Summary
uvm_resource_db
Implementation of uvm_resource_db, as defined in section C.3.2.1 of 1800.2-2017.
Methods
read_by_nameLocates a resource by name and scope and reads its value.
read_by_typeReads a value by type.

read_by_name

Locates a resource by name and scope and reads its value.  The value is returned through the inout argument val.  The return value is a bit that indicates whether or not the read was successful.  The accessor is available for an implementation to use for debug purposes only; its value shall have no functional effect on outcome of this method.

Note: This function deviates from IEEE 1800.2-2017 LRM as it defines the val argument as inout, whereas the LRM defines it as an output.

static function bit read_by_name(input string scope,
                                 input string name,
                                 inout T val,
                                 input uvm_object accessor = null);

The implementation treats the argument as inout for cases where a read may fail and the value will not change from its original supplied value.

read_by_type

Reads a value by type.  The value is returned through the inout argument val.  The scope is used for the lookup.  The return value is a bit that indicates whether or not the read is successful.  The accessor is available for an implementation to use for debug purposes only; its value shall have no functional effect on outcome of this method.

Note: This function deviates from IEEE 1800.2-2017 LRM as it defines the <val> argument as inout, whereas the LRM defines it as an output.

static function bit read_by_type(input string scope,
                                 inout T val,
                                 input uvm_object accessor = null);

The implementation treats the argument as inout for cases where a read may fail and the value will not change from its original supplied value.
