This patch adds .cast/int and updates .cast/real to act as a local
(temporary) net and to support either a signed or unsigned input.
The vvp_vector4_t class not can convert an arbitrarily sized double
to a vector value. This removes the restriction of lround().
Also document the new statements.
Within generate schemes it is possible to have nested scopes, even
more liberally then outside generate blocks. So see to it that the
scopes properly stack with the generate blocks, and that wires and
behaviors are put in the right scopes.
Generating task/function definitions involves getting the functions
to put themselves into the generate scheme instead of the module,
and getting elaboration to elaborate those definitions in the
generate scheme.
Verilog-2001 only allows a single generate item within a generate-
endgenerate region, but allowed one to collect generate schemes with
begin/end blocks. Verilog-2005 cleaned up that mess, and it is the
2005 syntax that Icarus Verilog implements. This patch detects the
anachronistic use of begin/end within the generate region, ignores
the begin/end words, and prints a warning that the user is using an
obsolete syntax.
Named begin/end blocks burried within generate schemes need to be
elaborated. Handle this by remembering to elaborate_scope on the
statements within the generate scheme.
In the process, clean up/regularize some of the member names and
methods.
This handles the general case of a non-real operand to a real-valued
division. This can turn up if only 1 operand of a divide is real. In
this case the division as a whole is real and the other operand must
be cast to real.
This method creates an extra node, but it should be a very compact
node and this node does no evaluation tricks so in the run time should
be no more expensive then folding the cast into the .arith/div.r itself.
This patch adds checks that $fopen is only called with a valid
mode argument. It also checks that the file name for $fopen{a,r,w}?
is a valid looking file name (all characters satisfy isprint()).
The later should prevent creating weird file names because of
Verilog bugs.
This patch changes the base oct to string converter to correctly
pad the top digit. x or xx should display as a single lower case
x when they are located in the top bits. Before these were being
interpreted as 00x or 0xx and displayed X. Also modified the hex
conversion to use this same scheme instead of a loop.
First, handle the trivial (but possibly common) resolution cases in
inlined code, and only call the complete function for the complicated
cases. Then clean up the complex function for readability, and account
for the constraints that the front-end function established.
Arrays of vvp_vector4_t values redundantly store some fields in every
word. Create a special type that stores vvp_vector4_t values in a form
that does not duplicate the width of all the items. This can save a lot
of space when big memories are simulated.
The schedule_assign_plucked_vector is a better way to implement the
schedule_assign_vector, or at least no worse, so remove the now
redundent schedule_assign_vector.
It is legal (though worthy of a warning, I think) for the part select
of an l-value to me out of bounds, so replace the error message with
a warning, and generate the appropriate code. In the process, clean
up some of the code for signal l-values to divide out the various kinds
of processing that can be done. This cleans things up a bit.
This is a major rework on the sys_fileio routines. They now have
improved compiletf routines and the calltf routines are now
standardized. Along the way a few bug were fixed as well. Some
updates to other vpi files as well.
I changed the order of the $fputc() arguments to match C and the
rest of the system functions like it ($fungetc, etc.). I recently
fixed $fungetc() so I'm assuming the $fputc() needs the same fix.
It's an Icarus specific function.
The load-and-add for vectors %load/vp0/s can be combined with the
load-and-add for array words, and the %load/avp0/s added to round
out the combinations. This can make for fewer instructions when
words are padded in arithmetic expressions.
The load-and-add for vectors %load/vp0/s can be combined with the
load-and-add for array words, and the %load/avp0/s added to round
out the combinations. This can make for fewer instructions when
words are padded in arithmetic expressions.
The functor_ref_lookup() function fills its argument in with the
vvp_net_t* pointer that matches the var name, so there is no need
to create the vvp_net_t object before then.
The vpiIndex is really just a different view into the same object,
so implement the trickery needed to support a vpiIndex with the
absolute minimum memory cost.
The %load/vp0 instruction adds a signed value to the signal value being
loaded, but it doesn't allow for a signed source vector. Add the
%load/vp0/s instruction that pads the loaded vector, and add the code
generator details to properly use it.
The vvp_net_fun_t objects, and derived objects, are small, and are
created in large quantities. Tightly pack them into permanently
allocated space in order to save on system allocation overhead, and
thus save overall on memory.
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.
Part select of an entire signal returns just the NetESignal itself,
but since part selects are always unsigned, even if the selected
signal is signed, we need to cast the NetESignal to unsigned first.
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.
Scheduler cells are small objects that come and go in great quantities.
Even though they are allocated and deallocated a lot, they tend to a
steady state quantity, so put together a heap that is unique for each
cell type.
This heap actually saves memory overall because cells are allocated in
chunks, thus eliminating allocator overhead, and they are pulled/pushed
from/to a heap very quickly so that what overhead remains is slight and
bounded.
The vvp_net_t objects are never deleted, so overload the new operator
to do a more space efficient permanent allocation.
The %assign/v instruction copied the vvp_vector4_t object needlessly
on its way to the scheduler. Eliminate that duplication.(cherry picked from commit d0f303463d)
The vvp_vector8_t constructor and destructor involve memory allocation
so it is best to pass these objects by reference as much as possible.
Also have the islands take more care not to perform resolution if the
inputs aren't really different.
NOTE: This is a port of commit 2f4e5bf5b6
from the "performance" branch, without the resolver scheduling changes.
This was causing test suite variances with pr1820472.v. It looks like
there might be a race in that program anyhow, but for now leave out the
resolver scheduling changes so that the rest of this commit can go in.
The __vpiPV objects express themselves as vpiPartSelect objects.
Add support for value change callbacks by attaching the callback
to the signal that we part select from.
This patch adds the time and realtime types to parameters
and local parameters. It also makes the width (range) of
an integer parameter match the variable "integer_width"
(normally 32 bits). It also converts a real value to
an integer when a range is implicitly or explicitly
given. This all matches what the standard specifies.
Fixed an error in converting -1 to a unsized verinum.
The %load/v instruction was doing some spurious resizes of the vector
that comes from the signal. Eliminate those resizes that can be
removed, and optimize some that remain.
