IEEE 1800-2005/9 says "each fixed-size dimension shall be represented by
an address range, such as [1:1024], or a single positive number to
specify the size of a fixed-size unpacked array, as in C. In other
words, [size] becomes the same as [0:size-1]."
This patch implements that translation in the parser. It issues a
warning when doing so when the generation flag is less than 2005-sv.
This patch adds/fixes the following:
Adds file/line information to a UDP definition.
Prints an error message if a UDP is passed signals wider than 1 bit.
A UDP should supports a range, but the compiler currently does not.
Add scope information for constants.
Fix the Icarus extension UDP table entry element 'h' to use h.
The ivl_udp_init() value is a char not unsigned.
Add FILE_NAME() for a bunch more of the ivl interface objects.
In the standard a pull device can be given both a 1 and 0 strength.
Only the appropriate one is actually used. This patch adds support
for giving both pull strength to a pull device.
This patch fixes the following problem in the compiler:
An integer task argument should be marked as an integer port.
An implicit register can be converted to either a reg or an integer.
An old style task port should default to <no type> unless reg or some
other type is provided. ANSI style is always defined. For example:
input ri;
output ro;
inout rio;
real ri, ro, rio;
should define all three task ports to be of type real.
It was a poor choice to only add -g2009 for 1800-2009 and ignore the
previous version of System Verilog 1800-2005. This patch adds a
generation for 1800-2005 and also adds `begin_keywords support for
1800-2005. The previous SystemVerilog keywords have been put under
the 1800-2005 generation and the new one from 1800-2009 have also
been added.
Cadence allows an ifnone with an edge-sensitive path. Until we understand
exactly what this is and how to implement it this patch adds a warning
that an ifnone with an edge-sensitive path is not supported.
This patch changes all the iterator code to use a prefix ++ instead
of postfix since it is more efficient (no need for a temporary). It
is likely that the compiler could optimize this away, but lets make
it efficient from the start.
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.
