You can do it through PLIs, but it's a pain. A much simpler, low tech way
to do it is:
1) add:
// repeat this for all objects you want to count
module top_count;
integer df_count;
initial begin
df_count=0;
#2 $display("%d DF flops instantiated", df_count);
end
2) and to the DF module (or other objects you want to count) add:
initial #1 top_count.df_count=top_count.df_count+1;
As I said -- low tech but it works. If your DF module is intended to be
synthesised you might want to surround the initial statement with a
"// synopsys translate_on/off" pair.

An easy way to do this in VCS is to specify -Xman=0x11 to put all source
files into tokens.v.
Then: grep ^<module name> tokens.v | wc
