15.6.11.1. ebfm_display Verilog HDL Function

The ebfm_display procedure or function displays a message of the specified type to the simulation standard output and also the log file if ebfm_log_open is called.

A message can be suppressed, simulation can be stopped or both based on the default settings of the message type and the value of the bit mask when each of the procedures listed below is called. You can call one or both of these procedures based on what messages you want displayed and whether or not you want simulation to stop for specific messages.

  • When ebfm_log_set_suppressed_msg_mask is called, the display of the message might be suppressed based on the value of the bit mask.
  • When ebfm_log_set_stop_on_msg_mask is called, the simulation can be stopped after the message is displayed, based on the value of the bit mask.

Syntax

Verilog HDL: dummy_return:=ebfm_display(msg_type, message);

Argument

msg_type

Message type for the message. Should be one of the constants defined in Constants: Verilog HDL Type INTEGER.

message

The message string is limited to a maximum of 100 characters. Also, because Verilog HDL does not allow variable length strings, this routine strips off leading characters of 8’h00 before displaying the message.

Return

always 0

Applies only to the Verilog HDL routine.
