A special case of a state bin definition uses the all specification:

state state_bin_name (all);

This statement indicates that Vera creates a bin for each sampled value of the coverage point (or increments the bin hit count).

Used for debugging purpose only

  1 class coverage_state {
  2   bit [3:0] value;
  3   event     now;
  4 
  5   coverage_group something {
  6      sample_event = sync(ALL,now);
  7      sample value {
  8        state AB_0 (0:7);
  9        state AB_1 (4'b1000);
 10        // Used for debugging purpose only
 11        state AB_2 (all);
 12      }
 13   }
 14 
 15   task update_coverage (bit [3:0] value) {
 16      this.value = value;
 17      trigger(now);
 18   }
