[Iverilog-devel] Syntax to dump variable

[Uwe B. <bo...@el...>]

Hallo,

the git logs suppose that around Nov. 2007 Cary added the possibility to
dump arrays of words. I tried to understand the requirements given in the
git log, but to no success.
The hierarchie is as follows
- test bench "test"
- instantiation of instance "alu" of module hf_alu
- in hf_alu contains a definiton
  wire signed [N_CALC-1:0] op_data[0:(1<<`HF_OPS_WIDTH)-1];

I tried something like
  $dumpvars(1, alu.op_data);
in the test bench, but all I get is 
ERROR: hf_alu_tb.v line 76: $dumpvars cannot dump a vpiMemory.

Is the ability to dump arrays really available?
How should the $dumpvars statement look?

Thanks
