snprintf() copies at most N characters, but the string may not be
terminated correctly. This patch uses sizeof() so that the snprintf()
call matches the size of the buffer and adds code to insert a NULL as
the last character of the string.
In ivl_alloc.h we redefine malloc(), realloc() and calloc() to have
standard error checking. We don't want to do this for anything that
comes from the standard headers. This specifically doesn't work if
a C++ header files does std::malloc, etc.
Also change to -W instead of -Wextra since that is more portable. I
plan to add a check from -Wextra and use it when available since it
is more descriptive.
Results of running
cd vpi
for f in *.c *.h; do sed -i \
-e "s/_calltf(PLI_BYTE8/_calltf(ICARUS_VPI_CONST PLI_BYTE8/" \
-e "s/_compiletf(PLI_BYTE8/_compiletf(ICARUS_VPI_CONST PLI_BYTE8/" $f; done
and a trivial patch to vpi_user.h to, among other things, make
ICARUS_VPI_CONST blank.
Thus, this patch does absolutely nothing. Will be followed by a
(much shorter) patch that makes it do something. :-)
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.
The fstHandle is only a uint32_t so to avoid compiler warnings on 64
bit systems cast this to long before casting to a pointer.
Also reformat some of the code to match the rest of the Icarus code.
This patch documents that the lxt2/lx2 dumper supports -speed and
-space options. It adds -speed, -space, -space-speed and
-speed-space options for the fst dumper. Here are results for a
gate level back annotated design using the fst dumper.
<none> 12.88 seconds 3.5 Meg dump file.
-space 12.89 seconds 2.9 Meg dump file.
-speed 12.36 seconds 4.6 Meg dump file.
-<both> 12.84 seconds 3.2 Meg dump file.
We keep a scope list that is checked to verify that we do not try
to dump duplicate scopes or variables. Since the scan_item routine
can not add duplicate scopes we only need to sort the list after
the scan_item routine is called. Calling it every time a scope
was added was creating a significant startup delay for gate level
simulations since the sort routine is called for every scope in
the design (possibly thousands of times).
This mostly matches what was done for the LXT dumper except the
LXT dumper was incorrectly sorting before not after scan_item
was called. This would not catch a duplicate variable just
after a scope was added in a $dumpvars call.
This patch is a slight modification to files Tony Bybell (the author of
GTKWave) send to me. We still have a few more changes we plan to make,
but this should be functional enough for initial testing. Multi-treading
and speed/size flags will be added shortly.
