Find an instance path from within a moduleing

[John Eaton]

I have some modules that monitor their states and will print out
error messages if something illegal happens. How can I also have
the mesage print out its instance path? IE:


23456780 ps Lock up error in chip.chip_core.foo.sm1

$display("%t Lock up error in %m",$time);

John,
Try using %m within your $display, it does exactly what you have asked for.
