An important advantage of program blocks is its ability to nest
within a module. This winds up also allowing modules to nest, which
is legal but presumably less used feature.
I'm adding more uses of the make_range_from_width function, so
it seems like time to get rid of its use of the svector template.
This thread led to a lot of other uses of svector that had to
also be removed.
This patch adds checks that the delay count is correct for the
various gates and adds support for a missing variable decay
time. For this case the decay time is the minimum of the rise
and fall times. This is denoted by setting the decay variable
to 0 in the vvp file. vvp notes this and sets an ignore decay
time property in the base delay. This turns off the ability
to set the decay time and the minimum delay calculation will
also update the decay time.
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.
Rework the handling of file names to use a perm_string heap to hold
the file names, instead of the custom file name heap in the lexor.
Also rename the get_line to get_fileline to reflect its real duties.
This latter chage touched a lot of files.
I now generate the scopes and notice the parameters
in a separate pass over the pform. Once the scopes
are generated, I can process overrides and evalutate
paremeters before elaboration begins.
