PLI Tracing in NC-Verilog or VCS?

[Paul Hartke]

Hi all,

Modelsim has a command line option, "-trace_foreign", that saves a trace
of the pli calls to a dumpfile during a simulation run. However, I have
been unable to locate a similar capability in either NC-Verilog or VCS.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

Thanks.
Paul

Hi Paul,

Latest version and patch of NC (LDV50) support a switch called
-dumpstack to dump the stack in case of problem in user PLI. You can
contact cadence support to get the latest patch.

Regards
Mayank
