The C++ API for `ivl_type_t` has a method to query the total width of a
packed type. This is currently not exported to the C API and the tgt-vvp
backend implements similar functionality by querying the individual
dimensions of a type.
Export the `packed_width()` method to the C API. This allows to remove the
custom implementation from the tgt-vvp backend.

Ever since the conversion to use a stack for vectors `draw_eval_bool64()`
has been unused. The last caller of `draw_eval_bool64()` was removed in
commit e4b862f3d1 ("Clean up vector handling dead code.").
Remove `draw_eval_bool64()` and related functions as well.

When -pfileline=1 is used the queue procedural warnings have file
and line information added to the messages. Also switch the trace
debugging to be off by default.
Also, Add some preliminary missing darray functionality.
If all three rise/fall/decay delay values are constant, we can use
the vvp .delay statement variant that takes three literal numbers.
If not, we have to use the variant that takes three net inputs. If
some of the delay values are constant, we need to create constant
drivers for those delay inputs.
Defining __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 provides C99 compatible printf
and scanf routines, which avoids the need for workarounds for the
various failings of the Microsoft C runtime library.
When generating code for a condition expression, i.e. directly
before a %jmp/X statement, try to generate the result into the
flag bit without passing through the vec4 stack. For example, the
%cmpX/X instructions generate results into the flag bits, so it
makes no sense to push these bits into the vec4 stack then pop
them back into the flag bit. So try to handle this case.
When for example assigning to foo[<x>] within a contitional, and
doing synthesis, we need to create a NetSubstitute device to manage
the l-value bit selects.
119 formal void parameters added to keep -Wstrict-prototypes happy.
Process found one real missing prototype in vpi/vcd_priv.h:
EXTERN void vcd_names_delete(struct vcd_names_list_s*tab);
8 such warnings left, all in Tony's code
Redsign the handling of the return value, including a rework of
the %vpi_func syntax to carry the needed information.
Add a few more arithmetic operator instructions.
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 provides the ivl_target.h interface for class definitions
and expressions, the vvp code generator support for class objects
and properties, and the vvp run time support. Trivial class objects
now seem to work.
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.
Implement through the ivl core to the ivl_target.h API.
Also draft implementation of creating and storing arrays
in the vvp runtime and code generator.
This also advances support for string expressions in general.
Handle assignments to string variables in the code generator by
trying to calculate a string expression. This involves the new
string object thread details.
Now we have a code generator that can handle compressed assignments
as they have been re-imagined in elaboration. There are some cases
that are not yet supported, we'll patch them up in due course.
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.
This patch fixes a few compilation warnings introduced by the
enumeration code. It also updates the ivl.def file so that the
proper routines get exported under windows.
This gets the enumeration type through to the ivl_target API so
that code generators can do something with it. Generate stub
output with tgt-stub, and generate the proper vvp run time to
make simple enumerations work from end to end.
This patch modifies the real ternary operator code to support
unlimited tail recursion without overflowing the thread
registers. Head recursion is still limited by the available
registers.
It fixes the thread word checks to use a new define that has
the correct number of thread words (16). It adds a message
instead of just an assert if the thread words are exhausted.
And it also changes some of the error messages to use vvp.tgt
in the message to be consistent with the other messages.
gcc on OpenBSD reported shadow warnings for variables, arguments named
log, time and exp. This patch renanes those variables to logic, timerec
and expr.
Control inputs (i.e. the control input to tranif switches)
are not driven in any way by the island, so use .import records
instead of .port records to bring them into the island. Properly
handle the now potentially different bindings within the island
and outside the island. This means the draw_net_input_x function
is a little more sophisticated, and the node data more complex.
This patch cleans up some unneeded code. Releases some allocated
memory before the compiler quits and fixes a couple minor memory
leaks in the compiler and vvp code generator.
This is mostly a minor definition change in the parsing of literal
numbers by the vvp lexor. Allow for 64bit numbers in the .delay
records, and have the code generator also able to cope with the
situation.
Actually, the immediate value handling is a little chaotic and should
be cleaned up. This patch opens the door for allowing signed immediate
values, and uses them in a few places where they are explicitly handled.
We must go through the opcodes that can take immediate values and make
explicit whether they are signed/unsigned/etc, and what their size
limits are.
The part select of a vector is converted by the compiler during
elaboration to a 0-based canonical address. But since it is legal
to address bits below the LSB, the canonical address can be negative.
So make the part select base for selecting from signals work with
signed arithmetic and make the code generator generate negative
indices when needed.
The draw_net_input function is modified to account for nexus that is
a port of an island. Draw the ports (and the islands if necessary)
to the island and use the port output for the nexus instead of the
port input. This allows the bi-directional behavior of the port to
interpose itself in the data flow.
In this process of these changes, the draw_net_input function was
reorganized, and all the considerable amount of code for it was
moved to a file of its own. (vvp_scope.c is pretty unruly.)
Clarify that operands are typically 32bits, and have the code generator
make better use of this.
Also improve the %movi implementation to work well with marger vectors.
Add the %andi instruction to use immediate operands.
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.
