Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply.
This is about register database creation.
The text file is about 1000 lines with each line containing 10 words at max (each line is about a field).
And whether I create statically or at run-time, I need to create an object for each field (and register and regblock).
But if I do statically, the .sv file (created out of perl script) is 1000 * 20 lines big, and I include this into a class.
However, if I create objects run-time, I create an associative array of handles and all the configuration part, I do via one function call (.configure()).
Now I have doubt on which approach should I recommend in my TB: I prefer dynamic creation of register model rather than statically parsing a text file, dumping the relevant elements into a .sv file and including into a class.
I think this would speed up simulation a bit, because now it does not need to parse a 20* 1000 line .sv file? Can you please comment on this?
I know about register automation tools/scripts, but we do not intend to use any of them. So please do not recommend them.
Thanks in advance,
Sailaja.
