Question

A traverse collection can be obtained (i.e. created) from a design collection using vpi_handle(). The call would take on the form of:

vpiHandle objCollection;
/* Obtain a traverse collection from the object collection */
vpi_handle(vpiTrvsCollection, objCollection);

The usage of this capability is discussed in Section 30.8.7.

Another optional method is defined, which is used in the case the user wishes to directly control the data load, for loading data of objects in a collection: vpi_load(). This operation loads all the objects in the collection. It is equivalent to performing a vpi_load() on every single handle of the object elements in the collection.

A traversal method is also defined on collections of traverse handles; i.e. collections of type vpiTrvsCollection. The method is vpi_goto().
