Currently, when a variable expression is passed to a system task,
the expression value is stored in thread memory. Values stored
in thread memory cannot safely be passed to $strobe or $monitor,
because the thread memory may get reused or deallocated before
the $strobe or $monitor task actually executes. As a temporary
measure, we just trap this case and terminate with a "sorry"
message. A proper fix would require the expression value to be
calculated at the time the $strobe or $monitor executes, not at
the time it is called.
If a strength aware net has an unambiguous HiZ1 strength, VVP treats
it as a logic '1'. It should be treated as a logic 'z'. An ambiguous
HiZ1/HiZ0 strength should also be treated as a logic 'z'.
L-value bit selects were incorrectly converting an undefined index to 0.
L-value part selects were asserting if an undefined index was given.
This patch unifies how all these are handle (including indexed part selects).
The base is set to an undefined value and an appropriate width is used.
A warning message is always printed since this is not a simple out of
range issue. It is the responsibility of the code generator to skip the
assignment, but we always want to execute the R-value since it could have
a side effect.
When VVP compiles a .array statement for a net array, it does not
know the data type, so initialises the array signed_flag to false.
We need to set the signed_flag to the correct value once we know
the data type, to allow the VPI routines to correctly format the
data.
This patchs adds an implementation of recv_vec4_pv() to the vvp_fun_concat
class. This was already present in devel, so just needed to be backported
to v0.9.
Windows and hence mingw does not follow the standard regarding the return
value of vsnprintf(). The mingw code needs to iteratively search for a
buffer large enough to print the output.
The second call to vsnprintf() needs to have a copy of the argument list
so it can run correctly. On some system vsnprintf() destorys the original
argument list.
When sending a string to a system task/function allocate the space needed
to avoid truncating the string vs using a large fixed buffer.
In vvp allocate and use an exactly sized buffer for the MCD print routine if
the fixed buffer is not large enough. Using a fixed buffer keeps normal
printing fast.
