Can `uvm_pack* macros be used for integer over 64 bits?

[mastrick]

We want to pack a field of type bit[95:0] with big_endian. If we use `uvm_pack_intN(field,96), we lose 32 bits because the macro uses a temporary variable of type longint. Is there some other way to do this? If not, should uvm_pack_intN use uvm_bitstream_t like the unpack version does?

Thanks,

Mark

I agree this is a bug in the library. In fact, since you passed the exact size to the macro, there's no reason not to declare the data of the appropriate size. uvm_pack_intN is a utility macro, you can just copy that code into your own implementation and fix the size issue.
