Functions that appear in continuous assignment expressions and that
have hidden dependencies or side effects need to be re-evaluated
whenever any input to the expression changes. This patch adds support
in the compiler and vvp runtime to enable this. This is currently
activated for any system function call that has no arguments. The
user may also force it to be used for any user function by passing
the option -gstrict-ca-eval to the compiler driver.
This patch also removes the -dautomatic option which was used for
gaining confidence in the code that supports automatic tasks and
functions. It is believed that the testsuite provides reasonable
fault coverage, and further tests can be added if bugs are found.
The code base is almost shadow-free now, so this won't add much noise to the compiles.
Problems I know about:
lxt{,2}_write.c: patch sent upstream
cflexor.c: exposes gray area of name space boundary
Finish cleaning up shadowed variables, flagged by turning on -Wshadow.
No intended change in functionality. Patch looks right, and is tested
to compile and run on my machine. No regressions in the test suite.
This is the end of the simple, coordination-free patches.
The remaining shadows are special cases that will need extra attention.
When the parameter up index was being reworked someone mistakenly
used the pointer value instead of the actual value in the MSB/LSB
comparison. This obviously could give incorrect results.
This fixes up the elaboration of binary expressions found in
parameter expressions. Parameter expressions are special because
they elaborate early, before all the other parameters are necessarily
completed.
Having our users manually edit their .git/info/exclude is
tedious and this information belongs in the code repository.
So this patch creates a file .gitignore that contains the
appropriate information to exclude all the normal files
that should never be tracked in git..
The Makefile.in was incorrectly changed and this broke compilation
on MinGW. This patch basically reverts the previous changes and
uses a few more $(srcdir) paths.
Continue cleaning up shadowed variables, flagged by turning on -Wshadow.
No intended change in functionality. Patch looks right, and is tested
to compile and run on my machine. No regressions in test suite.
This patch set covers C code, with the notable exception of
vpi/lxt_write{,2}.c.
Previously only the X/Z state of the label expression was
considered to be a don't care. This patch adds that
functionality to the conditional expression as well.
This patch cleans up the Makefile.in files.
We only need to delete config.log in the lower directories.
We reference the *.in files at $(srcdir)/
We need to make distclean for the tgt-(fpga,pal,verilog) directories.
This is to cleanup the Makefile.
Add some missing "rm -r f dep"
I know we are not currently using this, but configure is building
the Makefile so it would be best if it didn't complain. This patch
adds a datarootdir target and fixes the Makefile and distclean
targets.
cadpli will not compile correctly unless it knows which DL
interface to use. This patch makes it include config.h to get
this definition. It also cleans up the Makefile.in.
This patch adds support for concatenation/repetition, signals and
part and bit select of signals for casez/x expression labels.
These along with the original constants can be mixed in almost any
order. Only constant selects are currently supported.
Specifying -pdepth=N only outputs entities that correspond
to Verilog modules found at depth < N in the hierarchy.
Setting -pdepth=0 (the default) outputs all entities.
This is for feature request 2391457
Collapse all the configure checks to a single configure script in
the root of the source tree. This makes the configure process run
a lot faster, expecially on Windows systems that are slower in general.
It is recommended that AC_CYGWIN not be used and under MinGW
the previous test was complaining about multiple calls to
AC_CANONICAL_HOST. The new test performs the same function
and also displays the MinGW status if we are compiling on
windows.
Also removed a AX_CCP_IDENT call in the vpi directory and
tgt-null is built by the top configure so there is no need
to try to run configure in that directory.
A native MinGW compile was not setting these to the correct
value. This patch makes them match what Cygwin uses. Adding
the -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base should make vvp load
slightly faster since it loads multiple DLL files.
This patch fixes the crash in MinGW make distclean. The problem
was that vpi/ and driver-vpi/ were being called twice and the
MinGW make was failing on the second call since the Makefile
was already removed.
Add a dependency on config.h and _pli_types.h in the make all
target. It is likely that only _pli_types.h was needed, but
this makes it clear that they need to be rebuilt if the .in
files change.
The lower directories that depend on the top level config.status
now have a target to rebuild the local Makefile file it the
corresponding Makefile.in changes.
We were not checking the return of the two system calls used
to get the version information from ivlpp and ivl. This patch
adds checks and prints an appropriate message if they fail.
This patch optimises away straight line sequences like:
wait for 0 ns;
wait for X ns;
to:
wait for X ns;
This tidies up the output a bit.
It also has the effect of removing all code from initial
processes where the assignments have been extracted as
VHDL signal intialisers. (c.f. pr2391337)
This prints out an error message rather than crashing out with
an assertion failure when a function assigns to a non-local
variable, which cannot be done in VHDL.
This changes the assignment statement generator so that
each VHDL declaration "knows" which type of assignment
statement can/should be used on (i.e. signals must be
assigned with <=). This will help us catch cases when
we try to use, for example, := with signals. This occurs
in pr2362211 where we try to assign to a signal within
a function (where only := can be used).
If a module's input was connected to a nexus that contained
a constant driver. That constant would be incorrectly generated
as an assignment to the input *inside* the child module (instead
of an assignment inside the instantiating module).
Remove the #ident and $Log$ strings from all the header files and
almost all of the C/C++ source files. I think it is better to get
this done all at once, then to wait for each of the files to be
touched and edited in unrelated patches.
With this small patch, building succeeds with Debian's current gcc-snapshot,
gcc (Debian 20081130-1) 4.4.0 20081130 (experimental) [trunk revision 142292]
That gcc also warns about the remaining #idents in
vvp/concat.cc
vvp/dff.h
The resulting build shows some regressions in the test suite, that
I am still investigating. The patch does not break building, or show
test suite regressions, with gcc-4.3.
This patch fixes fully out of range constant indexed part selects
to just return 'bx. It also adds support for constant undefined
base values which also just return 'bx.
A bug in the bit width calculation when building an unsized, signed
negative integer value was also fixed (-3 needs 3 bits not 2, etc.)
This patch adds the function definitions for ivl_expr_branch and
ivl_expr_nature to the ivl.def file. This is needed to get Cygwin
and MinGW to compile correctly.
Probe the widths of the case statement expressions. The expressions
are self-determined in that context, but the probe is needed to
setup the expression types.
Tran islands are a kinds of island, so seperate the tran handling
from the core island concept. This will allow for creating new
kinds of islands. (Think analog.)
The expressions of a contribution statement are real valued by
definition, but we need to do the width probing anyhow in order
to resolve types and the widths of subexpressions.
The power (**) and shift operators are different from other binary
operators because their expression width calculations rely only on
their left operand, with their right operand self-determined. Get
the handling of these operators out of the PEBinary base class to
prevent confusion.
The power operator is different in that it uses the signed version
if either of it's arguments are signed. This patch fixes the code
generator to do this correctly.
This patch adds the procedural power function %pow/s for signed
values. This has bit based inputs and outputs, but uses the double
pow() function to calculate the value.
This test was way to picky about the widths of the arguments. In real
tests, the arguments may have different widths. This especially matter
when comparing unsized values.
