Uvm reporting macros not working

UVM
1

i am using the reporting macros shown here:
https://verificationacademy.com/verification-methodology-reference/uvm/docs_1.1c/html/files/macros/uvm_message_defines-svh.html

but when i use them i get an error:
Number of actuals and formals does not match in function call.

However the non-macro version of these macros works.

For example

This works:
uvm_report_fatal(get_type_name(), “Cast of rhs object failed”);

but not this:
`uvm_fatal(get_type_name(), “Cast of rhs object failed”)

it gives the error:

** Error: uvm_csv_seq_item.sv(55): Number of actuals and formals does not match in function call.

i have included the header files:

import uvm_pkg::*;
`include “uvm_macros.svh”

In reply to mreister:

Could you please post some code around the `uvm_fatal macro.
The error could be caused by the code around.

In reply to mreister:

look like it fixed it…

The problems was that i was passing the “+incdir+$UVM_HOME/src” when compiling my packages…

I left this off and now the errors went away…

In reply to mreister:

To be honest this is definitely not the reason the error message disappeared.
Then it would show something like " do not know this command".
The error message you were showing appears when your are implementing a `uvm_info with only 2 arguments.

In reply to chr_sue:

Christoph, yes it definitely is the reason. If the uvm_macros.svh file is from a newer version than the uvm_pkg you import, this is exactly the error you get.

UVM 1.2 added more arguments to uvm_report_fatal/error/warning/info. The UVM 1.2 macros supply more arguments to the report methods, which don’t exist in versions before 1.2
