System Verilog final block limitations

[unfrostedpoptart]

Hi all.

I've been using final blocks to print diagnostics at the end of my simulations. However, I'm stuck trying to have several different modules print at the end of the test since I can't trigger them in a specified order since final blocks don't allow any timing control and must execute in zero time.

Any ideas or workarounds for this?

Thanks!

David

Are you saying that some blocks never get executed or just that the
prints get jumbled because they happen together? If it's the latter
you could print your diagnostics to files (one per block) and merge
the files in any order you like afterwards.

The latter. I've already implemented it as multiple files like you suggest but I was trying to avoid lots of little files. Oh well.

Can you have one final block that calls (using full pathnames) functions with contents that you would have put in individual final blocks?
