locker specman e

Hi,
Can anybody tell me about TCM in specman. I am starting 4 TCM on 4 different events which may start on same edge of clock. Some fields are shared by some TCM i.e modified. Then my question is that whether starting of different follows any order or if some variables are read or write by TCMs then how it take care of correct value is read or write by TCMs.

waiting for reply,

sys struct specman

Hi,

TCM are different from normal methods. They consume time and run along with.
These accept delays also.

Yes, U can start any no of TCMs at a time. U can start a TCM by extending sys struct and writing

extend sys {

start TCM1;
start TCM2;
etc....
};




Hope this helps.And if I am wrong please correct me.

Yes that can result in indeterministic behavior and should be taken care of through proper synchronization scheme - either through events or semaphores/locker etc.
