This is needed for the waveform dumpers now that vpi_iterate(vpiModule, NULL)
has been ficed to only return modules.
This includes recognising vpiProgram and vpiInterface, although the compiler
and vvp currently incorrectly classify them as modules.
The code assumed all handles stored in vpip_root_table were modules. This
is true for traditional Verilog, but not so for SystemVerilog.
Whilst here, also add support for iterating over packages.
The .scope needs to be aware of return types so that the %call/vec4
function knows how to intialize the return value. We also need to
extend the %ret/vec4 to support writing parts of the return value.
Instead of just translating a generate scope to a named begin/end scope
this patch creates a generate specific scope (vpiScopeGenerate) that is
of the vpiGenScope type. This may not match the standard 100%, but does
allow the FST dumper to denote generate scopes differently than the
other scope types. Most of the VPI code treats a vpiGenScope just like a
named block so only the FST dumper should have different behavior.
This patch updates the vvp code so it will compile with the valgrind hooks
again. There are still new constructs that need to be cleaned up correctly
and some old constructs were changed enough that the old code no longer
works, but the rest of this can be done as an incremental improvement.
Added: basic vpiPort VPI Objects for vpiModulkes
vpiDirection, vpiPortIndex, vpiName, vpiSize attributes
Since ports do not exist as net-like entities (nets either side
module instance boundaries are in effect connect directly in
the language front-ends internal representation) the port information
is effectively just meta-data passed through t-dll interface and
output as a additional annotation of module scopes in vvp.
Added: vpiLocalParam attribute for vpiParameter VPI objects
Added: support build for 32-bit target on 64-bit host (--with-m32
option to configure.in and minor tweaks to Makefiles and systemc-vpi).
The clang compiler does not like using struct to reference a class object.
This patch removes all the struct keywords for __vpiNamedEvent objects
since they are now a class and can be called without a struct/class
qualifier.
This patch also removes all the extra class qualifiers from the rest of
the source code.
The clang compiler does not like mixing class and struct references. This
patch updates all the struct __vpiHandle, etc. to use class since that is
how they are now defined.
All the methods that this structure supported are now pulled
into the __vpiHandle class as virtual methods. This includes
the vpi_free_object_ method, which required some extra trickery.
Instead of C-like data structures where the __vpiHandle base is a
leading member, make the __vpiHandle a derived class. Give the base
class a virtual destructor so that dynamic_cast works reliably, and
now pretty much all of the junk for testing if an object really is
of the derived class goes away. Also, problems with casting up to
a vpiHandle become trivial non-issues.
In ivl_alloc.h we redefine malloc(), realloc() and calloc() to have
standard error checking. We don't want to do this for anything that
comes from the standard headers. This specifically doesn't work if
a C++ header files does std::malloc, etc.
Also change to -W instead of -Wextra since that is more portable. I
plan to add a check from -Wextra and use it when available since it
is more descriptive.
This patch adds -Wextra to the compilation flags for C++ files in
the vvp and vpi subdirectories. It also fixes all the problems
found while adding -Wextra. This mostly entailed removing some of
the unused arguments, removing the name for others and using the
correct number of initializers.
The functions (malloc, free, etc.) that used to be provided in
malloc.h are now provided in cstdlib for C++ files and stdlib.h for
C files. Since we require a C99 compliant compiler it makes sense
that malloc.h is no longer needed.
This patch also modifies all the C++ files to use the <c...>
version of the standard C header files (e.g. <cstdlib> vs
<stdlib.h>). Some of the files used the C++ version and others did
not. There are still a few other header changes that could be done,
but this takes care of much of it.
The scope thread rework broek --with-valgrind builds due to the
different handling of the list of threads. Rework valgrind enabled
handling of the thread set within a scope.
The scope contains the threads running within. The rework of this
patch allows all threads to know their scope, and cleans up the
handling of threads listed in the scope.
Nets that are created after being put off for later processing to
allow the vvp_net to be created, need to be more carefully placed
in the correct scope.
