随着设计和验证环境的复杂性增加，编译时间也增加了，这也影响了验证时间。因此，需要对其进行优化，以便在不强制重新编译的情况下考虑新的配置或参数。我们已经看到了function or task如何基于传递参数进行行为。类似地，UVM提供了一个接口来提供命令行参数，从而提供了灵活性，在“uvm_cmdline_processor”类的帮助下可以避免重新编译testbench。它允许使用不同的配置运行测试。

uvm_cmdline_processor类提供了从命令行设置各种uvm变量的功能，例如组件详细性(component verbosity)以及整数类型和字符串的配置。

2 uvm_cmdline_processor Methods

这里讨论了命令行处理器和内置命令行参数的几种方法。

`include "uvm_macros.svh"
import uvm_pkg::*;

class my_test extends uvm_test;
  uvm_cmdline_processor clp;
  bit [31:0] addr;
  string clp_addr_str;
  string clp_pattern_str;
  string pattern;
  `uvm_component_utils(my_test)
  
  function new(string name = "my_test", uvm_component parent = null);
    super.new(name, parent);
  endfunction
  
  function void build_phase(uvm_phase phase);
    super.build_phase(phase);
    clp = uvm_cmdline_processor::get_inst();
    addr = clp.get_arg_value("+ADDR=", clp_addr_str) ? clp_addr_str.atohex(): 32'hF;
    pattern = clp.get_arg_value("+PATTERN=", clp_pattern_str) ? clp_pattern_str: "Hello";
  endfunction
  
  function void end_of_elaboration_phase(uvm_phase phase);
    super.end_of_elaboration_phase(phase);
    `uvm_info(get_full_name(), $sformatf("addr = %0h, pattern = %s", addr, pattern), UVM_LOW)
  endfunction
endclass

module tb_top;
  initial begin
    run_test("my_test");
  end
endmodule

UVM: command line processor - EDA Playground

Output:

UVM_INFO testbench.sv(25) @ 0: uvm_test_top [uvm_test_top] addr = aa, pattern = World

3 Built-in command line arguments in UVM

4 System functions for command line arguments in SystemVerilog

和uvm_cmdline_processor类方法类似，SV也提供了一些系统函数。

module cmd_line_args_ex;
  bit [31:0] addr_1, addr_2;
  string pattern;
 
  initial begin
    // +ADDR argument uses $test$plusargs and $value$plusargs
    if($test$plusargs("ADDR="))
      void'($value$plusargs("ADDR=%0h", addr_1));
    else
      addr_1 = 'hF;
    
    if($test$plusargs("PATTERN="))
      void'($value$plusargs("PATTERN=%s", pattern));
    else
      pattern = "Hello";
    
    $display("address = %0h, pattern = %s", addr_1, pattern);
    
    if($test$plusargs("ENABLE"))
      $display("You have successfully received ENABLE as argument");
    
    // +ADDR argument uses $value$plusargs only
    if($value$plusargs("ADDR=%0h", addr_2))
      $display("You have successfully received %0h value for ADDR argument", addr_2);
  end
endmodule

 Please check “Run Options” while running the code.【-access +rw +ADDR=AA +PATTERN=World +ENABLE】

Output：

address = aa, pattern = World
You have successfully received ENABLE as argument
You have successfully received aa value for ADDR argument
