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 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 splits any VVP net functor that needs to access both
statically and automatically allocated state into two sub-classes,
one for handling operations on statically allocated state, the
other for handling operations on automatically allocated state.
This undoes the increase in run-time memory use introduced when
automatic task/function support was first introduced.
This patch also fixes various issues with event handling in automatic
scopes. Event expressions in automatic scopes may now reference either
statically or automatically allocated variables or arrays, or part
selects or word selects thereof. More complex expressions (e.g.
containing arithmetic or logical operators, function calls, etc.) are
not currently supported.
This patch introduces some error checking for language constructs
that may not reference automatically allocated variables. Further
error checking will follow in a subsequent patch.
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.
The functor_ref_lookup() function fills its argument in with the
vvp_net_t* pointer that matches the var name, so there is no need
to create the vvp_net_t object before then.
The __vpiPV objects express themselves as vpiPartSelect objects.
Add support for value change callbacks by attaching the callback
to the signal that we part select from.
This patch makes sure that objects either support vpiFile
and vpiLineNo or adds dummy code so that a runtime error
will not occur when accessing these properties. It also
returns 1 for the size of real variables and adds a
simplified vpiIndex that matches the Memory interface.
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.
Add the vpiFile and vpiLineNo properties to system functions.
Most other objects have stubs that return "N/A"/0. Interactive
functions (called from the debugger) use <interactive> for the
file name.
The recent changes to vpi_get_str had a minor problem that was
causing a core dump when trying to get the vpiFullName of an
arrayed signal. Basically vpi_get_str is not reentrant so the
name must be duplicated. It must also be duplicated to work with
the free in the code (do not free a result_buf).
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()).
Use the new array VPI functionality (vpiIndex, vpiParent, vpiArray)
to dynamically generate array word names. The old patch to implement
was mostly reverted.
Add the array related VPI calls. These will be used to generate
the array word name only as needed to conserve space. This patch
also makes scanmem3 from the vpi test work correctly after a
slight gold file update.
This patch adds the ability to dump array words. The words are only
dumped if they appear in a $dumpvars() statement (they are not dumped
by default). The name used for the word is <array_name>[<index>], so
you can get unexpected name conflicts.
There is also a slight increase in the memory requirements since each
array word now keeps its own name information. In the future we would
like to change this, but that is a much larger rewrite of the array
code in vvp.
This patch also needs the "Prefix escaped identifier ..." patch to
work correctly (the array word name is an escaped identifier).
Clean up rather poorly written modpath vpi support, fixing the
parse of the modpath syntax element to not use pointless globals.
Collect the modpath code into the delay.cc file instead of the
inapropriate vpi_signal.cc source file.

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.
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 calculated return value for the calculated strength value of
a net was left dangling. This patch fixes that. See pr1770199 in
the regression test suite.

The standard states that the seed for the random functions should be
an integer/time variable or a register. This patch fixes the compiletf
routines to check for this. There is also a small patch to
vvp/vpi_signal.cc that removes an assert that was failing and replaces
it with appropriate code. The assert was verifying that the source was
not bigger than an integer. The problem with this is that a time
variable or register may be bigger than an integer. I altered the code
to remove the assert and copy only the lower (8 * sizeof integer) bits.
The potential overflow/loss of precision is not checked. This passes
the regression tests.
Words of net arrays were incorrectly added to the scope. They should
only be attached to the array, and accessed as a word of the array.

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.
