A declaration of the form "parameter signed a = 1.0" causes a
compiler crash. The standard is somewhat contradictory on what
type "a" should have, but testing with other compilers shows a
majority in favour of it being a real value.
The standard allows a parameter (or localparam) declaration of the
form "parameter signed my_param = ...". The parser currently rejects
this. A small adjustment is also required in the parameter evaluation
code to correctly apply the type.
Now we have a code generator that can handle compressed assignments
as they have been re-imagined in elaboration. There are some cases
that are not yet supported, we'll patch them up in due course.
Most people doing real modeling don't want to bring in the whole
Verilog-AMS infrastructure to use wreal nets. This patch adds the
wreal keyword to the xtypes generation so that wreal is available
by default.
This patch adds wreal support when in Verilog-AMS mode. It doesn't add
everything that is shown in the Verilog-A standard.
It adds the following:
Declaring a wreal net.
Declaring a wreal net with an initialization.
Declaring a wreal input/output using ANSI syntax.
Declaring a wreal input/output using the old style.
Declaring wreal inout ports are also allowed and parsed, but the
compiler does not know how to handle this. There are other deviations
from what is shown in the Verilog-A standard, but this should get most
of the syntax people actually use.
An @* with no sensitivities should be treated as something that will
never trigger vs something that will run continuously. This patch makes
this change and adds a warning when an @* has no sensitivities since
this is almost certainly a coding bug.
It is legal for a named block to contain variable definitions and
no statements. This patch fixes this for both style of blocks. It
also organizes the block parsing code to be a bit more clear, adds
an error case for fork/join and changes on check for size() > 0 for
the more efficient ! empty().
To avoid a variables not initialized in the construct this patch modifies
the PSpecPath class to take the polarity and full_flag as arguments to
the constructor.
The --always flag to git describe is harmless in the normal case,
and helpful in some special cases. Also add the --dirty flag to
get extra interesting details.
If a wired and/or net has more than four connections all the other
resolution branches must also be wired and/or. All other nets can
just be tri since tri0/tri1 only needs the final resolution to be
an active pull up/down.
Since synthesis is not currently supported we do not support/generate
sync/async set or clear control inputs. This is further complicated by
the fact that the VVP DFF primitive is not fully implemented.
This patch fixes a compile problem in Cygwin where there are two
definitions for abs() that do not match so the C++ code doesn't know
which one to call. To avoid the whole mess replace the call to abs()
with the appropriate ?: construct.
In a specify block a full connection is defined to only support a single
source and destination path. This patch adds an error message when this
is found, except we skip the error if all the paths are a single bit
wide. This exemption was added to match the functionality found in
NC-Verilog and presumably Verilog-XL.
A message was also added in place of an assert if the source signals was
not found in the current scope.
Both UDPs and system functions use the wide input functor. This patch
modified the code generator to create a local net declaration for the
output net if we have either a delay or modpath connecting the output
to the true output. This is needed so that the wide input can be
cleaned up correctly.
Local real nets were also added to the local net pool when testing with
valgrind. This allows them to be cleaned up at the end.
For a delay we do not know exactly what type we will be propagating
until the initialization event has happened. Because of this we
allocate both a vec4 and a vec8 value. Once the initialization event
has happened we can free the unneeded element(s).
This patch uses the full_flag to verify that the input and output have the
same width for a parallel connection. Icarus always uses a full connection
so this is just a portability issue with other simulators.
The pform dump code was also modified to correctly display the polarity
and full/parallel connection type.
In MinGW, when parameters are passed to vhdlpp by ivlpp, single quotes
are treated as ordinary characters. Use double quotes instead, as is
done in the driver.
Also, MinGW does not have a standard mkdir() function, so we need to
convert calls to mkdir() into calls to _mkdir().
When scaling a time value we would often use the power operator to
create constants 10**-N that were then multiplied with the original
value. The problem with this is that there is some errors in the
representation of the fractional number. It is better to create a
integer value 10**N and then divide the original value by this
exact constant. You still have the calculation error, but the scale
value is now an exactly real value.
Add support for %m, suppression '*' and a maximum field width along with
a number of other fixes/enhancements. There is still no support for
%u, %v or %z.
The fix to get a C99 compliant strtod() in MinGW mistakenly set the
LDFLAGS value rather than appending to it. This meant that a LDFLAGS
supplied by the user on the configure command line would be ignored.
