The Factory Overrides View shows the UVM create calls affected by factory overrides.
Open the Command Palette and run the View: Focus on Factory Overrides View command. The view is visible only after setting a runtime elaborated Verification top.
The view content is grouped in three categories:
Direct: Lists all the overrides applied by the UVM factory while creating components or objects during the UVM elaboration. Each entry corresponds to the application of a particular override.
Chain: Groups together all the chained factory overrides that get applied during the creation of a UVM component or object which is subject to multiple overrides.
Unused: Lists all the factory overrides which were not applied during the UVM elaboration.
Note: Overrides meant to be applied after the end of elaboration phase will show up as Unused.
The view columns represent:
Applicable To: The verification hierarchy to which the override is applicable.
Original Type: The type to be overridden.
Override Type: The type created by the factory.
Override Path: The verification hierarchy path of the created object.
Override Chain: The types that make up the override chain, for example if foo overrides bar, and xyz overrides foo, then the chain will show foo > bar > xyz.
The quick search bar applies to any of the view’s columns.
Using the
Filters button (
), you can toggle the visibility of each section.
Tip: Double click any node to go to the create call.
Tip: Use Up and Down arrow keys to navigate the view, Left to collapse and Right to expand.
