This patch removes #ident since it is deprecated in recent gcc
versions. It also removes all the CVS comments and fixes a few
other compilation warnings. There are still a few compilation
warnings, but this takes care of most of them. Fixing the rest
will require a bit more thought.
System tasks and functions can be defined to have NULL arguments.
This patch makes the @* sensitivity list calculation skip these
NULL (constant) arguments.
This is a slightly modified version of the patch from the development
branch. Specifically it only allows outputs in the sensitivity list for
non-synthesis back ends. The text from the development patch follows.
@* was only expanding to input nets. nex_input() for blocks was removing
any output net that was also an input. There was also a bug in how output
nets were removed. Only outputs currently defined were removed from the
input list.
always @(*) begin
y = a;
z = y;
end
would report "a" as an input. While
always @(*) begin
z = y;
y = a;
end
would report both "a" and "y" as inputs.
To fix this all nex_inputs now take a flag that when true (the default)
correctly removes any output from the input list. Both the above cases
will now return "a". If the flag is false outputs which are also inputs
will be included in the input list. This is what the @* elaboration code
uses to get the correct sensitivity list.
