Re: OVM Utilities

Hi Dave,
The ovm library contains
1.base
2.utilities
3.macros

here macros are in the ovm_macros.svh file and what about the utilities.

Regards,
Aslam

Re: OVM Utilities

It would help to tell us where you got that list of 3 items.

Sometimes the word "utilities" is used to refer to certain classes that are there for you to use as an example, like the in_order_comparator.

Sometimes the word "utilities" is used to refer to certain functionality in the base class libraries that self-contained and may be used independently, like the reporting system or configuration mechanisms.

Sometimes the word "utilities" is used to refer to certain scripts that you write that generates code or other files to be used by your test.
