Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Hi,

I'm trying to compile C file that contain the following:

#include
#include
#include
#include "veriuser.h"
#include "acc_user.h"
....
....

s_tfcell veriusertfs[] = {
//{userfunction, 0, 0, fio_size32, myfclose, 0, "$myfclose"},
{usertask, 0, 0, 0, myfopen, 0, "$myfopen"},
{usertask, 0, 0, 0, myfclose, 0, "$myfclose"},
...
...
{0} //
};

the problem is that the compiler (gcc c-file.c -c -I /include -o c-file.o) didn't recognize s_tfcell veriusertfs[], I have get the following message:

//372: parse error before "veriusertfs"
//374: warning: braces around scalar initializer
//374: warning: (near initialization for `veriusertfsΎ]')
//374: `usertask' undeclared here (not in a function)
//374: initializer element is not constant
//374: (near initialization for `veriusertfsΎ]')
//374: warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
//374: warning: (near initialization for `veriusertfsΎ]')
//374: warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
...
...

All the include files are exist, what I'm missing?? are the include files too old??

Thanks, Benni.

Hi Benni.

Two points I noticed, though maybe you found these already...

1) You should probably include "vxl_veriuser.h" which defines the s_tfcell struct.
2) On you gcc line, make sure you have "-I `ncroot`/tools/include" in order to search the IUS include directory.

If you want to test the sanity of your Unix environment, you could also try compiling one of the example PLI applications that come with IUS. Look in the `ncroot`/tools/examples/pli directory and follow the README files there.

Thank you I forgot to inclode "vxl_veriuser.h".
Now the C file is compiled but I don't know how to do the link to C function, my C file is:

int myfopen()
//myfopen("./filename",FILE *stream),return 0;
{
char *filename;
FILE *fp;

acc_initialize();
//filename = (char*)(int)acc_fetch_tfarg(1);
filename = tf_getcstringp(1);
fp = fopen(filename, "r" );
if(fp)
{
tf_putp(2, (int)(fp));//return the fp
acc_close();
if(DEBUG) io_printf("open the %s success!\n",filename);
tf_putp(ARG_RET, true); //return the true
}
else
{
acc_close();
if(DEBUG) io_printf("open the %s fail!\n",filename);
tf_putp(ARG_RET, false);
}
return 0;
}

my SV code for using the C file is:
initial
begin
integer fp;
$myfopen("./script.txt",fp);
....
end

I tried to use the DPI-C declaration as the followin:
import "DPI-C" function myfopen(input char filename, output integer FILE);
import "DPI-C" function myfopen(input char "./script.txt", output integer FILE);
import "DPI-C" context function myfopen(input char "./script.txt", output integer FILE);
import "DPI-C" function int myfopen();

and more but I have some cpmpilation error.
Do you have any idea what I should do?

Thanks in advanced, Benni.

sorry, "myopen(...)" is task and I changed the import accordingly but it still not work

import "DPI-C" context task myfopen(input string "./script.txt", output FILE fp);

ncvlog: *E,EXPIDN (../monitor/mon_top.sv,48|65): expecting an identifier Α.2]Α.8]Α.9(IEEE)].

import "DPI-C" context task myfopen(input string "./script.txt", output FILE fp);

HI Benni

It is not clear to me whether you are trying to use PLI or DPI. If you want to use DPI, you do not need to include any vxl_veriuser.h files and do not need to code it like a PLI method. While using DPI, simply code up your C function as you would as if you were calling that function from within C. Then you put your import DPI-C calls in the verilog/system verilog code and use as if they are verilog/system verilog task. You do not need to use $myopenfunc instead use myopenfunc.

Also while using DPI, use the following declaration:
import "DPI-C" function int myfopen (string filename); (I am not sure if NC supports string as argument presently)

Sorry it's my mistake I confused between PLI and DPI. of course I want to use PLI.
I compiled the C file by:
       gcc open_cmd.c -c -I/include -o open_cmd.o
       ld -G open_cmd.o -o libpli.so

and I get the following errors

$myfopen("./script.txt",fp);
