does anybody know how to print instance name in verilog?

Thanks in advance

have you enabled the Display property for instance name ?

Normally this property is off, but you can switch it to value or a list of other selections.

A %m in a $display format will print the full hierarchical name of the
scope in which it appears (generally a module instance). The %m does
not use up one of the arguments to the $display, since it is not printing
one of them.

module a ();
b b ();
endmodule


module b ();
initial
$display("My instance name is %m"); // My instance name is a.b
endmodule
