This patch fixes a few compilation warnings introduced by the
enumeration code. It also updates the ivl.def file so that the
proper routines get exported under windows.
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.
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.
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 a few missing initializations to various constructors
in the vvp directory. It also enhances the array alias code to copy
more values from the aliased array.
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.
Some new shadow issues have crept in. This patch fixes these new
issues and adds -Wshadow to the normal warning flags to keep any
new occurrences from happening.
Tran islands must do their calculations using the forced values,
if any. But the output from a port must also be subject to force
filtering. It's a little ugly, but hopefully won't hurt the more
normal case.
It is acceptable to call delete on a NULL object. It's also acceptable
to assign the value to zero if it is already zero. Removing the
superfluous if should produce slightly better code since there is no
conditional to deal with except for what is likely in the delete
implementation, but that should be highly optimized.
This patch cleans up some style issues: no need to check that a value
is defined before freeing or deleting it, use C++ style casts, make
sure to NULL terminate strncpy(), empty() is faster than size() for
size == 0 or size >= 0 checks, re-scope some variables, etc.
The process of inverting and copying can be collapsed into a single
operation that should run a little faster. Also, inverting readily
vectorizes itself. I've also possibly reduced useless vvp_not_fun
iterations.
Also, include some minor tweaks to the vvp_vector8_t handling of
vector copies. This is more to clean up code, although it should
slightly improve performance as well.
The vvp thread word storage had previously been changed to always store
64-bit values, but some instructions still only operate on native long
values. This patch ensures all instructions that modify thread words
support 64-bit values.
The Cygwin compiler is a bit picky. This patch adds some casts
to remove compilation warnings. In the past I have had warnings
off because of problems with the STL, but for this directory we
may as well squash as many warings as we can. It also does not
recognize that an assert(0) or assert(false) ends a routine so
it complains about no return at end of function or variables
not being defined.
If the source and destination of a subvector to be moved in the
vvp_vector4_t::mov method is nicely word aligned, and the transfer
size is a full word, then we ar much better off handling that as
a special case. This makes the move faster, and also avoids some
shift overflow errors.
For the %mov instruction, implement a vvp_vector4_t::mov method to
manipulate the thread vector directly.
For the %load/v instruction, rework the vec4_value() methods to
avoid creating vvp_vector4_t temporaries, and therefore reduce the
copy overhead.
This patch adds code to cleanup system functions driving a
continuous assignment. It also modifies the user function
cleanup to not interfere with this. It also adds a count
of the nets and signals that were not cleaned up that is
pnly printed when running valgrind. They are not flagged
y valgrind since they are pool managed objects. There are
a few signals that need to be cleaned up and local nets
are missed so there are a lot of nets.
filters need to be able to cope with parts of vectors moving through
the net. It makes the most sense to handle every filter as a part-
selected filter.
Handle the case where the input to a net is a constant. Since nets
do not exist anymore as nodes in their own right, we need to create
a driver to drive a net from a constant.
Handle forward references of net inputs.
This patch fixes a number of bugs related to real variable and net
arrays. Specifically the following:
1. When iterating over (scanning) a net array start at base index 0
not index 1.
2. Don't fail when iterating over (scanning) a real variable array.
3. Run the array_word_change() routine when a real variable array
word is changed. This allows array ports and value change
callbacks to work correctly.
4. Update the array_word_change() routine to work with real variable
arrays.
5. Update the array port code to support real variable arrays.
6. find_name() needs to also iterate over net array words just like
memory array words.
7. Initialize all real array words to 0.0 when the array is created.
Someone got a bit too creative in reducing the original equations
I wrote to handle this. This patch reverts the previous code and
uses my original equations. This passes for both wide and narrow
vectors. The equations are slightly more complicated, but the old
z2x conversion had some overhead. I would expect the time to be
about the same, but you now get the correct results.
This is moving towards moving force/release out of the signal
class. The end-game is to remove all of the wire implementation
out of the functor and into the filter. Variables will remain in
the functor.
Move the vvp_vpi_callback to the vvp_net_sig.h header file, and
collapse some useless hierarchy. (Specifically, all callbackable
items are also wordable.)
Move the run_vpi_callback invocation for wires/variables from the
output generator to the newly implemented filter object. This is
starting to get the filter class working.
the vvp_net.h header file is getting pretty huge. This divides
the obviously separable signal functor code out into its own
header and source files.
Also, fill out the use of the filter member of the vvp_net_t
object. Test the output of the vvp_net_t against the filter.
The out pointer of a vvp_net_t object is going to be a bit more
sophisticated when we redo the handling of net signals. Take a step
towards this rework by making the pointer private and implementing
methods needed to access it.
This patch adds code to free most of the memory when vvp
finishes. It also adds valgrind hooks to manage the various
memory pools. The functionality is enabled by passing
--with-valgrind to configure. It requires that the
valgrind/memcheck.h header from a recent version of
valgrind be available. It check for the existence of this
file, but not that it is new enough (version 3.1.3 is known
to not work and version 3.4.0 is known to work).
You can still use valgrind when this option is not given,
but you will have memory that is not released and the
memory pools show as a single block.
With this vvp is 100% clean for many of the tests in the
test suite. There are still a few things that need to be
cleaned up, but it should be much easier to find any real
leaks now.
Enabling this causes a negligible increase in run time and
memory. The memory could be a problem for very large
simulations. The increase in run time is only noticeable on
very short simulations where it should not matter.
This patch fixes a number of problems related to the divide and
modulus operators.
The net version (CA) of modulus did not support a signed version.
Division or modulus of a value wider than the machine word did
not correctly check for division by zero and return 'bx.
Fixed a problem in procedural modulus. The sign of the result is
only dependent on the L-value.
Division or modulus of a signed value that was the same width as
the machine word was creating an incorrect sign mask.
Division of a signed value that would fit into a single machine
word was not checking for division by zero.
Division or modulus of a wide value was always being done as
unsigned.
Added a negative operator for vvp_vector2_t. This made
implementing the signed wide division and modulus easier.
