uvm_globals——告诉这个世界我爱你

　　uvm_globals.svh 存放全局的变量和方法。当UVM平台启动时，便在uvm_globals查找相应的方法，uvm_globals 的方法实现也比较简单，就是调用uvm_root对应的方法。其简略源代码如下：

// used by components to coordinate when to end the currently running
// task-based phase. When all participating components have dropped their
// raised objections, an implicit call to <global_stop_request> is issued
// to end the run phase (or any other task-based phase).

endfunction

// controls whether subsequent settings will be honored.
