Verilog 2001 by Industry Tools Today

[rufrothy@gmail.com]

All,

The OVL Committee is discussing potentially using Verilog 2001
constructs in future releases the of the OVL Library. I know from my
own experiences that as recently as 6 months ago support for Verilog
2001 was not very robust across the industry. I am trying to gague
peoples opinions on this topic as well as gather info as to the current
state of Verilog 2001 support. I would apprecaite feedback from users
and verilog tool providers on their support of verilog 2001.

Who out there has a complete implimentation of Verilog 2001 in their
product?

Is it available today?

Any information provided will be of help to the OVL Committee

Thanks,
Sean Smith

Sean,

This is a comment from a user's perspective. I would like
to get as much functionality as possible from a newer OVL
version with as little new investment as possible at the
same time. If a new OVL module becomes unusable because
I have not subscribed to a yearly contract with a pricey
EDA company that has released V2K support in its last update,
to me that construct does not exist. IMHO, OVL should look into
incorporating more functionality (assert_arbiter is a good
example) using the base level supported language than using
language extensions that not everyone supports.
