Verilog-AMS defines parameter value ranges which can restrict the value
that can be assigned to a parameter. It defines this for both `parameter`
and `localparam`. Currently it is only implemented for `parameter`. Support
it for `localparam` as well for consistency.

The code for handling parameter and localparameter declarations is very
similar. Consolidate this into a single helper function.

While it is not a particular useful construct it is legal to have a
begin/end block with just variable declarations and no statements. E.g.
```
begin
int x;
end
```
At the moment there is a special rule for completely empty begin/end
blocks. Remove that rule and change the statement_or_null_list in the
begin/end block parser section to a statement_or_null_list_opt. This way it
covers both completely empty blocks as well as blocks with only variable
declarations.
Note that this already works as expected for named begin/end blocks.

packed structs and packed unions as a whole can either be signed or
unsigned. This information is used when it is used as a primary in an
expression, i.e. without accessing any of the members.
Add support for parsing and elaborating signed structs.

Allow scoped identifiers to be used as the base type for packed array
types. Scoped type identifiers can be used the same way as unscoped type
identifiers.
E.g.
```
package p;
typedef logic [1:0] vector;
endpackage
module test;
p::vector [1:0] pa;
endmodule
```
is a valid construct.

It is possible to directly declare a packed array of a struct or enum,
without having to typedef the struct or enum first. E.g.
```
struct packed {
int x;
} [1:0] pa;
```
Add support to the parser for handling this.

When creating an enum type it must be added to the scope where it is
declared so it can later be elaborated and the enum and its names can be
referenced in expressions.
In addition the names of the enum must be added to the lexor scope so that
name collisions are detected and can be reported as errors.
This is done with pform_put_enum_type_in_scope() function.
At the moment the function is called from two different places
* When adding a typedef of a enum type
* When creating a signal of a enum type
In addition the enum_type_t is added to a class scope `enum_sets` when
declaring a enum property in a class. But this only makes sure that the
enum gets elaborated, its names are not added to the lexor scope.
This works fine for the most part, but breaks for a few corner cases.
E.g. it is possible to declare a enum type as part of the subtype of
another packed type such as structs or packed arrays. E.g.
```
struct packed {
enum {
A
} e;
} s;
```
This is not covered by either of the cases above and neither do the names
of the enum get added to the lexor scope, nor is the enum type elaborated.
Another corner case that is currently not working is declaring a class
property where the type is a typedef of a enum that is declared outside of
the class. In this case the enum is elaborated again inside the class
scope. E.g. the below is supposed to work, but fails with an already
declared symbol error.
```
typedef enum {
A
} e_t;
class C;
typedef enum {
A
} e1;
e_t e2;
endclass
```
In addition since for enums declared in classes they are only added to
`enum_sets`, but names are not added to the lexor scope, it is possible to
declare a different symbol in the class scope with the same name.
E.g. the following elaborates fine
```
class C;
enum {
A
} e;
typedef int A;
endclass
```
To fix this call pform_put_enum_type_in_scope() when the enum_type_t is
created in the parser. This makes sure that it is handled the same
regardless where the type is declared or used.

Refactor the enum rule by adding a enum_base_type rule which handles the
type specific initialization. This allows to keep the non-type specific
parts in a common rule, which makes it easier to modify in future changes.

When something goes wrong when parsing a struct member, e.g. the type does
not exist, a nullptr is added to the struct member list. This will cause a
crash when iterating over the list.
E.g.
```
struct packed {
logc x;
} s;
```
Add a check so that nullptr members are not added to the list.

Use the common data_type_or_implicit rules to support type
definitions for parameters. This eliminates a bunch of special
rules in parse.y, and opens the door for parameters having
more complex types.
This.new is not allowed.
super.new beyond the first statement is not allowed.
And while I'm at it, clean up the use of "@" and "#" in
the code as tokens for this and super.
Unless explicitly declared a wire an enum output port is of variable type
and should be marked as IMPLICT_REG.
Currently this is only done when the base type of the enum is `logic`. But
it should be done for all enums regardless of their base type.
Without this change for example the following snippet
```
typedef enum {
A,
B
} E;
module M (
input E ei,
output E eo
);
always_comb eo = ei;
endmodule
```
fails with the following error message
test_enum.sv:11: error: eo is not a valid l-value in M.
test_enum.sv:8: : eo is declared here as wire.

For functions without a port list in parantheses, declarations are optional in SystemVerilog.
This is true even in IEEE1800-2005, but not in IEEE1364-2005
The unique, unique0, and priority keywords can decorate case statements
to tell the run time (or synthesis) to do extra tests (or make extra
assumptions). These tests are not implemented in the vvp run time, but
now the decorations make it to the code generators.
Explicit imports should always conflict with local declarations using
the same name. Wildcard imports only conflict if they are referenced
before a local declaration with the same name.
This also unifies the detection of identifier conflicts.
As reported on iverilog-devel on 2018-10-12, a dimension size of zero
could case the compiler to go into an infinite loop. Further tests
showed that unsized or queue dimensions entered as packed dimensions
would cause the compiler to crash.
- make primitive redefinition a warning, not an error
- make edge-sensitive ifnone a warning, not an error
This allows Icarus to be used to simulate designs using third-party
cell libraries that contain such things.
In traditional Verilog, each task_port_item must have an explicit port
direction.
In SystemVerilog, if the port direction is not specified, it should be
inherited from the preceding task_port_item for that task/function, and
only the first task_port_item should infer the direction to be 'input'.
This implements and enforces the full set of rules for determining
timescales in SystemVerilog. The previous relaxation of the rules
that allowed timescales to be redefined within the compilation unit
scope has been removed. Time unit and precision redeclarations are
now recognised after a nested module declaration.
(* my_fancy_attribute *)
foobar1 foobar (clk(clk), rst(rst) ...);
- Modifies PGModule to hold the attribute map (can be verified with pform_dump)
- pform_make_modgate(s) bind the attributes from the parser to the above map
- The attributes from PGModule are inserted into the NetScope of that module
PGModule::elaborate_scope_mod_instances_
- Currently these attributes automatically make it into netlist
- These attributes are accessible via ivl_scope_attr_cnt and ivl_scope_attr_val
from ivl_target.h
Replace explicit comparisons against generation_flag with calls to
the gn_system_verilog helper function, both for code clarity and
to fix a couple of bugs. Also simplify the implementation of the
function, as we already rely on the generation_flag enumeration
being an ordered list.
This just enables the compiler to parse path declarations that
contain part selects. As for bit selects, the part select is
discarded, and if elaboration of specify blocks is enabled,
the path declaration will be applied to the entire vector. If
elaboration is enabled, a warning message will now be output
when a bit or part select is discarded.
If a static variable declared in a task, function, or block has an
initialisation expression, SystemVerilog requires the declaration to
have an explicit static lifetime. This is supposed to be a compile
error, but for now just output a warning.
Implementing this required adding support in the parser for explicit
lifetimes in variable declarations. For now, just output an error if
the user asks for a lifetime that isn't the default for that scope.
This is syntax permitted in 1364-2001 but removed in 1364-2005.
Also update the iverilog man page to document the anachronisms warning
class that warns about use of this feature when a later generation is
selected.
The compiler was emitting a "sorry" message and aborting compilation when
it encountered attributes on a wire declaration/assignment. Change this
to a warning, as most attributes are ignored anyway.
Get rid of the data_type, signed_flag, and range arguments to the
pform_module_define_port because they add no value within the
parse.y parser. Cleaning these out will hopefully ease the addition
of new functionality.
This can be handled entirely in the parser, where we rewrite the
syntax to me a begin/end block that contains the index variable
declaration and the for loop.
The verinum arithmetic operators now observe the standard Verilog
rules for calculating the result width if all operands are sized.
If any operand is unsized, the result is lossless, as before.
They also now all observe the standard rules for handling partially
undefined operands (if any operand bit is 'x', the entire result is
'x').
I've also added the unary '-' operator, and renamed v_not() to be
the unary '~' operator. This has allowed some simplification in
other parts of the compiler.
This implementation works by detecting assignments
to constant properties in elaboration. Allow initializer
assignments to assign to the constant, error all other
assignments, and otherwise treat the constant like any
other property.
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.
Rework lexical support for PACKAGE_IDENTIFIER so that the lexor
can help with package scoped identifiers.
Pform package types and package functions up to elaboration.
This patch adds support for bool/bit vector types on the LHS of
a parameter declaration and ensures implicit casts in parameter
declarations are performed where necessary.
A package can have parameters, but it does not have specparams or
keep the order the parameters are defined. This patch skips these
items if the scope is not a Module.
This was temporarily implemented to just copy definitions to the
local scope, but the better method is to create a PEIdent that has
the package attached to it.
The parser does not distinguish between module and UDP instances, so
a UDP delay is handled by the rules used for parsing module parameter
overrides. Although these rules had been relaxed to accept the case of
a simple decimal value (e.g. #10), they did not allow a simple real
value (e.g. #0.1).
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.
In vvp, create the .var/str variable for representing strings, and
handle strings in the $display system task.
Add to vvp threads the concept of a stack of strings. This is going to
be how complex objects are to me handled in the future: forth-like
operation stacks. Also add the first two instructions to minimally get
strings to work.
In the parser, handle the variable declaration and make it available
to the ivl_target.h code generator. The vvp code generator can use this
information to generate the code for new vvp support.
The parser had been changed to support null statements in sequential
and parallel blocks (a feature introduced in SystemVerilog), but was
not supported in elaboration, leading to a compiler crash. This patch
fixes this by discarding the null statements during parsing.
