Possible XML Reader Package Contribution

[wwashington]

Is there any interest in accepting a XML reader package for inclusion in OVM? I wrote the reader for several AVM testbenches and must port the work over to OVM. The reader parses any XML file and creates a tree that can be walked to extract node attributes and text. It is used in our verification environment to control constraints and directed sequences.

I think it would be a nice addition to have. It can also be used as a register description template for defining configuration/register definitions similar to Synopsys Register Abstraction Layer (RAL) or Denali's SystemRDL.

Although the purpose here is mainly verification, the same format can be used to generate synthesizable RTL as well.

I think it is nice to have,
