specman e-language usage examples for extending methods

Here i am listing examples of extending methods using specman e-language concept.

Ex : extending using is_also

---> Filename packet.e
<’

struct packet_s {

my_method () is {

out (“I am here”);
};
};

‘>

-------> new file packet_extend.e

<’

import packet.e;

extend packet_s {

my_method () is also {

out("to learn e-language”);
};
};

‘>

when we execute the packet_extend.e we can see finally the output appearing as "I am here to learn e-language".


Ex : extend using is first

---> Filename packet.e

<’

struct packet_s {

my_method () is {

out (“I am here”);
};
};

'>

---> New file : packet_extend.e
<’

import packet_extend.e;

extend packet_s {

my_method () is first {

out (“to learn e-language”);
};
};

'>

when we execute the packet_extend.e we can see finally the output appearing as "to learn e-language i am here".


Ex: extend using is only

---> Filename packet.e

<’

struct packet_s {

my_method () is {

out (“I am here”); }; };

'>

---> New file packet_extend.e

<’

import packet.e;

extend transaction_s {

my_method () is only {

out (“to learn e-language”);
};
};

'>

when we execute the packet_extend.e we can see finally the output appearing as "to learn e-language ", this extend method operator overrules the previous contents of the same method defined.
