Redsign the handling of the return value, including a rework of
the %vpi_func syntax to carry the needed information.
Add a few more arithmetic operator instructions.
This will hopefully improve performance slightly, but also this
intended as a model for what to do when I get around to doing the
same thing to other data types.
The clang compiler does not like using struct to reference a class object.
This patch removes all the struct keywords for __vpiNamedEvent objects
since they are now a class and can be called without a struct/class
qualifier.
This patch also removes all the extra class qualifiers from the rest of
the source code.
The clang compiler does not like mixing class and struct references. This
patch updates all the struct __vpiHandle, etc. to use class since that is
how they are now defined.
This patch adds -Wextra to the compilation flags for C++ files in
the vvp and vpi subdirectories. It also fixes all the problems
found while adding -Wextra. This mostly entailed removing some of
the unused arguments, removing the name for others and using the
correct number of initializers.
This patch adds two new opcodes and the infrastructure needed to call
system functions as tasks. The normal %vpi_call will generate an error
if a system function is called as a task. %vpi_call/w will generate a
warning and will ignore any value returned by the function. %vpi_call/i
will ignore the system function return value and will not print a
message. Adding this is a feature request and is supported in
SystemVerilog. Next I need to add flags to control this depending on
the compiler generation and possibly other flags.
I may leave the cast to void (%vpi_call/i) functionality unimplemented
for now.
The functions (malloc, free, etc.) that used to be provided in
malloc.h are now provided in cstdlib for C++ files and stdlib.h for
C files. Since we require a C99 compliant compiler it makes sense
that malloc.h is no longer needed.
This patch also modifies all the C++ files to use the <c...>
version of the standard C header files (e.g. <cstdlib> vs
<stdlib.h>). Some of the files used the C++ version and others did
not. There are still a few other header changes that could be done,
but this takes care of much of it.
To ensure the initial propagation of 'x' values at time-0 does not
trigger any events, the propagation of these values needs to be
completed before any statements that wait on events are executed.
vvp has a pre-simulation event queue to handle this, but some
functors defeat this by postponing their output propagation using
the stratified event queue. This patch fixes this by using the
pre-simulation event queue to schedule functor output propagation
until initial value propagation is complete.
This patch adds code to cleanup system functions driving a
continuous assignment. It also modifies the user function
cleanup to not interfere with this. It also adds a count
of the nets and signals that were not cleaned up that is
pnly printed when running valgrind. They are not flagged
y valgrind since they are pool managed objects. There are
a few signals that need to be cleaned up and local nets
are missed so there are a lot of nets.
This patch fixes a bunch of memory leaks in vvp and converts the
T_STRING lexical token to be new based. There are still two
known leaks that I need to find a way to fix and likely some
unknown leaks that still need to be found and fixed.
Functions that appear in continuous assignment expressions and that
have hidden dependencies or side effects need to be re-evaluated
whenever any input to the expression changes. This patch adds support
in the compiler and vvp runtime to enable this. This is currently
activated for any system function call that has no arguments. The
user may also force it to be used for any user function by passing
the option -gstrict-ca-eval to the compiler driver.
This patch also removes the -dautomatic option which was used for
gaining confidence in the code that supports automatic tasks and
functions. It is believed that the testsuite provides reasonable
fault coverage, and further tests can be added if bugs are found.
This patch adds code to push the file and line information
for scope objects (modules, functions, tasks, etc.) to the
runtime. For modules, this includes the definition fields.
This patch schedules the input value change to .sfuns calls to avoid
potential recursion problems. It also cleans up two put_value calls
that did unneeded loops when putting VectorVals and the width was
greaten than 32 bits.
Add the vpiFile and vpiLineNo properties to system functions.
Most other objects have stubs that return "N/A"/0. Interactive
functions (called from the debugger) use <interactive> for the
file name.
Modified the code that deals with real variables to accept an integer
value when using vpi_put_value(). Also added some type of diagnostic
message for all switch defaults that have an assert(0) to indicate an
error condition, removed CVS comments and removed a small section of
unreachable code.
