Description
This proposal extends Verilog 1364-2001 language to allow users to record transactions.
A collection of system tasks and functions are proposed which can be used to explicitly record
transactions. A method for automatic transaction recording is proposed, in which no
additional code needs to be added to a design. Extensions to the VCD format are proposed
so that transactions can be represented in a recording file. Finally, extensions to VPI are proposed
to allow access to transaction objects in the design, and to transaction recording activity.
