When the -V flag is passed to the iverilog command, we can easily
print the version information for the driver itself, but it is also
valuable to probe all the components that would have been used for
a real compile. So the driver executes the preprocessor and the ivl
core to have them print version information.
The ivl core program also tries to load the target code generator
and get version information to print. For this to work, create a new
optional entry point "target_query" that takes a query key string as
an argument and returns a const string as the result. Use this with
the key "version" to get version information out of the target.
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 verilog preprocessing language is sufficiently simple
that the parser may be implemented by hand on top of the
lexical analyzer.
In fact, ivlpp was already implemented in this way; relevant
[bison] parser files specified no grammar, and the parser
entry-point (yyparse) was simply an indirect use of the lexical
analyzer (yylex).
Therefore, parse.y has been removed, invocations of yyparse()
have been replaced by yylex(), references to bison generated
files have been removed, and Makefile.in has been updated
accordingly.

Core preprocessor support for writing out and reading precompiled
defines. The preprocessor can read initial precompiled defines from
any number of specified source files, and can write all the defines
into a specified output file.
This patch modifies the preprocessor to handle text macros with
arguments. It also fixes a bug that prevented a `line directive
being issued after a multi-line text macro had been instantiated.
