Also allow extra configuration options to be passed via the
IVL_CONFIG_OPTIONS environment variable and add some missing
dependencies. Don't include --enable-libveriuser by default.
Update the README accordingly, with sensible line wrapping.
This version works with the native Windows (mingw64 and clang64)
versions of Perl in MSYS2.
Note that warnings are disabled in the Environment.pm module because
Perl fails to notice that OLDOUT and OLDERR are used when restoring
the STDOUT and STDERR file handles.
When the argument is a literal string, tf_getp returns a pointer to
the string. But the return type is a PLI_INT32, so on machines where
pointers are larger than 32 bits, the pointer value may get truncated.
Check for this at run time, and if it occurs, print a warning and
return 0.
PLI 1 was deprecated in 1364-2005, so disable by default and note that
it is deprecated in the help text.
This works round the problem that the clang linker (lld) in MSYS2 does
not support the -r option, so cannot be used to build libveriuser.a.
The clang dlltool is not compatible with the binutils dlltool. However
both the clang and binutils linkers support reading the .def file and
creating the import library directly, so we no longer need to perform
the link in two stages.
When redirection operators are included in a command string passed to
the system() subroutine, it spawns an intermediate shell to handle the
redirection. This is particularly inefficient when running the tests
in MSYS2. Creating our own version of system() based on fork() and
exec() allows us to handle the redirection directly.
We need to build libvvp with a suffix from the outset to ensure that
the vvp binary searches for the correct library file name once it is
installed.
Also Windows DLLs need to be stored in the same directory as the main
program, not in a separate lib directory.
Commit 95810b2f61 mistakenly added the suffix to the output file name
when linking the final vvp.exe binary. 'make check' and 'make install'
assume the suffix is only added when installing.
The tgt-vvp code generatpr outputs identifiers as quoted strings, and
because of this, escapes any " and \ characters (which may appear in
escaped indentifiers). We need to undo this when reading them into
vvp, so that the original name is seen by the VPI routines.
