Question

Object based traversal can be performed by creating a traverse handle for the object and then moving it back and forth to the next or previous Value Change (VC) or by performing jumps in time. A traverse object handle for any object in the design can be obtained by calling vpi_handle() with a vpiTrvsObj type, and an object vpiHandle. This is the method described in Section 30.8.4, and used in all the code examples thus far.

Using this method, the traversal would be object-based because the individual object traverse handles are created, and then the application can query the (value, time) pairs for each VC. This method works well when the design is being navigated and there is a need to access the (stored) data of any individual object.
