14 years agoModelSim crashes when creating wave with wrong range
I believe I have encountered a bug in ModelSim 6.6d.
My design is in Verilog. Say it contains a signal called declared as input [30:0] my_signal Issuing the command :
wave create -driver freeze -pattern constant -value zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -range 30 0 -starttime 0ps -endtime 1000ps sim:/my_module_name/my_signal
works as expected. If the range is incorrect, though, such as in the command:
wave create -driver freeze -pattern constant -value zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -range 31 0 -starttime 0ps -endtime 1000ps sim:/my_module_name/my_signal
then ModelSim crashes with no dialog or visible error message. I realize the semantics of the offending command are invalid, but I'd still like to report the bug. Is there a more proper channel?
