Create The %callf/* opcodes to invoke user defined functions in a
more specialized way. This allows for some sanity checking on the
way, and also is a step towards keeping return values on stacks.
This causes vvp to evaluate all the input expressions for a user
function call before assigning any of them to the function input
variables. This stops the input variables being overwritten if
the same (non-automatic) function is used in one of the input
expressions.
This includes adding support for returning strings from functions,
adding initializing new darray with array_pattern strings, and
assigning an array_pattern of strings to a preallocated darray.
Also fix up support for initializing array with simple string
expression.
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.
This will hopefully improve performance slightly, but also this
intended as a model for what to do when I get around to doing the
same thing to other data types.
This patch adds support for tracing procedural statement execution in vvp.
This is accomplished by adding a new opcode that is inserted before the
code that represents a procedural statement. These opcodes also trigger
a message whenever time advances. By default these opcodes are not added.
To add them, pass the -pfileline=1 flag to the compiler. In the future we
may add support for turning the debug output on and off once the opcodes
have been added with a system task or from the interactive prompt.
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.
gcc on OpenBSD reported shadow warnings for variables, arguments named
log, time and exp. This patch renanes those variables to logic, timerec
and expr.
When evaluating a function argument expression we need to use either
the expression width or the argument width which ever is larger. This
matches the way normal assignments work. We then only take the bits
needed at the end.
Detect thread bit allocation failures and fail gracefully. Print an
error message that points at the expression in question, and return
with an error code so that the compiler exits with an error.
A right shift may generate extra bits to preserve the proper shift
characteristic. This patch replaces the assert that was forcing the
input vector to not be greater than the input port width with code
to only select the required lower bits from the vector if it is
larger than the input port.
When user defined function calls are withing a $signed, the result
needs to be properly padded. To make this work, handle padding of
a function result exactly type the padding of a signal vector. this
is natural in that the function return value *is* in a signal vector.
This fixes pr1841300.
Real value are vector width of 1, fix real literal to reflect this.
fix leaking real registers in code generation for function arguments.
Load of signal should handle conversion from real to vector. Function
arguments, type vector passed a real value, are an example where this
comes up.

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.
