Can I use .o files of compiled c files and use that to compile SV files for DPI

In reply to dave_59:

Thanks Dave,

I found that I can’t delay the execution of C code which requires outside simulator inputs.
i.e.
//SV_file.c

program main; 

import "DPI-C" context function void import_task();

initial 
begin 
  $display("SV: Print 1 %0t",$time); 
  #10000;
  $display("SV: Print 2 %0t",$time); 
  for(int i=0; i<3; i++) begin
    import_task();
  end
  $display("SV: Print 3 %0t",$time); 
end 

endprogram

//C_file

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cimports.h"

void import_task()
{ 
  int a;
  printf("Please input an integer value: ");
  scanf("%d", &a);
  printf("\nYou entered: %d\n", a);
}

//Simulation OUTPUT

run -all

1
2
3

SV: Print 1 0

SV: Print 2 10000

Please input an integer value:

You entered: 1

Please input an integer value:

You entered: 2

Please input an integer value:

You entered: 3

SV: Print 3 10000

Here I have two display statements before calling C function though I have to enter 3 inputs before SV simulation begins.
No doubt I got the outputs of C function on simulation time. But I have to delay execution of C function after displaying two statements. Is is possible?
