This patch adds preliminary support for implementing the $table_model()
function for Verilog-A. It is not currently functional, but the VPI
interface routines and data file parsing are mostly complete. The big
things left are building the data structures and adding the interpolation
and extrapolation routines.
We also need to fix vvp to identify constant strings/parameters in a
structural context.
This patch adds support for calculating the average queue wait
time. This is accomplished by keeping two 64 bit values that
represent the high and low total wait time for all previous
queue elements. The current wait time for any elements still
in the queue are added to this total. The wait time total is
then divided by the total number of items added to the queue.
This patch adds support for calculating the queue mean inter-arrival
time. This is just the latest add time minus the first add time
divided by the number of intervals (the number of adds minus one).
This patch adds full support for the stochastic tasks/functions except
the mean inter-arrival and average wait statistics are not currently
available. These will be added in a later patch. This implementation
goes a bit beyond the standard and supports the following:
1. The job and inform arguments support 32 bit four state values.
2. The id for all routines, the job and inform arguments for $q_add(),
the statistic code for $q_exam() along with the queue type and
maximum length arguments for $q_initialize() can be less than or
equal to 32 bits. The argument will be sign extended if needed to
fill the internal 32 bit value.
3. The job and inform arguments to $q_remove() and the status argument
for all the routines must be 32 bits, but do not have to be an
integer variable (e.g. a 32 bit register or part select is OK).
4. An undefined bit in the id argument for any of the routines will
return a status of 2 (undefined queue id). Undefined bits are not
automatically converted to zero.
5. Undefined bits in the $q_initialize() queue type and maximum
length arguments or the $q_exam() statistic code argument are also
flagged as an error (are not converted to zero).
6. The $q_full() function returns 2 on error, the other routines that
return a value $q_remove() job/inform arguments and the $q_exam()
statistic value argument will usually return x on error.
7. An invalid statistic code will set the $q_exam() status to 8.
8. The $q_exam() statistic value argument can be 32 bits or larger.
This allows returning large statistical time values.
9. All time values are internally saved in simulation time units.
They will be converted to the calling module's time unit (with
rounding) before they are returned.
10. If a $q_exam() statistical value is too large to fit into the
variable the maximum positive value will be returned and the
status code will be set to 9 (value is too large).
11. If a statistical value is currently undefined $q_exam() will
return 10 (no statistical information) (e.g. using code 5 on an
empty queue).
Create the v2009.vpi module to include SystemVerilog core
functions, and start out with some of the enum methods.
Add to vvp support for creating enum types, including some
vpi access methods.
The files we get from GTKWave are not under our control so we need to
ignore the cppcheck style warnings for them. The random routines are
from the standard so they should not be changed to fix style warnings
either. We also have some weird, but correct pointer subtraction that
cppcheck warns about. This patch adds suppression files for all these
warnings. You must have the latest cppcheck from git since I submitted
a patch that adds the ability to place comments in the suppression file.
In ivl_alloc.h we redefine malloc(), realloc() and calloc() to have
standard error checking. We don't want to do this for anything that
comes from the standard headers. This specifically doesn't work if
a C++ header files does std::malloc, etc.
Also change to -W instead of -Wextra since that is more portable. I
plan to add a check from -Wextra and use it when available since it
is more descriptive.
This patch adds -Wextra to the compilation flags for C++ files in
the vvp and vpi subdirectories. It also fixes all the problems
found while adding -Wextra. This mostly entailed removing some of
the unused arguments, removing the name for others and using the
correct number of initializers.
This patch adds support for running cppcheck from the Makefile. It also
standardizes the order of some of the targets. It renames vpip_format.c
to vpip_format.cc and fixes the size of the array tables to make room
for the trailing NULL. Found when using a C++ compiler.
Create the .var/2u and .var/2s variable records and give them
basic implementations. Make available to VPI the proper types
for the SystemVerilog types that these variables represent.
Follow-up to "Brainless start to const-correct changes"
Still actually does nothing, but now if the #define ICARUS_VPI_CONST
in vpi_user.h is changed to const, Icarus is almost const-correct,
as checked with gcc flags -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings.
Choosing when to #define ICARUS_VPI_CONST const is left as an
exercise for the reader.
With these two patches applied, and the const define, there are
still about a dozen const problems left.
Results of running
cd vpi
for f in *.c *.h; do sed -i \
-e "s/_calltf(PLI_BYTE8/_calltf(ICARUS_VPI_CONST PLI_BYTE8/" \
-e "s/_compiletf(PLI_BYTE8/_compiletf(ICARUS_VPI_CONST PLI_BYTE8/" $f; done
and a trivial patch to vpi_user.h to, among other things, make
ICARUS_VPI_CONST blank.
Thus, this patch does absolutely nothing. Will be followed by a
(much shorter) patch that makes it do something. :-)
Fix all the Icarus files that can be so that we do not have any
signed/unsigned compare warnings. It also removes const as a
return qualifier for two routines in discipline.h.
A real delay must be scaled and rounded using the local precision
before it is finally scaled to the simulation time units. This
patch fixes the compiler to do this correctly or generate the
correct code for run time calculated delays. Delays in a CA
already worked correctly. The run time was also fixed to scale
modpath (SDF back annotation) delays correctly.
The functions (malloc, free, etc.) that used to be provided in
malloc.h are now provided in cstdlib for C++ files and stdlib.h for
C files. Since we require a C99 compliant compiler it makes sense
that malloc.h is no longer needed.
This patch also modifies all the C++ files to use the <c...>
version of the standard C header files (e.g. <cstdlib> vs
<stdlib.h>). Some of the files used the C++ version and others did
not. There are still a few other header changes that could be done,
but this takes care of much of it.
