| // CLASS: ovm_agent |
| // |
| // The ovm_agent virtual class should be used as the base class for the user- |
| // defined agents. Deriving from ovm_agent will allow you to distinguish agents |
| // from other component types also using its inheritance. Such agents will |
| // automatically inherit features that may be added to ovm_agent in the future. |
| // |
| // While an agent's build function, inherited from <ovm_component>, can be |
| // implemented to define any agent topology, an agent typically contains three |
| // subcomponents: a driver, sequencer, and monitor. If the agent is active, |
| // subtypes should contain all three subcomponents. If the agent is passive, |
| // subtypes should contain only the monitor. |
