When vpi_put_value() is asked to delay the assignment any pointer data
needs to be duplicated so that the caller can clean up the locally
allocated memory without causing memory access problems.
Normal Verilog does not allow a function to be defined without at
least an input argument. This patch fixes a crash that was happening
when a function with no arguments was defined. It also adds checks
and prints a descriptive error message when calling a function without
an argument.
The development branch allows this in SV.
Not all the lex/yacc (flex/bison) targets were using a consistent syntax.
This patch fixes that and explicitly serializes the *.c/*.cc and *.h build.
Not doing this was causing problem when using make -j. The issue appears to
be that if two targets are specified for a rule (e.g. file.cc file.h: file.y)
make does not realize they are both built by the same call so the rule is
executed twice. Once for the .cc target and once for the .h target. This is
not a problem for a serial build. To work around this only use the .c/.cc
file in the main target and then make the .h file depend on the .c/.cc file
as a sub-target.
This same change was done in the vpi directory. This patch fixes the
issues in the libveriuser directory. This fixed a fail in the vpi
timescale test under MinGW.
The standard allows a parameter (or localparam) declaration of the
form "parameter signed my_param = ...". The parser currently rejects
this. A small adjustment is also required in the parameter evaluation
code to correctly apply the type.
The tran island rework included an optimisation that meant that an
island port would only be resolved once the initial value for the net
attached to that port had propagated to the port. However, v0.9 does
not propagate initial values in some cases, so this optimisation
cannot be used.
The compiler was incorrectly padding real arguments to tasks if they were
assigned to vectored arguments greater than 1 bit wide. This was asserting
for some cases and generating incorrect code for others.
An @* with no sensitivities should be treated as something that will
never trigger vs something that will run continuously. This patch makes
this change and adds a warning when an @* has no sensitivities since
this is almost certainly a coding bug.
It is legal for a named block to contain variable definitions and
no statements. This patch fixes this for both style of blocks. It
also organizes the block parsing code to be a bit more clear, adds
an error case for fork/join and changes on check for size() > 0 for
the more efficient ! empty().
If a wired and/or net has more than four connections all the other
resolution branches must also be wired and/or. All other nets can
just be tri since tri0/tri1 only needs the final resolution to be
an active pull up/down.
Since synthesis is not currently supported we do not support/generate
sync/async set or clear control inputs. This is further complicated by
the fact that the VVP DFF primitive is not fully implemented.
In a specify block a full connection is defined to only support a single
source and destination path. This patch adds an error message when this
is found, except we skip the error if all the paths are a single bit
wide. This exemption was added to match the functionality found in
NC-Verilog and presumably Verilog-XL.
A message was also added in place of an assert if the source signals was
not found in the current scope.
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.
When scaling a time value we would often use the power operator to
create constants 10**-N that were then multiplied with the original
value. The problem with this is that there is some errors in the
representation of the fractional number. It is better to create a
integer value 10**N and then divide the original value by this
exact constant. You still have the calculation error, but the scale
value is now an exactly real value.
Add support for %m, suppression '*' and a maximum field width along with
a number of other fixes/enhancements. There is still no support for
%u, %v or %z.
The fix to get a C99 compliant strtod() in MinGW mistakenly set the
LDFLAGS value rather than appending to it. This meant that a LDFLAGS
supplied by the user on the configure command line would be ignored.

MinGW and Cygwin don't currently support weak function definitions.
For these platforms, make tf_getlongsimtime a strong symbol.
(cherry picked from commit 7f62579524)
MinGW has reverted to using the Microsoft msvcrt0 implementation
of the strtod() function. This implementation doesn't accept "INF"
"NaN". MinGW does provide a C99 compliant implementation of this
function called __strtod(). We need to force the linker to replace
all references to strtod() with references to __strtod().
(cherry picked from commit b6cb065404)
This patch adds error messages that forcing a word to/from a variable
array is not currently supported. This is because variable arrays no
longer are fully populated and don't have an access functor for each
word. Forcing a word from/to a net array does work as expected since
each word in a net array is created.
Technically forcing a variable array word is not supported in 1364-2005.
Reading from an array word, which is supported, will be fixed in
development once the expression rework is finished.
The error message printed when forcing a bit/part select l-value was
also improved.
Promote the unsigned values to long to get a good comparison and on a
machine where an unsigned is the same size as a long (32 bit) assert
that the unsigned values are constrained to fit into a long. It's unlikely
the values needed to create invalid results would ever happen, but this
patch makes sure it doesn't go undetected.
The VPI object data model diagrams show a one to many relationship
between the "mod path" and "path term" objects. This means that the
correct way to obtain handles to "path term" objects is to use the
vpi_iterate and vpi_scan functions.
Support for the old method of obtaining handles to "path term" objects
using the vpi_handle function is retained for backwards compatibility.
The PLI tf_getlongsimtime() function is a non-standard function provided
for compatibility with some commercial simulators. To match the behaviour
of those simulators, it should return the raw simulation time, not a
scaled time.
(cherry picked from commit a3813c006d)
The vpiDecStrVal case for the get_numeric() function needs to use the
existing string width as the minimum result size. -1 can be represented as
a signed value with a width of 1. This gives a display width of -1 which
is too small for the -1 string value. This was creating valgrind issues.
In general the string value should be the minimum so this is a safe change.
(cherry picked from commit 5a9e4aaec7)
This patch makes the code consistently use struct/class in the C++ files,
it removes a couple shadow warnings and where a class pointer is passed to
the C routines it defines the pointer as a class for C++ and as struct for C.
