how to generate compressed instructions regression test

[GMYMingyu]

Hi,
1）Objective：I would like to generate compressed instruction regression test with riscv-dv, which means the amount of compressed instrucions is large, exceeding 50% of all instructions
2) My action: I set a new test name in the yaml: +instr_cnt=1000 +disable_compressed_instr=0 +num_of_sub_program=0, accoding to the Section Runtime options of the generator on https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/google/riscv-dv/blob/master/docs/build/singlehtml/index.html#runtime-options-of-the-generator. However, the generated .S file does not list any compressed instruction.
In my expectation, set +disable_compressed_instr=0 could generate multiple compressed instructions in the generated .s file, riscv-dv randomly generating compressed instructions.
Thanks

hi，which generation flow you have used，python or systemverilog？

Hi, I am using the python. My generation flow is as follows: 1) setting the gen_opt in yaml 2) use the run.py . python36 run.py --isa rv64gcv --target rv64gcv -tn compressed_instr -o /compressed_instr Thanks for reply. Mingyu Jack Davine ***@***.***> 于2023年8月29日周二 14:04写道：

Thanks for your hint.
I fixed this issue with the following step:

1. to generate compressed instruction regression test, configuring [march_isa] is also quite important in the yaml file. Add the RV32C to the isa gen_opt. Otherwise the riscv-dv would still disable the compressed_instr.
2. check the generation flow: Pyflow and SVflow have different flags for the gen_opt flag. svflow: +march=RV32C,RV32I,RV64I.... pyflow: +march_isa=RV32C,RV64C
