The type of extension (zero/sign) is determined by the expression
type, not the operand type, so we need to cast to the expression
type before extending the value.
This generates an EQZ LPM device that carries the case-z-ness to
the code generator.
Also add to the vvp code generator support for the EQZ device so
that the synthesis results can be simulated.
Account for the wildcard devices in the sizer.
This required keeping for-loops as actual things through the
netlist form so that the synthesizer can get at and understand
the parts of the for-loop. This may improve vvp code generation
in the future, but for now continue to present to the vvp code
generation the block-while form.
If constant functions are exited by a return/disable, fix
the leaked "disable" flag that causes blocks in the next
try at the function to not work.
There are also a lot of debug messages added to help find
this and similar problems.
Add support for case, forever, and repeat statements in constant
functions. Also fix a bug in the constant function implementation
of NetESelect when used for zero/sign extension.
This patch implements the evaluate_function method for the NetDisable
and NetSTask classes. It also makes the checks for a function being
constant work when the function contains nested scopes (named blocks).
This patch fixes a few issues/bugs that showed up when testing the
fixes for implicit casts:
1. Make the compile-time implementation of $abs, $min, and $max match
the run-time behaviour (system functions can't be polymorphic).
2. Correctly set the type (signed/unsigned) of the result of an
assignment inside a constant user function (the LHS should not
inherit the type of the RHS).
3. Fix a bug in the verinum(double) constructor (insufficient bits
were allocated in the case where the double value rounded up to
the next power of two).
This patch implements the evaluate_function method for the NetEBBits,
NetEBDiv, NetEBLogic, NetEBMinMax, and NetEBPow classes. It also
factors out some common code into the NetEBinary class.
