Hi,

I have one SV file where I have to include it in multiple System verilog test cases. Obviously, I will be receiving compilation errors..
Say I have declared a parameter in the include file.. For the first test case, I'll not get any compilation error; when the compiler compiles the second
test case and when it compiles the same include file, it obviously reports error saying that the parameter already declared..

How can I overcome this with efficient SV construct?

Thanks
Suresh
 

Hi,

just use the ifndef/define pair in your header file:

Code: 
// In myHeader.h
'ifndef _DUMMY_
'define _DUMMY_

// any common declaration here

'endif

In this way, the first time the compiler tries to compile the declarations, it will since the _DUMMY_ preprocessor variable is not defined. The second time it won't, but the declaration will be still there at your disposal!

Cheers
 

Thank you. It was my bad.. It should work.. I don't know how I forgot this...
