uvm_dpi——DPI在UVM中的实现（一）

　　SystemVerilog DPI，全称SystemVerilog直接编程接口 （英语：SystemVerilog Direct Programming Interface）是SystemVerilog与其他外来编程语言的接口。能够使用的语言包括C语言、C++、SystemC等。直接编程接口由两个层次构成:SystemVerilog层和外来语言层。两个层次相互分离。对于SystemVerilog方面，另一边使用的编程语言是透明的，但它并不关注这一点。SystemVerilog和外来语言的编译器各自并不需要分析另一种语言的代码。由于不触及SystemVerilog层，因此支持使用不同的语言。不过，目前SystemVerilog仅为C语言定义了外来语言层。所以，每个函数DPI的文件都有*.svh和*.cc 两个文件，首先来看uvm_dpi.svh 该文件秉承了UVM风格，在该文件中实现include dpi目录下的所有文件。

uvm_dpi.svh源代码如下：

`ifndef UVM_DPI_SVH
`define UVM_DPI_SVH

//
// Top-level file for DPI subroutines used by UVM.
//
// Tool-specific distribution overlays may be required.
//
// To use UVM without any tool-specific overlay, use +defin+UVM_NO_DPI
//

`ifdef UVM_NO_DPI
  `define UVM_HDL_NO_DPI
  `define UVM_REGEX_NO_DPI
  `define UVM_CMDLINE_NO_DPI
`endif

`include "dpi/uvm_hdl.svh"
`include "dpi/uvm_svcmd_dpi.svh"
`include "dpi/uvm_regex.svh"

`endif // UVM_DPI_SVH

uvm_dpi.cc 的源代码如下：

//
// Top-level file that includes all of the C/C++ files required
// by UVM
//
// The C code may be compiled by compiling this top file only,
// or by compiling individual files then linking them together.
//

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "uvm_dpi.h"
#include "uvm_common.c"
#include "uvm_regex.cc"
#include "uvm_hdl.c"
#include "uvm_svcmd_dpi.c"

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

uvm_dpi.cc 和uvm_dpi.svh相比多了<stdlib.h>标准库，"uvm_dpi.h"头文件和"uvm_common.c"源文件。

让我们看看uvm_dpi.h头文件（C语言的代码风格每个*.c文件配置一个*.h 文件），在该文件中声明了m_uvm_report_dpi和int_str_max（）函数。这两个函数的定义在uvm_common.c中。

//
// Top level header filke that wraps all requirements which
// are common to the various C/C++ files in UVM.
//

#ifndef UVM_DPI__H
#define UVM_DPI__H

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "vpi_user.h"
#include "veriuser.h"
#include "svdpi.h"
#include <malloc.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <regex.h>
#include <limits.h>

// The following consts and method call are for
// internal usage by the UVM DPI implementation,
// and are not intended for public use.
static const int M_UVM_INFO = ;
static const int M_UVM_WARNING = ;
static const int M_UVM_ERROR = ;
static const int M_UVM_FATAL = ;

static const int M_UVM_NONE = ;
static const int M_UVM_LOW = ;
static const int M_UVM_MEDIUM = ;
static const int M_UVM_HIGH = ;
static const int M_UVM_FULL = ;
static const int M_UVM_DEBUG = ;

void m_uvm_report_dpi(int severity,
                      char* id,
                      char* message,
                      int verbosity,
                      char* file,
                      int linenum);

int int_str_max( int );

#endif

让我们来看看uvm_common.c 的内容，这个文件就是实现了m_uvm_report_dpi()和int_str_max()函数.

// Implementation of common methods for DPI

extern void m__uvm_report_dpi(int,const char*,const char*,int,const char*, int);

#if defined(INCA) || defined(NCSC)
const static char* uvm_package_scope_name = "uvm_pkg::";
#else
const static char* uvm_package_scope_name = "uvm_pkg";
#endif

void m_uvm_report_dpi( int severity,
        char* id,
        char* message,
        int verbosity,
        char* file,
        int linenum) {
  svScope old_scope = svSetScope(svGetScopeFromName(uvm_package_scope_name));
  m__uvm_report_dpi(severity, id, message, verbosity, file, linenum);
  svSetScope(old_scope);
 }

int int_str_max ( int radix_bits ) {
    int val = INT_MAX;
    int ret = ;
    while ((val = (val /radix_bits)))
        ret++;
    return ret;
}
