`define marcos usage in system verilog

Note it is not supported in verilog

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SystemVerilog
The preprocessor has improved `define macro-substitution capabilities, specifically substitution within literal-strings (""), as well as concatenation of multiple macro-tokens into a single word.

第三章 SystemVerilog文本值和数据类型SystemVerilog增加的类型在本章中包括以下
 
1 `define xyz(I,R)\
2 assign abc[I].clk = R.du``I``_clk_x;

 

`define xyz(I,R)\
assign abc(I).clk = ``R``.du``I``_clk_x;


in the macro, R by itself is the argument that gets substituted. ``R`` is not needed.

However, the argument I shows up twice in the body of the macro; first by itself, and then surrounded by ``I``. The `` is a token separator used to build identifiers and strings. Without it, the bare argument I would disappear into an identifier duI_clk_x. You want the macro

`xyz(1,a)

to be replaced with

assign abc(1).clk = a.du1_clk_x;

 

 

`define增强SystemVerilog中扩展了`define的功能,代替了宏定义的功能。
3.2.1
字符串中的宏变元替换(Macro argument substitution within strings)Verilog 的`define宏定义中可以用( ” ),则引号中的文字变成了文字型字符串。
这就意味着,Verilog不能建立含有宏变元的字符串。
如下例所示,不能按原本意愿展开。

`define print(v) \

$display("variable v = %h", v)

`print(data);

该例中,将`print(data);展开,则为,$display(“variable v = %h”, data);。原本的意愿是,将宏定义中所有的‘v’都变成‘data’,但是,包含在双引号里的v并没有发生变化,所以在Verilog语言中不能实现以上的功能。

SystemVerilog中能够实现宏变元的替换。应用重音符( ` )。

举例:

`define print(v) \

$display(`"variable v = %h`", v)

`print(data);

$display(“variable data = %h”, data);。

Verilog中,若要在字符串中加入引号(单引号或双引号),则需在引号前加上字符“\”。举例:$display("variable \"data\" = %h", data);

当字符串中含宏变元时,只用\"是不够的,则需要用`\`"。举例如下:

`define print(v) \

$display(‘"variable ‘\‘"v‘\‘" = %h‘", v)

`print(data);

则宏展开为:

$display("variable \"data\" = %h", data);

3.2.2
通过宏建立标识符名(Constructing identifier names from macros)SystemVerilog中可以通过( `` )将两个或更多的名字连接在一起形成新的名字。注意,重音符间无空格。
