hi friends:
I am a novice to systemc SCV lib AND I am having some problems .I have written a short piece of code which simply constraint several variables ,but when I am compiling and running this code .I get the following errors! but I don't know what the SCV_ERROR means?thanks in advance !



*** SCV_ERROR: CONSTRAINT_ERROR_OVER_CONSTRAINED at time 4395111 ns in process <main>
Constraints for over-constrained object '' will be ignored.

Hi,
It means that your constraints are conflicting and hence the solver is unable to solve them. Show us the piece of code that has your constraints.

BTW - do you use with NC? It may have some constraint debugger to assist. I have heard that Specman has a decent constraint debugger but that works on e-code, perhaps Cadence has ported it for SCV as well.

Also, did you consider using SystemVerilog for the same? Not that your results will be different - if you over-constrain, any tool will give you such error. The ease of adoption is better with SystemVerilog.
