UVM -Create my own macros - macros

Question

I want to use the following macro in uvm project
//---------------------------------------------------------
// General macros which contain sequence repeate
// in many places.
//---------------------------------------------------------
`ifndef MY_MACROS_SV
`define MY_MACROS_SV
// MACRO: 'my_fatal_err
//
// calls uvm_fatal in case the assertion is not correct
`define my_fatal(id, msg )
assert (file_p != 0) else
`uvm_fatal("FATAL ERROR", "FILE OPENED FAILED")
`endif //MY_MACROS_SV
I to call this macro from different classes (sequenece, driver, etc..) by:
`my_fatal("FATAL ERROR", "FILE OPENED FAILED")
When I try to compile this I got the following error:
# ** Error: (vlog-13069) ** while parsing file included at ./sv/girobo2_pkg.sv(4 )
# ** at .\sv\my_macros.sv(13): near "assert": syntax error, unexpected assert , expecting class.

Answer 1

With multi-line macros, you need to escape the newlines with a backslash:
`define my_fatal(id, msg ) \
assert (file_p != 0) else \
`uvm_fatal("FATAL ERROR", "FILE OPENED FAILED")
Refer to IEEE Std 1800-2012, section 22.5.1 `define
In response to your (now-deleted) comment, I think you meant to use:
`uvm_fatal(id, msg)
