How to call C tasks in Verilog source codes?

[Thomson]

Hi,
Since i'm now designing a database alike engine to render unified error reporting mechanism, and the capabilities of Verilog to deal with the data types are poor, therefore i'd like to write these tasks dealing with the data types such as struct and list so on in C!


How can I do?

Thanks a lot!

I guess you need to use Verilog PLI.

can take look this book:
The Verilog PLI Handbook : A User's Guide and Comprehensive Reference on the Verilog Programming Language Interface

there are some example in this website:

Have you explored using SystemVerilog instead? Of-course only if you have the necessary tools. Atleast VCS can do all of what you've asked quite well inside SV domain!

This depends on the tool you used, you can refer to its manual, some special pli is provied, and easy to call C function by it.
