Verilog generate schemes support a special case where conditional
generate schemes that contain only a nested conditional generate
scheme do not create a new scope. Instead, it relies on the nested
generate scheme to generate the scope.
unary expressions that have problems should not assert in the
test_width method. Instead, let the error propagate back and be
handled during expression elaboration. This found a few places
where expression widths/types weren't probed before elaboration.
Signals of width 1 are declared in VHDL as std_logic, as this
is the usual way to represent them. Unfortunately, we cannot
distinguish between
reg [0:0] a;
and
reg a;
This patch avoids trying to slice a std_logic so a[0] is equivalent to a.
This patch removes the CVS ident information from the Makefile.in
files it also puts in the current version 0.9.devel for the default
VERSION definition. This is normally passed down, but a local make
will use the value from the local Makefile. This will eventually be
replaced with a file based version to give us just one place to
reliably modify the version.
Move the header files from includedir/verilog to .../iverilog
because the verilog name is a little too generic. The iverilog-vpi
command should handle the changes.
This patch makes the code generator put the compiler version
information in the vvp output file. It also adds checks in vvp
to verify that this version is compatible with the run time.
I am assuming that a base release 0.9.0, etc. will have a
blank VERSION_TAG. Any change relative to the release will have
a VERSION_TAG.
The disciplines are, from the perspective of the ivl target, collected
into the design. Add functions for the target to scan the disciplines
in the design.
In the process, also clean up the handlng of design constants.
It is ot uncommon for the arguments to logical or to leave stuff
in bit registers 4-7. Allow the lor itself to take advantage of
that to save some %mov instructions.
When padding expressions, pre-allocate the target space and calculate
the sub-expression directly into the target. Then pad from there. This
saves a move into the result space.
This patch adds a -V flag to the runtime to print version information.
It also updates the manual page to document this and makes some minor
changes to the iverilog an iverilog-vpi manual pages.
Users expect that vpi_put_value() will keep a copy of the string
that is passed to it. This patch implements this buy copying the
string and then freeing it after the actual put_value call.
In some cases, it was possible for the NetEConcat expression to
lose track of the repeat expression, causing the output result to
have a broken concatenation expression.
This also adds some internal checks that the concatenation widths
add up properly.
This patch updates the GNU address in the -V output, adds the
VERSION_TAG info to the tgt-vvp back end and adds the whole -V
hook to the tgt-vhdl back end.
When padding a signal or when creating a local signal the file and
line information should be related to where the new object was
created not the signal value it is being created from.
This patch modifies the NetE* pad_to_width() routines to take a
LineInfo object to set the location to the correct value.
It fixes some set_line() calls to use the correct location.
It fixes ports to not set the file/line information if it is
already defined. Doing this was causing the definition of
signals to become the instantiation instead of the real
module declaration.
Named blocks create scopes, and generated named blocks' scopes can
have signals declared in them. So the elaborate_sig for the generate
scheme needs to call the elaborate_sig for the processes as well as
the obvious gates and tasks/functions.
Fix for pr2224949
The compiler generates a concatenation LPM to zero-pad ports when the
signal widths don't match up. However, when the VHDL generator generated
the input signals to this LPM it incorrectly sized them to be the width
of the result.
The VHDL converter erroneously treated a casez and casex exactly
the same. In reality a casez compares a 'x' value (it is not a
don't care). It also adds support for a full don't care case by
just returning True for the condition.
When the parser detects a signal type conflict, print a more useful
error message. In the process, be more careful with what line number
is actually attributed to the declaration.
In a procedural single bit non-negated reduction (&, | or ^)
we need to translate a 1'bz to a 1'bx. The easiest way to do
that is with two %inv opcodes. This patch modifies the code
generator to do this for this very special case.
This configure option causes the installed commands to have
a suffix string that makes them distinct from other versions
that also have a suffix string. This allows for multiple
installed versions of Icarus Verilog.
Also, move installed C/C++ header files into a subdirectory of
their own under the target include directory, to make clearer
the purpose and source of those files.
Eliminate three "warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value"
Obviously not needed, but it's easier to add the superfluous parentheses
than remember that these warnings are benign.
If one of the arguments of a comparison expression has a real value, then
the expression with is 1 no matter the width of the other argument. This
means that the arguments may have different widths in this special case.
Patch is from pr2251119, suggested by Martin Whitaker.
This patch moves the checks for automatic variables being passed to
the $monitor or $strobe system tasks from the calltf routine to a
new compiletf routine. It also adds the file name and line number
of an offending call to the error message.
VHDL can't select bits from arbitrary expression so sometimes
translating IVL_EX_SELECT would fail. This is easily fixed by
replacing the select with a shift in this instance (and the
resizing)
The VVP %join function was incorrectly treating the return from a
non-automatic function as a return from an automatic function in
the case that the non-automatic function result was being used as
a parameter to an automatic function. This patch fixes this error.
A simple typo in the rhs of an expression would crash the compiler.
Example:
module crash3;
reg clk;
integer cnt1=0;
always @(posedge clk) begin
cnt1 <= (cnt==81) ? 0 : (cnt1+1);
end
endmodule
