[sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] Monitor on class handle.

Dave, 1750 says,
"Each element that is a singular type shall print its value as follows:

* A chandle, class handle, event, or virtual interface shall print its
value in an implementation dependent format, except that a null handle
value shall print the word null."

What is meant by the "value" of these? What is going to be printed (in
an implementation-dependent format)? Daniel thinks it means the fields
(properties, I guess) of the class in the case of a class handle. It's
not clear to me that that is the 'value' of the handle.

Thanks,
Shalom

	But %p will display field values under that handle.
	 What if we want to monitor only if the handle adress will
change - ie after new or after assigning to that handle another handle?
IMHO it will be enough to print just address.

	Class handles, chandles, events, or virtual interface handles do
not have any corresponding format specifiers other than %p (Mantis 1750)

	 

	I believe Mantis 1971 is currently open to address the issue
when a non-aggregate (singular) value is used without a valid format
specifier. I believe that it should be illegal unless there is an
implicit cast defined to a type suggested by the format specifier.

	Should class handle be allowed directly in $monitor ($display)?

	Mantis <http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/view.php?id=331> 0000331 do
not cover this.

	 

	EXAMPLE:

	 

	module top;
	 class C;
	      int i;  
	 endclass
	 C c;
	 initial   $monitor ("handle monitor: %t > %b",$time, c);
//<<is this monitor correct?
	endmodule
