Toggle coverage and Expression coverage does not included in coverage report

Hi Deniz. I have moved this post to the more appropriate forum, DSim -> Coverage.

Hi Christine,
Thank you for the feedback. As you guessed, I was not aware of +b option in cov_spec file means only block coverage. Changing cov_spec file content from "path tb.dut +b " to "path tb.dut +" solved issue. I always assumed this "path tb.dut +a" for (a)ll coverage but that was wrong estimation. 

Note: Removing cov_spec file option is not the case because of the known issue in DSIM about UVM environment requires path directive else it crashes when collecting coverage. See

Thank you

Hi Christine,

 I am using cov_spec file because only give scope DUT to collect block/expression/toggle coverage. Removing cov_spec file is not the case because of simulator crash related with UVM  if i do not define cov_scope. 
See https://help.metrics.ca/support/discussions/topics/154000626463. 

As you told you in note I totally misunderstood +b flag in cov_spec file. When I have access to my environment I am going to try changing cov_spec file content from "path tb.dut +b " to "path tb.dut + ". I have tried "path tb.dut +a" before for (a)ll coverage but that was also mistaken approach of mine

I am going to mark this entry as answer tomorrow after running simulation.

Thanks for the help. 

Hello,

The options "+acc+b -code-cov a" should be sufficient, as long as you are not additionally limiting the gathering of expression/toggle/block coverage with the -code-cov-scope-specs option.

Your .dpf file indicates you are using "-code-cov-scope-specs cov_spec" as an option.  I suspect the contents of your cov_spec file are turning off the collection of toggle and expression coverage.

(Note: for the -code-cov-scope file, "+b" means "block coverage (only)", not "callback access" like it would mean in an -acc-specs file.  See https://help.metrics.ca/a/solutions/articles/154000141188 for more details).

Try removing "-code-cov-scope-specs cov_spec" from your command line.
