SPECMAN E error connected with lots of iterations

[tarkyss]

# *** Error: Specman run reached the tick_max configuration limit (10000)
# without a call to stop_run()
why? the number of the iteration is too big?
how to slove it
thanks

specman set_config

Can you give us some more info please!
Which version of Specman e ur using on which platform with what OS???
Can you give us small example program here to reproduce the error on our
side???

specman errors

my specman E is 4.3.5
and platform is solaris
my code is like
struct a {
data : list of int;
keep data.size()==100000;
go()@clk is {
var i : int=0;
for(i=0; i<100000;i=i+1) do {
outf("i = %d %d\n",i,data.pop());
};
};
};


when i is about 4100, the error message is displayed

dumping data to file in specman

my specman E is 4.3.5
and platform is solaris
my code is like
struct a {
data : list of int;
keep data.size()==100000;
go()@clk is {
var i : int=0;
for(i=0; i<100000;i=i+1) do {
outf("i = %d %d\n",i,data.pop());
};
};
};


when i is about 4100, the error message is displayed

Do this in your e-code:

//setup Specman in our special way
setup() is also { set_config (run, tick_max, 100M); };

Found it from google,
broken link removed

specman e docs

this problem comes because of using... $dump vars concept..
here in it we will dump all the values to a file...some these iterations or the steps may exeed the tick max value. For that you has to increase the tix max count in config file. Or using set_config command..

e vs specman

I just solved this problem in my environment.
Use the following .

set_config (run, use_manual_tick, TRUE);

The simulation will then be controled by sc_stop() or user command. It won't count tick at all.
