NOTE: This removes the ability to request vpiSuppressTime for the
simulation time callbacks (other than cbNextSimTime). Requesting
this is clearly stated to be an error in IEEE 1364-2001 onwards.
IEEE 1364-1995 has different wording to later versions of the standard,
stating "For reason cbNextSimTime, the time structure is ignored." So
it's possible old VPI code might not pass a valid time pointer or time
structure. So remove the checks that the time pointer is non-null and
that the time type is not vpiSuppressTime.
To allow a user to select the time type, we have to assume that if
the time pointer is non-null, it is a valid pointer and not just an
uninitialised field.
The old code only worked for VPI objects that represented variables
and nets. For simulation time callbacks, the user might pass an
object that represents a scope.
This adds support for vpiScaledRealTime in various callbacks where it
wasn't previously supported. However this doesn't work properly when
the cb_data.obj field references a scope handle.
Previously they were reusing the pointer supplied when the callback
was registered, which is not guaranteed to still be valid.
Note that the IEEE standard states:
The only fields in the s_cb_data structure that shall need to
be set up for simulation action or feature callbacks are the
reason, cb_rtn, and user_data (if desired) fields.
so for cbEndOfSimulation callbacks we cannot rely on the time pointer
being either valid or null. The standard does not require that the
time structure should be filled in when the callback occurs, but for
backwards compatibility continue to do so, returning a vpiSimTime
value.
Fill out cb_data.time and require it is non-NULL.
Record the last NextSimTime CB so we don't call CBs added during this timestep.

Directly casting a negative double to a unsigned integer type is undefined
behavior and has different results on x86 and ARM based platforms.
On x86 the behavior is similar to casting a signed int to an unsigned
integer, i.e. the sign bit will end up in the MSB. But on ARM the result
will be 0.
To get consistent behavior, first cast to signed integer and then cast the
signed integer value to an unsigned integer value.

Clean up warnings that show up on newer compilers. Many of these warnings
are related to obsolete c library features or language features. This does
not clear up warnings in code generated by bison or flex.
sync_cb::run_run() attempts to cast the obj field of the callback data to a
__vpiSysTaskCall pointer. But a sync_cb object is only used for simulation
time callbacks, where the obj field is (mostly) not used, so I can't see
that would ever succeed. As the obj field is not required to be set by the
user, the dynamic cast results in undefined behaviour, so mingw32 is not to
blame.
This code was introduced by Johann Klammer in commit c79df7c44, but the user
klammerj and all trace of that pull request have vanished from GitHub, and
there is no associated regression test, so I can't establish the rationale
for it.
- type is vpiPartSelect, not vpiMemoryWord
- left/right range is for part, not full word
- index is not valid for a part select
The user will now get a sensible error message if they pass part of an
array word to $dumpvars (GitHub issue #230).
Normally there is at most one signal attached to a vvp functor, but
due to port collapsing, there can be more than one. If these signals
are array words, we need to trigger vpi callbacks on all the associated
arrays when the functor value changes.
Change cbReadWriteSynch and cbReadOnlySynch to interpret the passed
time value as a relative delay, not an absolute time. This matches
the behaviour of other simulators.
Second try cleaning up cast-alignment problems surrounding need_result_buf().
Clang gave a bunch of warnings like
vvp/vpi_const.cc:196:34: warning: cast from 'char *' to 'p_vpi_vecval' (aka 't_vpi_vecval *') increases required alignment from 1 to 4 [-Wcast-align]
This version is verbose and changes the prototype for need_result_buf().
But it is semantically (c++) correct, and makes need_result_buf() feel like malloc().
When checking with valgrind clean up the following:
The arguments for invalid task/function calls.
The simulation callback queues (only needed when the runtime aborts).
Call pthread_exit(NULL) just before exiting to cleanup dynamic loading.
This patch updates the vvp code so it will compile with the valgrind hooks
again. There are still new constructs that need to be cleaned up correctly
and some old constructs were changed enough that the old code no longer
works, but the rest of this can be done as an incremental improvement.
In vvp, create the .var/str variable for representing strings, and
handle strings in the $display system task.
Add to vvp threads the concept of a stack of strings. This is going to
be how complex objects are to me handled in the future: forth-like
operation stacks. Also add the first two instructions to minimally get
strings to work.
In the parser, handle the variable declaration and make it available
to the ivl_target.h code generator. The vvp code generator can use this
information to generate the code for new vvp support.
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.
When looking for a value change on a part select of an array word,
the callback handle has to save the current value and test it with
the new value to see if there is an actual change. If not, then
suppress the callback.
All the methods that this structure supported are now pulled
into the __vpiHandle class as virtual methods. This includes
the vpi_free_object_ method, which required some extra trickery.
Instead of C-like data structures where the __vpiHandle base is a
leading member, make the __vpiHandle a derived class. Give the base
class a virtual destructor so that dynamic_cast works reliably, and
now pretty much all of the junk for testing if an object really is
of the derived class goes away. Also, problems with casting up to
a vpiHandle become trivial non-issues.
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.
