This patch addresses a number of issues:
Rewrote the $test$plusargs and $value$plusargs routines to have
better error/warning messages, to support runtime strings, to
correctly load bit based values (truncating, padding, negative
value), added support for the real formats using strtod() and
added "x/X" as an alias for "h/H" to match the other part of
Icarus.
Rewrite the vpip_{bin,oct,hex}_str_to_vec4 routines to ignore
embedded "_" characters. Add support for a negative value and
set the entire value to 'bx if an invalid digit is found. A
warning is printed for this case.
Rewrite vpip_dec_str_to_vec4 to ignore embedded "_" characters,
to support a single "x" or "z" constant and to return 'bx if an
invalid digit is found. A warning is printed for this case.
It simplifies the system task/functions error/warning messages.
It removes the signed flag for the bin and dec string conversions.
This was not being used (was always false) and the new negative
value support makes this obsolete.
Add support for a real variable to handle Bin, Oct, Dec and Hex
strings. They are converted into a vvp_vector4_t which is then
converted to a real value.
Add support for setting a bit based value using a real value.
Removed an unneeded rfp signal in vpip_make_reg()
This is a major rework on the sys_fileio routines. They now have
improved compiletf routines and the calltf routines are now
standardized. Along the way a few bug were fixed as well. Some
updates to other vpi files as well.
I changed the order of the $fputc() arguments to match C and the
rest of the system functions like it ($fungetc, etc.). I recently
fixed $fungetc() so I'm assuming the $fputc() needs the same fix.
It's an Icarus specific function.
This patch cleans up some of the code to use common compiletf
routines where appropriate. It also adds code to print the
number of extra arguments and cleans up the messages a bit.
This patch cleans up the dump routines and adds file and
line number information for errors. It also adds some of
the missing MemoryWord properties so they can now be
dumped and monitored correctly.
This patch fixes a number of problems associated with the various dumpers.
1. It catches the problem uncovered in pr1809904 and prevents the core
dumps from happening. It prints a warning message if you try to change
the file after the program has started dumping data to the file.
2. It makes all the dumpers work in the same manner. Before the VCD
$dumpfile was processed at compile time, but the LXT/LXT2 versions
did this at run time. The correct place for this is the run time so
that you can pass the task a calculated name.
3. All the dumpers use common compiletf routines located in vcd_priv.c
4. Make the LXT/LXT2 $dumpfile commands only get the file name and
let $dumpvars actually open the file. This matches the VCD code.
5. Fix the $dumpfile code to allow calculated file names.
6. Make dumpvars without a scope/variable match all toplevel modules
not just the toplevel module the $dumpvars was located in. This
now matches the standard (2001).
7. Simplify the no dumper code (vcdoff.c) and add missing functions.
8. Cleanup the code and messages.
9. vvp can take -none for no dumper.
GTKWave needs to have escaped identifiers properly escaped (preceded
with a back slash) in its VCD input. Without this the name may not
display correctly. Even though it is not required, to keep things
consistent LXT and LXT2 formats also prefix escaped identifiers with
a back slash.
