOACCESS

Looking into code itself seems when register is WO, case statement inside returns WO for RW and WO registers but for all other types of registers it returns NOACCESS. It looks to me like a bug. If there is some idea why it is implemented like that could someone explain? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Thank you

Petr Kobiersky

hi, could it be that this is a UVM earlier than UVM-IEEE? if thats the case then you probably hit  a known issue.
