In previous incarnations of the vvp runtime, bit vectors were passed
around as arrays of unsigned char that charried bit4 vectors. That
is no longer used. Remove the last vestiges of that dead code.
Remove dependencies on vvp_bit4_encoding outside of the vvp_net
core types. The table_functor_s class was the worst offfender and
was barely used, so it is now removed completely. There are a few
opcodes in vhtread.cc that also make vvvp_bit4_t encoding
assumptions (and used casts) and those have been fixed. There
were also various VPI interface functions that are fixed.
vpi_put_value can mimic force and release with vpiForceFlag and
vpiReleaseFlag flags to the vpi_put_value call. With this patch,
the infrastructure is added to allow the flags argument to be passed
to the dispatched put_value function, and for signals handle those
flags as force/release of a net.
tgt-vvp/eval_expr.c uninitialized variables
vpi/sys_display.c uninitialized variables
vvp/vpi_priv.cc deprecated string constant usage
vvp/vpi_vthr_vector.cc deprecated string constant usage
the last entry invokes vpip_name_string() and uses const char *
in the same way as the other 9 callers in vvp/*.cc, the only
difference is that the argument is static instead of computed.
Gets rid of a few warning: deprecated conversion from string
constant to 'char*', follows IEEE 1364-2001C 27.10 in more cases,
and fixes at least one real bug (look at the previous use of
strdup/strcat in real_var_get_str() and signal_get_str()).
Modified the code that deals with real variables to accept an integer
value when using vpi_put_value(). Also added some type of diagnostic
message for all switch defaults that have an assert(0) to indicate an
error condition, removed CVS comments and removed a small section of
unreachable code.
