Xcelium is not happy with real data types

[joecrop]

When trying to work with real values, for example:

@hif.api
class TbInitiator(object):
    @hif.imp
    async def setv(self, voltage: ctypes.c_double):
        pass

The c_double type gets resolved to real in systemverilog and the 'real' keyword is used in some decorations. Xcelium is bombing on this, I think, because 'real' is a reserved keyword. If I use a datatype other than real, I no longer get the compilation error.

               real __voltage = pyhdl_if::real(pyhdl_if::PyTuple_GetItem(args, 0));
                                              |
xmvlog: *E,ILLPREF (hdl_call_if_api.svh,74|46): Illegal syntax for a package reference name (real).

Can the library be changed to use a different keyword that is not reserved?

Thanks for reporting this. I've been doing some investigation this evening, can see the issue, and about halfway done with a fix.

Okay, I've resolved this issue and added new tests in release 0.0.4. Please give it a try and let me know if you face further issues

Works perfectly! Thanks for the fix.
