System verilog process::state












0















Playing with systemverilog, I'm trying to get the status of some processes that are forked.
In order to do that I create a variable where I can get state of a process.
From part 9.7 of 1800-2012 SV-LRM



process::state pstat;


But I get the following error with irun :
xmvlog: *E,EXPIDN expecting an identifier [3.2][3.8][3.9(IEEE)].

          state is a method of the class process. You can't create a variable of type process::state - that makes no sense. There is an example in section 9.7 of IEEE 1800-2012, which shows how to use the process class.

            state is a type embedded in a class. The BNF does allow you to use it directly, but some tools allow it. You should be able to do:



            typedef process::state state_e;
            state_e pstat;

            // or
            type(process::state) pstat;
