In reply to chr_sue:
Thanks. That’s what I did, for both series of sequences up all 4 levels of layers. That’s how I know I need to see what the sequencer has to say about it. The uvm_info (above) is issued before the start_item, but I’ve even peppered each step of the sequencer body with uvm_info’s. All those can tell me is what goes on before finish_item.
I’ve got two sequences, both uvm_infoing that they are running, all is well, but what actually happens is that the second to report is jumping in. Or so say the uvm_infos by order or reporting.
I’ll do some more digging into the under-the-hood order of the get_next_item and start/finish_item events.
