Get a source reference to all struct extensions in Specman

I am familiar with the collect command in Specman which returns all of the specified method's extensions. However, show source for a certain struct only returns the base struct definition and not all the extensions. is there a command in Specman that is equivalent to collect but for structs/units?

there is no such command in Specman but since e is an incredibly flexible language you can add any command you may need using the powerful e macros.

For example, to implement what you want, you can create a macro that makes use of the reflection Mechanism to get all layers of the desired struct and then print the relevant source lines:

define <struct_collect'command> "s_collect <any>" as {
var line_num:int;
var st:rf_struct = rf_manager.get_struct_by_name("<1>");
if (st==NULL) {
    out(append("struct name does not exist : <1>"));
} else {
    for each in st.as_a(rf_like_struct).get_layers() {
        line_num=it.get_source_line_num();
        out(append("In file ",it.get_module().get_name()," line ",line_num, " : ",files.get_text_lines(it.get_module().get_full_file_name(), line_num,line_num)));

    };    
  };  
};

you can improve on this macro, by writing the results to a file, or arrange it in a different way.

Cheers
