Parameterized Components and Agents at Scale: Pitfalls

Pitfalls for Parameterized Components and Agents at Scale.

Pitfalls and red flags

  • Forgetting `uvm_component_param_utils` on parameterized components, which breaks factory support.

  • Assuming one override on a base specialization applies to all `#(T)` variants.

  • Using unsafe casts between unrelated sequence-item types, hiding real interface mismatches.

  • Exposing raw long template specializations everywhere instead of stable typedef aliases.
