As you noticed, uvm_heartbeat is not registered with the factory. Also, none of its methods are virtual. So any use of your extended uvm_heartbeat would have to know about it anyway. So using the factory does not make much sense.
Hi Dave,
Many thanks for your quick response.
Out-of-curiosity, is this the right way of coding? What benefits or drawbacks we would encounter with this?
