MinGW has reverted to using the Microsoft msvcrt0 implementation
of the strtod() function. This implementation doesn't accept "INF"
"NaN". MinGW does provide a C99 compliant implementation of this
function called __strtod(). We need to force the linker to replace
all references to strtod() with references to __strtod().
This patch adds error messages that forcing a word to/from a variable
array is not currently supported. This is because variable arrays no
longer are fully populated and don't have an access functor for each
word. Forcing a word from/to a net array does work as expected since
each word in a net array is created.
Technically forcing a variable array word is not supported in 1364-2005.
Reading from an array word, which is supported, will be fixed in
development once the expression rework is finished.
The error message printed when forcing a bit/part select l-value was
also improved.
Promote the unsigned values to long to get a good comparison and on a
machine where an unsigned is the same size as a long (32 bit) assert
that the unsigned values are constrained to fit into a long. It's unlikely
the values needed to create invalid results would ever happen, but this
patch makes sure it doesn't go undetected.
Some of the last changes I added to the enumeration next()/prev() code
introduced a memory leak under some situations. This patch fixes the
leak by freeing the iterator before the new one is created.
The name is not currently used, but when it is it makes sense for it to
be in the base class. Also the name cannot be deleted after compiling
since it may be used later.
The VPI object data model diagrams show a one to many relationship
between the "mod path" and "path term" objects. This means that the
correct way to obtain handles to "path term" objects is to use the
vpi_iterate and vpi_scan functions.
Support for the old method of obtaining handles to "path term" objects
using the vpi_handle function is retained for backwards compatibility.
Entity generics are easily implemented as module parameters, so make
it so. Give the parameters their default values from the generic declaration.
Array bounds may use values that cannot be evaluated right away, so
put off their evaluation.
Add an implementation for the enumeration name() method. This currently
only works if the context defines the return width (e.g. the result is
assigned to a variable). It does not work in a self-determined context
(e.g. as an argument to a system function or in a comparison). This is
a limitation in the compiler/code generator/run time not the method
implementation provided here. We may need full string support to make
this work 100%.
The standard defines how to calculate the name for an access function
or iterator if one is not given. It is supposed to be vpi followed by
the words in the name with each word capitalized. For the one to many
(iterator) interface from the enumeration typespec to the individual
constants this is vpiEnumConst not vpiMember.
Rework the actual next() and prev() methods to correctly process the
numeric count argument. Also rework the compiletf routine to give better
error messages and combine the call routine for the two methods.
Add a compiletf routine that checks the arguments and then report that
the name() method is not currently implemented.
We don't currently have the information needed to correctly provide the
base typespec, but in the next() and prev() methods I need to know if
the enumeration is two or four state. This patch sets the base typespec
for four state enumerations to vpiReg and to vpiBitVar for two state
enumerations. This provide enough information to get next() and prev()
working correctly.
This patch adds vpiEnumTypespec to the list so that vpi_get_str(vpiType, ...)
returns an appropriate string when an enum type is passed.
It also adds the initial hook to allow iteration (global) over the UDP
definitions. This along with table traversal will be needed to free the
memory allocated when the UDP definition is created. Ultimately this
will all the UDP test to be valgrind clean.
The PLI tf_getlongsimtime() function is a non-standard function provided
for compatibility with some commercial simulators. To match the behaviour
of those simulators, it should return the raw simulation time, not a
scaled time.
The vpiDecStrVal case for the get_numeric() function needs to use the
existing string width as the minimum result size. -1 can be represented as
a signed value with a width of 1. This gives a display width of -1 which
is too small for the -1 string value. This was creating valgrind issues.
In general the string value should be the minimum so this is a safe change.
If a constant is padded the original constant will be freed and replaced
with a new one. This results in the ce pointer pointing to freed memory.
In reality the second check only needs to be done if the first one is
false so avoid the whole issue by only performing the second check if
the first on is false.
If a wait statement has a constant argument then the mode must be defined
before test_width() is called since the current mode is used in the
PENumber test_width routine.
Add code to allow an enumeration method to be called as a function.
This is only the compiler support. The runtime support is still missing
so only an empty argument call will succeed (e.g. next(), etc.). For now
the rest get a warning message.
Update the line number for a couple cppcheck suppressions and add one for
the pool variable in the vvp directory.
Also move a check for null to the correct place.
