Simulation error using Questa

[gFaurie]

Hy,

I am working on an IUS based SystemVerilog OVM verification environment. This environment is completely working with IUS using the OVM 1.0 libraries and I am currently trying to run the same environment using Questa 6.3d.
After some "little" adaptations, the compilation is now running well and I am facing an error when launching simulation:

# ** Error: (vsim-3978) /home/faurie/Methodology/ovm-1.0/src/base/ovm_registry.svh(29): Illegal assignment to String from class

This file is part of OVM package so I don't want to modify it, can you help me understand the error origin?

Regards,

Geoffrey

Hi Geoffrey:

The ovm_component_registry create_component is calling the new function of your type T component.

Since that is a component, the new function should have 2 arguments: string name, and ovm_component parent (the line where the error is being reported is calling the new function in your component).

It would appear that isn't true. I have two guesses at a remedy: 1) if you are using an object instead of a component, then you would want to use ovm_object_registry, or 2) Have your component new() function arguments match.

Thanks Andy for your answer,

It has help me understanding the problem and defining the code parts involved (simulation is passing when this code is not included). Unfortunately, I cannot shared this SystemVerilog code. I have identified all the "create_component" calling into this code and all of them are referring components with a new function having the good arguments.
Do you have any idea of an other origin of the problem?
Or can you give me some more "tools"/"methods" (I am not an expert user of Questa) to collect more info into the log file for instance?

Regards,

Geoffrey
