Piggybacking to UVM error

Question

Is there an easy way to piggy back a custom function to UVM_ERROR macro without manipulating the UVM library ?(i.e whenever a UVM error is invoked anywhere in the environment I want my function to be called along with it.)

Answer 1

Haven't yet tried this myself, but the uvm_report_catcher looks like it does what you want.

It's a callback that you can implement whenever a uvm report (like a UVM_ERROR) is about to be issued, and your function gets called before it gets reported.

Example is available here, section 4.9.3: http://low-powerdesign.com/article_Cadence-UVM_101810.html
