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.
SystemVerilog allows variables to be either variables or unresolved
nets, depending on how they are used. If they are assigned by
procedural code, then they are variables. If they are assigned
by a continuous assignment, they are unresolved nets. Note that
they cannot be both, and when they are unresolved nets they can
only be assigned once.
The error routines for task and function definitions were incorrectly
popping the scope. This should not be done since no scope was pushed.
Also assert that the current_task/function is 0 to catch that kind of
error like the other definition rules.
Generate schemes may nest freely, but generate regions
(an anachronistic concept from 1364-2001) cannot nest,
not within schemes or other regions. Have the parser detect
the nesting and print an error message.
This is part of the 1800-2009 standard (Section 23.3.2.3) and allows
ports of module instances to be declared like:
modname instance(.foo, .bar);
instead of
modname instead(.foo(foo), .bar(bar));
The only tricky part about this is the implicit port connection shall
not create an implicit net declaration. To make this happen, the path
of least resistance was to add a bool to PEIdent indicating that it
should not implicitely create a net.
This does not rely on the generation flag to be 2009, following the
trend that new port naming convention (like ANSI style ports) work
regardless of the generation.
Added generation flag -g2009 which enables support for 1800-2009
constructs. Added related support such as "1800-2009" in the
`begin_keywords directive.
Keeps 2005 as the default generation for now.
Removed the -gsytem-verilog flag and folded the 1800-2005 stuff into
1800-2009. The rationale behind this is we have so little of
1800-2005 actually implemented that it does not make sense to
distinguish between 1800-2005 and 1800-2009 SystemVerilog extensions,
so we just count them all as the new 1800-2009 Verilog language.
Like I did for SystemVerilog the other day this patch adds all the
Verilog-AMS 2.3.1 keywords. This necessitated adding one my byte
to the gperf -k argument (byte 9) to make the laplace_?? tokens
have a unique hash.
This patch adds the SystemVerilog keywords to Icarus. This allows
use to easily verify that out plain Verilog does not contain any
SystemVerilog keywords. The keywords are not parsed in any way.
When parsing a Verilog file using -gsystem-verilog any identifier
that is a keyword will cause a parse error. It is the users
responsibility to figure out the problem since bison does not
give nice error message when it finds a keyword instead of an
identifier.
The $setuphold and $recrem timing checks can create delayed signals
that are needed to get a model to work correctly when negative timing
check values are used. Since we do not support timing checks and just
ignore them this can create simulation problems when a user tries to
use these delayed signals since they are not driven.
This patch adds a waring when the circuit is being compiled that these
delayed signals will not be driven. This will be needed until we get
time to add the real timing checks are mimic the delayed properties of
the timing check.
This patch modifies the original SystemVerilog timeunit/timeprecision
patch in the following way:
Removed trailing space.
Reworked some code to use standard spacing rules.
Added some comments.
Combined some code.
Major rework of local/global timeunit/timeprecision logic.
Major rework of timeunit/timeprecision declaration/check code.
This was needed to remove the shift/reduce warnings.
Add a number of checks for invalid combinations.
This patch adds code to parse and ignore the following timing checks:
$nochange 1364-1995
$skew 1364-1995
$fullskew 1364-2001
$removal 1364-2001
$timeskew 1364-2001
The other checks were already supported. These have not been tested,
but they use the same basic terms as the other checks. We can fully
test these when we actually implement them.
This patch adds -g2001-noconfig command line flag. The compiler
already supported this with `begin_keywords. Document this in
the manual page and fix a few other issues.
Fix endgenerate to be a 2001 keyword and add a few missing
keywords at the appropriate standard level e.g.(unsigned).
Add uwire and deprecate wone. wone used to just convert without
a warning to a wire. uwire will display a warning that it is
being converted to a wire without a check. wone is converted to
a uwire with a warning and then prints the uwire message. The
uwire message will be replaced with a real check fairly soon.
Icarus has recognized this directive, but it did not do anything
with the information. This patch adds the functionality for most
common cases. It adds this by changing the input net type from
wire/tri to tri1 or tri0 depending on the pull. The issue is that
if the input net is not a wire or tri this is not safe and should
really be done as an external pull gate connected to the input.
We will need to handle this is it ever comes up. For now a sorry
message is printed.
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 standard allows an output declared as "output reg" to be
given an initialization assignment in the output declaration.
this patch adds that functionality. Specifically:
output reg out = 1'b0;
works as expected.
The standard does not allow this, but it appears that other
simulators do. This patch adds the functionality, but prints
a warning message for the invalid task definition.
Allows iverilog to parse attribute like syntax that a common
simuator puts into automatically generated verilog code. This
syntax cannot be found in any of the IEEE standards.
The STRING lexical token was malloc based, but then was passed
to routines that are expecting a new based result. This patch
standardizes on a new/delete based approach.
The power (**) and shift operators are different from other binary
operators because their expression width calculations rely only on
their left operand, with their right operand self-determined. Get
the handling of these operators out of the PEBinary base class to
prevent confusion.
Verilog generate schemes support a special case where conditional
generate schemes that contain only a nested conditional generate
scheme do not create a new scope. Instead, it relies on the nested
generate scheme to generate the scope.
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.
Support arrays of realtime variable arrays and net arrays. This
involved a simple fix to the ivl core parser, proper support in
the code generator, and rework the runtime support in vvp.
The arguments of logical and/or are self determined, and the width is
fixed as 1 bit. Account for this special behavior by creating the
PEBLogic class.
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.
This patch removes all the checks for constant expressions performed
during the parsing phase, as these checks are (mostly) repeated during
elaboration. It adds the missing check in the elaboration phase (the
RHS of a register initialisation), and improves the error reporting
and error recovery in other checks.
This patch fixes pr2132552, which was caused by a fault in the parser
constant expression checking.
