Description

Print name of the HDL process scopes waiting inside a subprogram in textual format.

Arguments

-of_instance - (Optional) Specifies the instance to report the stacks from.

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

Examples

Example design:

module top;
       int i;
       function void f(input int in1);
           automatic int a;
           a = in1 + 7;
           $display($time, " in f :: a %d in1 %d ", a, in1);
       endfunction
       task automatic t(input int in2);
           int b;
           b = in2 + 10;
           $display($time, " in t :: in2 %d b %d ", in2, b);
           #5;
           f(b);    // Case C
           $display($time, " Back in t : after wait and f(%d) ", b);
       endtask
       initial begin                         // "/top/Initial18_0"
           $display($time, " in initial 1 ");
           i = 200;
           t(i);        // Case B
           $display($time, " Back in initial 1 after t(%d) ", i);
       end
       initial begin                         // "/top/Initial25_1"
           $display($time, " in initial 2 ");
           #2;
           f(50);       // Case A
           $display($time, " Back in initial 2 after f(50) ");
       end
   endmodule 

When simulation is stopped inside function "f" for its call at 'Case A' , the two processes /top/Initial18_0 and /top/Initial25_1, are waiting inside task "t" (call at 'CaseB') and function "f" (call at 'CaseA') respectively.
