Critical Issue
If you run an abstract PHY simulation with ModelSim and certain versions of TCl, including version 8.4.11, a syntax error similar to the following may occur:
# extra characters after close-brace
# while compiling
# "lappend files {*}[ findFiles ]
# "
# ("foreach" body line 2)
# while compiling
# "foreach dir {
# lappend files {*}[ findFiles ]
# }"
# (compiling body of proc "findFiles", line 4)
# invoked from within
# "findFiles "../../../../." "altera_emif_nios_forces_abphy.sv"
"
# invoked from within
# "join [ findFiles "../../../../." "altera_emif_nios_forces_abphy.sv" ] \n
"
# invoked from within
# "set force_files [ join [ findFiles "../../../../."
"altera_emif_nios_forces_abphy.sv"
] \n ]"
# (file "altera_emif_check_abphy_nios_forces.tcl" line 34)
The workaround for this problem is to do one of the following:
- Type source from within the ModelSim command prompt, which will use a different version of Tcl.
- Change the version of Tcl in use to a different version, such as 8.5.9.
This problem is fixed in version 15.1.1.
