SV Classes and Randomization
,• Classes allow objects to be dynamically created, deleted, assigned, and
accessed via object handles.
• Object handles provide a safe pointer-like mechanism to the language.
Classes offer inheritance and abstract type modeling, which brings the
advantages of C function pointers with none of the type-safety problems,
thus, bringing true polymorphism into Verilog.
,
, • A class is a type that includes data and subroutines (functions and tasks)
that operate on that data.
• A class’s data is referred to as class properties, and its subroutines are
called methods, both are members of the class.
• The class properties and methods, taken together, define the contents and
capabilities of some kind of object.
