Users expect that vpi_put_value() will keep a copy of the string
that is passed to it. This patch implements this buy copying the
string and then freeing it after the actual put_value call.
This patch adds a number of compile and run-time checks for illegal
uses of variables declared in automatic tasks and functions. It
also adds a check for event expressions in automatic tasks that use
features not yet supported in VVP.
This patch fixes some problems found when trying to dump words
from a real wire array. There are still a few more things that
look suspicious and need testing.
Nothing to do with tab width! Eliminates useless
trailing spaces and tabs, and nearly all <space><tab>
pairings. No change to derived files (e.g., .vvp),
non-master files (e.g., lxt2_write.c) or the new tgt-vhdl
directory.
Low priority, simple entropy reduction. Please apply
unless it deletes some steganographic content you want
to keep.
This patch adds support for vpiScaledRealTime and vpiSuppressTime
to VPI callbacks. It also fixes a bug where the callback data
object was not being copied correctly and adds support for
vpiSuppressVal. This requires adding vpiSuppressVal to a few
other routines. It adds the ability for a callback to return
more than vpiScalarVal (all values supported by the
vpip_vec4_get_value() procedure). It also fixes a bug where
vpip_vec4_get_value() would incorrectly return vpiZ for a BIT4_X
scalar value. It also comments the potentially dangerous
vpiScalarVal calculation in the vvp_fun_signal::get_value()
procedure.
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.
vpi_handle_by_name() was assuming it was always given a valid scope
object. In the context of vpi_chk_error() this is not required and
some users use/abuse the interface by calling the function with invalid
objects expecting a 0 return value. This patch adds an explicit check
for the supported types vpiScope and as an extension vpiModule.
Anything else should be flagged as an error once we have vpi_chk_error()
implemented, but for now it just returns 0.
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.
This patch fixes/enhances the array part select code. It also
verifies that any lval array index in a continuous assignment
is a constant value. Also, %set/av now uses index register 1 as
described in the documentation (as a bit offset).
This patch adds ivl_scope_time_precision() to the compiler which can
be used to extract the local scope precision. tgt-stub and tgt-vvp
have been modified to use this new function and output a value that
is appropriate. The vvp runtime has been altered to use this new
data which is accessed with the vpip_time_precision_from_handle()
function. vpiTimePrecision uses this function to return the correct
precision.
Add support for accessing the modpath nodes via PLI,
and add support for the vpi_set_delays and vpi_put_delays
functions to set the delays on those paths.

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.
It appears that other simulators allow the second argument to
vpi_handle_by_name to be either a scope or a module. Allowing
a module in addition to a scope significantly increases the
usability of this function.
vpi_get_str() can now return a reasonable value for most of the
types used in vvp. I'm not certain I got all of them, but they
are easy to add if any are missing. I also fixed a couple of
typos that I found while looking for all the different types.
The argument passed to $finish and $stop is not currently used, but it
is now passed down to the functions that may someday do something
useful with it (schedule_finish() and schedule_stop() in vvp/schedule.cc).
as well as a user specified log file, set log
file to buffer lines.
Add vpi_flush function, and clear up some cunfused
return codes from other vpi functions.
Adjust $display and vcd/lxt messages to use the
standard output/log file.
