Also, this may be a trivial issue, but some places refer to `line and others have ‘line which makes it hard to search. <font size=2>Thanks! /*************************************************************** Chris Spear Verification Specialist Synopsys, Inc.

| Fix |
Proposal: Since there is no `file compile directives, we should remove the mention of it in the PLI sections. Resolution: REPLACE: Section 26.3.3 The properties vpiLineNo and vpiFile can be affected by the ‘line and ‘file compiler directives. See Section 19 for more details on these compiler directives. WITH: The properties vpiLineNo and vpiFile can be affected by the ‘line compiler directive. See Section 19.7 for more details on the 'line compiler directive. REPLACE: Section 26.6.1 Module: Note #3: 3—The properties vpiDefLineNo and vpiDefFile can be affected by the `line and `file compiler directives. See Section 19 for more details on these compiler directives. WITH: Note #3: 3—The properties vpiDefLineNo and vpiDefFile can be affected by the `line compiler directive. See Section 19.7 for more details on the 'line compiler directive. |

It looks like the fix is just to delete the reference to `file, as `line is the directive which can affect the file name. Note that vpiLineNo and vpiDefLineNo really are different properties. The reason you did not find both places is exactly because of that difference in the back tic character. It's not a trivial issue at all. It is just one example of a general case which is part of ETF issue #163. I renamed this issue and classified it as a PTF issue. > >I was looking for `line in the 1364-2001 document and found `file on the > >bottom of page 634 (PDF 647).

It started out being called the 'line and file' directive. the directive `line takes it all in now. The properties vpiDefLineNo and vpiDefFile are affected by the `line directive. The properties vpiLineNo and vpiFile also should be affected by the `line directive, no?! Can anyone explain the difference between these two sets of attributes?

Section 26.3.3 on page 627 makes the same statement for vpiLineNo and vpiFile. > Can anyone explain the difference between these two sets of attributes? For modules, vpiDefLineNo/vpiDefFile refer to the location of the module definition; whereas vpiLineNo/vpiFile refer to the location where the module is instantiated The exception is if the module is a top-level module, then they both refer to the location of the module definition. I don't know if there is explicit language anywhere documenting this, but this is the behavior I have observed with Verilog-XL and it seems like a reasonable interpretation. Analyzed by etf@boyd.com on Thu Mar 27 14:07:27 2003 Detailed analysis: The PLI section mentions the `file compiler directive in 2 places: Section 26.3.3 "The properties vpiLineNo and vpiFile can be affected by the ‘line and ‘file compiler directives. See Section 19 for more details on these compiler directives. These properties are applicable to every object that corresponds to some object within the HDL. The exceptions are objects of type:..." Section 26.6.1 Module: "Note #3: 3—The properties vpiDefLineNo and vpiDefFile can be affected by the `line and `file compiler directives. See Section 19 for more details on these compiler directives." Section 19.7 describes the 'line directive. The 'line directive syntax contains both the line number and the file name. There is no 'file directive |
