Hi,

I want to check my interface instance type by $typename, the compiler doesn’t like it and throw an compilation error. Can somebody help me to understand this conception?

interface bus;
  logic clk;
endinterface

module tb;
  bus busA();
  initial $display($typename(busA));
endmodule

In reply to mlsxdx:
No, an interface is not a data type. However a virtual interface is a data type.
