The abs() function needs to be able to turn -0.0 into 0.0. This proved
to be too clunky (and perhaps impossible) to do with tests and jumps,
so add an %abs/wr opcode to do it using fabs().
The min/max functions need to take special care with the handling
of NaN operands. These matter, so generate the extra code to handle
them.
This patch adds the ability to assign/deassign a bit or part select.
It also cleans up the code and fixes some problem in the forcing of
strength aware nets.
This patch adds a %assign/av/d opcode. This is a version of %assign/av
that allows a delay expression. Ultimately this allows a dynamically
indexed array to have a delay expression (non-constant delay value).
This patch reworks much of the ternary code to short circuit when
possible and supports real values better. It adds a blend operator
for real values that returns 0.0 when the values differ and the value
when they match. This deviates slightly from the standard which
specifies that the value for reals is always 0.0 when the conditional
is 'bx. There are also a couple bug fixes.
These fixes have not been ported to continuous assignments yet.
Ternary operators used at compile time and in procedural assignments
should be complete (short circuit and support real values).
This patch adds bit based power support to normal expressions.
It also pushes the constant unsigned bit based calculation to
the runtime until the bit based method can be copied to the
compiler. Continuous assignments also need to use this type
of calculation.
This patch adds a new opcode %load/avp0 that is used to load a
word from an array and add a value to it. %load/vp0 was
changed/fixed to do the summation at the result width not the
vector width. This allows small vectors to index large arrays with
an offset. A few errors in the opcodes.txt file were also fixed.
The %ix/getv instruction loads an integer register directly from
a signal vector. This is an optimization that an index register
is loaded from an expression is only a signal. It avoids the thread
vector space.
Where and expression is an immediate value added to a signal value,
it is possible to optimize them to a single instruction that combines
the load with an add at the same time.
Implement compare-immediate instructions and generate code to use
these new instructions to improve runtime performance.

more general concept of arrays. The NetMemory and NetEMemory
classes are removed from the ivl core program, and the IVL_LPM_RAM
lpm type is removed from the ivl_target API.
