Transaction Recording Classes

The recording classes provide a facility to record transactions into a database using a consistent API. Users can configure what gets sent to the backend database, without knowing exactly how the connection to that database is established.

The primary interface to the UVM recording facility is the uvm_recorder class, which serves as a reference to the transaction in the database, as well as the policy which is used to record information into the database.

The UVM provides a default implementation of the recording API, which creates textual logs. This is primarily intended to be used as an example of how to create a recording implementation without the user needing to have tool and/or vendor specific code in their testbench.
