C++ based verification methodologies are now emerging as the preferred method for SOC design. However most of the verification involving the C++ models are simulation based. The challenge of using C++ for sequential equivalence checking comes from two aspects (1) Language constructs such as pointers, polymorphism, virtual methods, dynamic memory allocation, dynamic loop bounds, floating points pose difficulty in creating a model suitable for equivalence checking (2) The memory and runtime required for creating models suitable for equivalence checking from practical C++ designs is huge.
