mailbox is not declared -- SystemVerilog

[choksiv]

Hi,

I am trying to create systemverilog testbench in Vivado 2019.2 where I want to use Mailbox for a class based testbench. As part of dynamic constucts supported document, Xilinx have clearly mentioned that mailbox, semaphore and queues are supported as part of Vivado 2019.2 version.  Why does it not work as expected? I am seeing the issue for queue as well. 

Can someone please help on this? Is systemverilog compatible with Vivado or not?

Hi @choksiv  ,

Mailbox is supported in Simulation as per Table 40 in User Guide 900

I have run the attached test bench on both Windows and Linux and the mailbox is working as expected

launch_simulation: Time (s): cpu = 00:00:04 ; elapsed = 00:00:14 . Memory (MB): peak = 1018.926 ; gain = 0.000
run 10 us
