Class constructors are the "new" method in a class description.
Elaborate the constructor as an ordinary method, but the only
way to access this method is to implicitly call it. The elaborator
will take the constructor call and generate a naked "new" expression
and implicit constructor method call with the object itself as the
return value.
Rework lexical support for PACKAGE_IDENTIFIER so that the lexor
can help with package scoped identifiers.
Pform package types and package functions up to elaboration.
defparam assignments found inside a generate block were being stored
in the enclosing module scope. They should be stored in the generate
block scope.
Also removed the genvar list from the PGenerate class, as this is
already declared in the base LexicalScope class.
An important advantage of program blocks is its ability to nest
within a module. This winds up also allowing modules to nest, which
is legal but presumably less used feature.
This patch extends the compiler to support all specparam declarations
allowed by the 1364-2005 standard. For compatibility with other
simulators, it allows specparam values to be used in any constant
expression, but outputs a warning message and disables run-time
annotation of a specparam if it is used in an expression that must
be evaluated at compile time.
This is a cleanup in preparation for better support of range lists.

This gets me to the point where the parser stashes a defined type,
and the lexical analyzer uses the type names to differentiate
IDENTIFIER and TYPE_IDENTIFIER.
To avoid a variables not initialized in the construct this patch modifies
the PSpecPath class to take the polarity and full_flag as arguments to
the constructor.
This patch uses the full_flag to verify that the input and output have the
same width for a parallel connection. Icarus always uses a full connection
so this is just a portability issue with other simulators.
The pform dump code was also modified to correctly display the polarity
and full/parallel connection type.
Add a new IVL_PR_FINAL process type.
Add a flag to NetScope in_final_ which is set when elaborating the
statement of a final procedure.
Add checks during statement elaboration for invalid statements in a
final procedure, similar to checks for statements in functions.
Do a final check to make sure no final blocks have delays.
In the vvp runtime, use "$final" as the flag for the thread created by
the final procedure. During compilation, instead of adding such a
thread to the sched_list, add it to a new schedule_final_list that
mirrors the schedule_init_list, but is run at the end of simulation.
The pform propagates the parsed enum base type information
to the elaborator so that the base type can be fully elaborated.
This is necessary to get the types of the enumeration literals
correct.
This patch changes all the iterator code to use a prefix ++ instead
of postfix since it is more efficient (no need for a temporary). It
is likely that the compiler could optimize this away, but lets make
it efficient from the start.
When enum names are used as r-values in expressions, use their
values. Treat the enum names similar to (but not exactly as)
localparams so that they fit into the rest of the elaboration
flow naturally.
I'm adding more uses of the make_range_from_width function, so
it seems like time to get rid of its use of the svector template.
This thread led to a lot of other uses of svector that had to
also be removed.
BOOL values have a specific cast from LOGIC, this node takes care
of it. Also arrange for the elaboration to insert them in the right
planes and for the code generator to generate them.
When checking for name collisions, the compiler looks for genvar
declarations in the enclosing module rather than in the current
scope, which leads to false positives. The compiler also places
all genvar declarations in the enclosing module scope, even when
the declarations are inside a generate block which has its own
scope. This patch fixes both these faults. It also fixes some
typos and outdated information in comments.
This patch adds real functionality for `celldefine and pushes this
property to the run time which can access this with vpiCellInstance.
This is technically only available for a module, but all scopes
have the property and only modules should return true when the
'endmodule' is between a `celldefine and `endcelldefine directive.
The natures of disciplines were already available, this just brings
the information forward to the ivl_target.h API and exposes them via
access functions.
The goal is to completely remove the svector class because the standard
vector class works perfectly well. This removes the uses in the Module.h
header file.
Signals may have VMA disciplines attached. Make the attached discipline
visible through the ivl_target.h API. Also, re-arrange the internal
handling of the discipline structure so that we can expose disciplines
through the ivl_target C API without creating new structures. The
t-dll-api implementations of the discipline access functions can look
at the elaborated discipline structure directly. This is possible since
the discipline parse and elaboration are very simple.
Get at least basic elaboration of analog processes and contribution
statements. Bring the statements and analog statements together and
net future elaboration work sort out which statements are valid in
a given context. This makes sense because there really is a lot of
syntactic overlap, and analog behavioral code is processed somewhat
sequentially.
Put together the infrastructure for elaborating analog statements,
including create the NetAnalogTop objects that hold analog statements
and are in turn held by the design.
While doing this, clean up the various unique initial/always enumerations
to use the ivl_process_type_t type.
Currently, parameters and localparams declared in tasks, functions,
generate blocks, and named blocks are placed in the parent module
scope. Event declarations in these scopes are not permitted (a
syntax error is reported). This patch corrects this behaviour, so
that all the above declarations are accepted and are placed in the
scope in which they are declared.
Note that the IEEE standard does not permit parameter declarations
in generate blocks. This patch causes the parser to reject such
declarations.
Statements can have attributes attached to them. Handle a few cases in
the parser where attributes may be attached to statements, and get them
as far as the pform.
This patch adds blocking repeat event controls and also makes the
base repeat statement sign aware. If the argument to repeat is
negative (it must be a signed variable) then this is treated just
like an argument of 0 (there is no looping). Doing this allows us
to model the repeat event control as follows.
lhs = repeat(count) @(event) rhs;
is translated to:
begin
temp = rhs;
repeat (count) @(event);
lhs = temp;
end
This patch also pushes the non-blocking event control
information to the elaboration phase where it will report they
are not currently supported.
It is possible for the left operand of a left shift to be not known
early during elaborate expression. In that case, make a punt expression
and expect it to be resolved later.
This patch pushes the automatic property for both tasks and
functions to the code generators. The vvp back end does not
currently support this so it will error out during code
generation. The VHDL back end should be able to use this
property and tgt-stub prints the property. Having this will
also make it easier when we do adding this to the runtime.
Contribution statements have an l-value and r-value. Parse those
expressions into pform so that elaboration has something to work with.
In this process, this patch also changes the PECallFunction class to
use the vector template instead of the svector template. The latter
doesn't add anything over the STL vector template, so this is a start
of working the svector out.
The l-value of a defparam assignment is a hierarchical name that may
include array selects to select scopes from module arrays. Therefore
it makes no sense to store parsed defparams in a map. Instead, they
should go into an ordered list. This also maked more sense because later
defparams *may* have the same name as a previous defparam, and will
override the previous defparam. So replace the map of parsed defparams
with a list of parsed defparams.
Also, as soon as the defparam expression is elaborated, the list entry
is no longer needed, so delete it. Save memory.
Generating task/function definitions involves getting the functions
to put themselves into the generate scheme instead of the module,
and getting elaboration to elaborate those definitions in the
generate scheme.
Named begin/end blocks burried within generate schemes need to be
elaborated. Handle this by remembering to elaborate_scope on the
statements within the generate scheme.
In the process, clean up/regularize some of the member names and
methods.
Before this, the types of parameters were always logic, only the
width and signed-ness could be controlled. A parameter may take
on implicit real values if the expression were real.
With this patch, the type for the parameter can be explicitly set
to logic or real. This also means that the parameter real valued
expressions need to be more crefully treated, possibly with casting
integral expressions to real values, or real expressions to integral
values.
The pform is now translated/elaborated into NetScope objects. All that
remains is to check the parameter values against the ranges. This is
to be done in the evaluate_parameters() method.
Handle parameter value ranges as far as the pform. The +-inf expressions
are not handled yet, nor is the single value exclude, but the other
cases are handled.
Pform parse enough of the natures that they can be mapped and the
disciplines can bind to them. Since Verilog-AMS expects natures to
be declared before use, we can do the binding early.
This patch adds file and line information for parameters and
local parameters. It also adds file/line stubs for signals in
the tgt-* files. It adds the pform code needed to eventually
do genvar checks and passing of genvar file/line information.
It verifies that a genvar does not have the same name as a
parameter/local parameter.
Implement in behavioral the abs/min/max operators for real values.
The parser treats these builtin functions as operators, unary or
binary, and elaborates them appropriately.
Also add enough code generator support to handle real valued expressions
in thread context.
Normally processes are found in the lexical scope of a module, but
there are special cases where processes (other then task/function
definitions) are in other lexical scopes. The most likely case is
initilizations that are in the lexical scope where the assigned
variable is declared.
In the process, the behaviors list is kept in the base PScope class
instead of the Module or any other derived lexical scope class.
Move the storage of wires (signals) out of the Module class into
the PScope base class, and instead of putting the PWires all into
the Module object, distribute them into the various lexical scopes
(derived from PScope) so that the wire names do not need to carry
scope information.
This required some rewiring of elaboration of signals, and rewriting
of lexical scope handling.
All the pform objects that represent lexical scope now are derived
from the PScope class, and are kept in a lexical_scope table so that
the scope can be managed.
Modules, functions and tasks are named scopes so derive them all
from the PScope base class. These items all take scoped items, so
the eventual plan is to move these items into PScope.
Generate case is a complex generate scheme where the items are
sub-schemes of the case generate itself. The parser handles them
something like nested generate statements, but storing the case
guards as the test expression. Then the elaborator notes the
case scheme and reaches into the case item schemes inside to make
up tests, select the generate item, and elaborate.
Rework the handling of file names to use a perm_string heap to hold
the file names, instead of the custom file name heap in the lexor.
Also rename the get_line to get_fileline to reflect its real duties.
This latter chage touched a lot of files.
