Description
axi_xbar_unmuxed doesn't parse with (our version of) Xcelium because of problems with multi dimensional interfaces. I see the same problem has come up with VCS which was fixed in 14fbbf5
Two thoughts here
- My experience tells me that it's best to avoid multi-dimensional interfaces completely because of poor tool support
- Use something like
`ifdef NO_MULTI_DIM_ARRAYS
instead of`ifdef VCS
. It's not a good idea to have tool-specific ifdefs. It's better to name the ifdef after the actual missing feature (e.g.`ifdef NO_MULTI_DIM_ARRAYS
in this case) I had the same comment a couple of years ago around assertions where there were a lot of`ifdef VERILATOR
. When we wanted to run this in XSIM, we had to also add a layer of`ifdef XSIM
and then after a while, Verilator started to support assertions which made things more confusing. Having e.g. an`ifdef ASSERTIONS
and controlling when to set that through the build system would help in these cases.
