extended messages thru compiletf

Hello VPI/PLI gurus,

is it possible to extend the simulator messages about the design?

What I need to know is, that I want to produce a dump of all
"`define"s, together with the filenames where they have been defined.
For example:

....
ACTIVE_LOW define is defined in "../../glbdef.v"
PCI_GRANTED define is dfined in "../pci/global/def.v"
....

and I want to do that in a compiletf routine, and ncelab must generate
me this dump after snapshot generation.

Is that technically possible?

Utku.

 

I don't believe that VPI/PLI provides access to macro definitions.

I don't believe `defines are seen by PLI - they are pre-processing
elements. How about using one of those open source pre-processors (a
google search for VPP might help) and tweak it a bit for your need?
