Modelsim: Warning: (vsim-WLF-5000) Log file vsim.wlf currently in use

Hi everyone, it happened to me that by chance I interrupted ModelSim not properly (to be honest I cannot say what happened) and on the next start it showed me this message:



Warning: (vsim-WLF-5000) Log file vsim.wlf currently in use



I tried to remove the file, thinking (uncorrectly I suppose) that the program would have generate a new one, but it didn't work. I found on some forums that is a problem of license but I have a Libero web license, so if it was so I would have had problems with Libero and Synplify as well (they are all under the same license). Could you please explain me what happened? Thanks a lot

Just to add more info, I made a new project with Libero, starting everything from the scratch and only importing the source file. Now it hangs in a different way and on the bottom raw it shows:

sim:/fe_pinout_tb - Limited Visibility Region

where fe_pinout_tb is my testbench entity name. Any idea?

Sorry again, apparently this last problem was a matter of the order in which testbench files where compiled. Fixing this latter it turned back the first one. The warning message is always the same:

Warning: (vsim-WLF-5000) Log file vsim.wlf currently in use

Sorry for all these, I'm a bit in a hurry...

Deleting that file (vsim.wlf) works for me. You can ignore the warning anyway, it will just use another file.

Also you can use vsim -wlf filename to specify another file to use.

I'm very sorry to all of you guys, it has been just a newbie error! I had a process in the testbench with no wait state and it was hanging there forever... Sorry to everyone.
