In E (specman) I want to declare variables that are lists, and I want to fix their lengths. It's easy to do for a member of a struct: thread[2] : list of thread_t; while for a "regular" variable in a function the above doesn't work, and I have to do something like: var warned : list of bool; gen warned keeping { it.size() == 5; ...
I've heard so much about Textmate - The Missing Editor for Mac and that it is the best one for Ruby. What is your choice? And what is the best Ruby editor on Windows? E? ...
I work with a bunch of sets in order to generate constrained random traffic, but I want to be able to call a Specman macro that computes the complement of a set with syntax like: COMPLEMENT begin domain=[0..10,24..30], complmenting_set=[2..3,27..30] end and have it generate: [0..1,4..10,24..26] Every time I need the complemen...
I want to be able to specify the file name stem for the log file in a Specman test. I need to hard-code the main *.elog filename so that I don't get variance between tests and confuse the post-processing scripts. Is there a constraint or command line I can pass into Specman? ...
I have a variable that I want to generate a few times in the same function, each time with the same set of constraints. Can I set the constraints once and the just gen it many times? That is, instead of this: var a:uint; gen a keeping {it in [100..120];}; // some code that uses a . . . gen a keeping {it in [100..120];}; // some code t...
In Specman, how can I tell if a reference to a unit has the do-not-generate modifier, '!', at the reference's definition? e.g. unit foo_u { }; extend sys { foo : foo_u is instance; foo_ptr_generated : foo_u; keep foo_ptr_generated == foo; !foo_ptr_notgenerated : foo_u; connect_pointers() is also { foo_ptr_notgene...
I want to count the number of set bits in a uint in Specman: var x: uint; gen x; var x_set_bits: uint; x_set_bits = ?; What's the best way to do this? ...
Where can I find an updated syntax file for specman? There are a number of these on the web, but I want one with recommendations. ...
We are supposed to calculate e^x using this kind of formula: e^x = 1 + (x ^ 1 / 1!) + (x ^ 2 / 2!) ...... I have this code so far: while (result >= 1.0E-20 ) { power = power * input; factorial = factorial * counter; result = power / factorial; eValue += result; counter++; iterations++; } My problem now is tha...
How do I return an array from a method call in Specman? E.g. method a : list of uint is { var data: list of uint; ..... result = data; }; extend sys { var data_sys: list of uint; run() is also { data_sys = a(); }; }; My print out shows some elements are different from array data and data_sys. Can you tell me what I mi...
Supposing I have a string: str = “ab,cd,ef” and I want to split it into a list lst = [“ab”,”cd”,ef”] How can I do it best, assuming that I don’t know ahead of time how many items are in the string? Basically I'm looking for a specman equivalent to Perl's: $str = "ab,cd,ef"; @lst = split /,/, $str; ...
I have the following code in specman: var x := some.very.long.path.to.a.variable.in.another.struct; while (x == some_value) { //do something that uses x; //wait for something //get a new value for x x = some.very.long.path.to.a.variable.in.another.struct; }; Now, it seems wasteful to write the assignment to x twice; ...
Specman has the apply() method to perform the same action on all elements of a list: var a: list of int; a = somefunction.that.returns.list.of.int(); var b:= a.apply(it * 2); Where apply() does the same as: for each in a { b.add(it.*2); }; Now, if I want to call a method on the elements of a, I can use apply() so long as the me...
Hi, I'm new to E Text Editor. I have a project saved locally on my computer, that replicates a folder saved on my server. When I use my php IDE (PhpEd) and save a change to the locally saved file, it automatically updates the respective file on my server. Can I customize E Text Editor to do this also? It would save lots of time! Than...
Is there a reduce() list method in Specman that I can use for general reduction functions? I'm thinking of something like: var x: list of bit = some_function_that_returns_list_of_bit; var bitmap: uint = x.reduce(foo()); where reduce() works like in Python: foo(last: uint, val: bit) is: uint { return (last << 1 ) | bit; }; ...
In Specman I can convert a variable to a string using either: x.to_string(); or x.as_a(string); Is there any difference between the two? If not, why does Specman provide both? ...
I have a struct in specman: struct foo_s { event foo_ev; // some code that will emit foo_ev sometimes }; And a list: var foo_l: list of foo_s; // later code will manage the list And now I want to sync on any of the foo_ev events in the list: first of { sync @foo_l[0].foo_ev; sync @foo_l[1].foo_ev; sync @foo_l...
Hi, The regular expression ^(((\d{3}) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4}$ matches strings of the form XXX-XXX-XXXX and XXX-XXXX (am I missing out something?) It doesn't, however, match (XXX) XXX-XXXX and (XXX) XXX-XXX-XXXX as well (which I need it to match). Can you help me fix it so that it matches the formats XXX-XXX-XXXX, XXX-XXXX, (XXX) ...
