This patch updates the lxt_write.h and lxt2_write.h header files
to the latest ones from GTKWave CVS. It also adds HAVE_INTTYPES_H
to the vpi_config.h.in header.
This patch fixes two places where Icarus under certain conditions
would try to free a NULL iterator value in $dumpvars(). $dumpvars()
can have a NULL argument to indicate that all variables should be
dumped. Under two error conditions the code was trying to free
this NULL argument reference.
The standard does not define if vpi_free_object() can support a
NULL reference. Icarus does not currently allow it (it asserts).
This patch remove the old VAMS $log function. It could create confusion
with the Verilog $log task. Recent versions of VAMS and 1364-2005 use
$log10 for the base 10 logarithm.
This patch cleans up some style issues: no need to check that a value
is defined before freeing or deleting it, use C++ style casts, make
sure to NULL terminate strncpy(), empty() is faster than size() for
size == 0 or size >= 0 checks, re-scope some variables, etc.
This patch adds support for iterating over the list of vpiUserSystf
tasks/functions that have vpiUserDefn set. The vpiUserDefn property
is true by default, but you can call vpip_make_systf_system_defined()
to set this property false (will hide the vpiUserSystf object). All
the normal system tasks/functions have been modified to call this
procedure to remove them from the list of vpiUserSystf objects. Only
user defined system tasks or functions should appear in the list.
vpi_compare_objects() is just a simple are the two pointers the
same. This works correctly for the vpiUserSystf objects, but the
other handle objects have not been checked.
The latest gcc with the latest Cygwin complains when passing a char to
the toupper, tolower, isspace, isalnum, isprint, isdigit or isalpha
functions/macros. These functions are defined to take an integer. This
patch adds cast to int as needed to remove the warnings. After this
there are still two warnings related to signed/unsigned comparison in
yy_get_next_buffer() (part of flex).
The SDF file format supports zero or more timing specs. Previously
the parser was one or more. Things like tie high/low cells do not
have any delay information so zero or more is needed and matches
the standard.
This patch adds support to $sdf_annotate to ignore RECREM constructs
in the SDF file. It also adds the ability to not specify all the
values in a rtriple (e.g. 1.1::1.6).
Move check of the value $fatal is called with from the compiletf to
the calltf routine, since the value may not be known at compiletf
time. If the value is invalid, it just prints a warning that $fatal
was called with a bad finish_number, and resets it to the default 1.
Changes the compile time check for a numeric argument to a warning.
Also, fixes bug where $fatal called without an argument causes problems.
Icarus does not support interconnect delays so INTERCONNECT is
currently ignored. The SDF parser does not currently support a
bit select as a port_instance. Since we are already ignoring
the INTERCONNECT I added support for bit selects there. This
is probably the most common place to find them.
The zero element was already returned so it can not be reused a
second time. This was crashing when things went off the end of
the list since the do all functor was off by one.
In a typical debug simulation run, a user tracing all the signals
in the simulation may wind up creating millions of these. Rework
the vcd_info structure to be more compact and possibly faster to
scan.
Rather then lock/unlock the work queue ring for every item, save
tons of pthread lock manipulation by allocating to the producer
in batches. Over the long run, this doesn't change the CPU balance
or hold up either thread, but it eliminates almost 3/4 of the
lock/unlock episodes.
The time change is usually a trivial operation, so instead carry
a timestamp on all the work items and let the work thread decide
on its own when to do a SET_TIME operation. This reduces some
pthread overhead and thus gets us some better performance.
The Cygwin compiler is a bit picky. This patch adds some casts
to remove compilation warnings. In the past I have had warnings
off because of problems with the STL, but for C directories
like this it makes sense to enable the warnings. It also does
not recognize that an assert(0) or assert(false) ends a routine
so it complains about no return at end of function or variables
not being defined.
These explicit dependencies are not normally needed (because they
are covered by automatic dependency generation) but when the "-jN"
flag is passed to gmake, they help gmake schedule parallel builds.
(cherry picked from commit 5479aaf721)
This patch updated the four file lxt_write.{c,h} and
lxt2_write.{c,h} to the latest ones from GTKWave. This
required adding the wavealloc.h include file and an
update to configure.in and vpi/vpi_config.h.in to add
checks/definitions for ALLOCA and FSEEKO.
Try to put all the version stamps into common version_base.h
and version_stamp.h header files. All the source programs then
get their version from these header files.
Also handle the version stamps in the man pages by using the
version_*.h header file contents to edit the version strings
in the man page title bar markers.
This patch removes bin32 from the clean targets since it is no
longer user/created. It adds autom4te.cache to the distclean
target in the main directory. It removes the files in driver
that are not created (lexor.c parse.c, etc.). The *.cc.output
files are no longer created so removing them is not needed.
- Add missing dependency of configure on aclocal.m4.
- Remove config stamp files in make distclean (and fix another for
loop in base make distclean that I missed)
- Add stamp files to .gitignore
Use the time stamp file technique recommended by the autoconf manual
to prevent unneccesary rebuilds because of an unchanged config.h.
Uses the automake trick of generating the stamp files in the
_AC_AM_CONFIG_HEADER_HOOK macro instead of littering the source
directory with stamp-h.in files.
Add an extra ./config.status run after ./config.status --recheck
because with --recheck it doesn't actually try to remake the generated
files (and thus doesn't make the timestamp files). Thus without the
extra run, each stamp-*-h target would need to independently run
./config.status to make sure it wasn't changed by the configuration
change.
An orthogonal fix of how config.status is called in subdirectories.
When in a subdirectory and config.status is called with
../config.status and $(srcdir) is a relative path, config.status gets
confused. Fixed by replacing '../config.status --file=Makefile.in'
with 'cd ..; ./config.status --file=<dir>/Makefile.in'
We do not want to check an array word scope to see if the scope
was already included since a scope does not include array words.
They must be explicitly specified.
This patch adds $ferror() support. This is enhanced over what the standard
says needs to be supported. All file I/O routines set/clear the errno flag,
This allows $ferror() to check when an invalid fd/MCD is passed to a
system task. The $ferror() fd is only checked if errno is not set since
all the other routines will set EBADF when they are called. This allows us
to test the output from $fopen() which sets the fd to zero (an invalid fd)
when it has a problem.
The following bugs (changes) are also fixed:
Fix $fdisplay*, $fwrite*, $fstrobe*, $fflush, $fclose to not accept 0 as
a valid MCD.
For the $fdisplay*, $fwrite* and $fstrobe tasks an invalid fd/MCD is now
a warning instead of an error like the other file I/O routines.
Modify $fputc() to be a function and return a value like $ungetc().
Modify $ungetc() to return a value like the standard dictates (-1 on
error else 0) and pass the value as a full int to get EOF as an error.
Remove some extra checks that could not happen in $fseek() and to
be safe convert the numeric codes to the system symbolic values.
Skip $fstrobe callback when the fd/MCD is closed. The standard says
we need to cancel the callback, but we currently do not have the
ability to do that so just skipping this will work for now.
Free the argument handle when $fscanf() is called with an invalid fd
(memory leak).
Very minor issues dosify was not closing files so memory leaks could
show up and vpi/sys_readmem.c was passing the file after it was
closed to the lexor cleanup code. The lexor cleanup code does not
need an argument.
The LXT2 writer allows for splitting the output file into multiple
output files. The size of that output file was fixed, but needs to
be controlled by an environment variable.
Make the code smarter so it can keep fewer items in the lists.
Scopes and explicitly given variables are all that is kept.
Includes a few other refinements.
This patch adds support for dumping named events to the VCD
dumper only. The LXT and LXT2 will be added once this has
been tested more. It also reworks the $dumpvars routine
to be more consistent concerning warning messages for duplicate
signal dump requests and fixes some bugs.
For events you will get extra events at T0 and at $dumpon. I
plan to fix this, but that is much more involved.
For duplicate signal warnings. Implicit duplicates loaded
automatically from a scope will not display a warning. Only
an explicit signal request will print a warning if it was
already included. All other will be silently ignored. This
should limit the warning to only what the user cares about.
For example:
$dumpvars(0, var, scope_that_includes_var);
Will work without a warning message.
$dumpvars(0, scope_that_includes_var, var);
Will generate a warning since the var was already included
by the scope request.
Other enhancements include the start of including type
information in the output. For now integer is added, the
other type information will require changes to the code
generator and hence will only be done in development.
