BOOL values have a specific cast from LOGIC, this node takes care
of it. Also arrange for the elaboration to insert them in the right
planes and for the code generator to generate them.
A real delay must be scaled and rounded using the local precision
before it is finally scaled to the simulation time units. This
patch fixes the compiler to do this correctly or generate the
correct code for run time calculated delays. Delays in a CA
already worked correctly. The run time was also fixed to scale
modpath (SDF back annotation) delays correctly.
You need to probe the expression width before trying to elaborate and
evaluate an expression. The eval_path_component() routine was missing
this and was causing an assert.
The Cygwin compiler is a bit picky. This patch adds some casts
to remove compilation warnings. In the past I have had warnings
off because of problems with the STL, but for this directory we
mas as well remove the warnings we can. It also does not
recognize that an assert(0) or assert(false) ends a routine so
it complains about no return at end of function or variables
not being defined.
The standard allows an output declared as "output reg" to be
given an initialization assignment in the output declaration.
this patch adds that functionality. Specifically:
output reg out = 1'b0;
works as expected.
This patch adds messages in various places to warn that constant
user functions are not supported. It uses a global variable to
indicate when we are in a constant context. This is a bit of a
kludge, but works well without needing to change a bunch of code.
It is interesting to note that ports are elaborated late enough
that if we had the constant function evaluation code they would
evaluate correctly. This also applies to the function return
range, the concatenation repeat, specparams and initial values.
Signal definitions are early enough that elaboration is what is
failing because the function body is not available (has not been
elaborated). The same thing applies to both parameters and
localparms.
This patch adds logical support for real values (!, && and ||). It
also prints an appropriate error message when a real value is
incorrectly given to an operator that does not allow real arguments
(bit-wise, reduction, shift and repeat/concatenation).
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.
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.
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.
In the transition to the new expression code we forgot how to
handle the logical not (!) of a real value. This patch adds a
more appropriate error message until we get this reimplemented.
the sub_net_from function is used by the ::synthesize method of the
NetEUnary class to make the expression 0-N. By making that function
handle a real-valued net, the NetEUnary suddenly supports real-valued
nets, and this probably helps in other places as well.
The expr:::synthesize methods need not deal with saturating left or
right shifts if they are dealt with early, in elaborate_expr methods.
So the elaborate_expr for shift takes on much more responsibility.
Since NetExpr::synthesize methods were rarely used, then had a lot
of bugs. Now that continuous assign uses these methods, these bugs
must be fixed.
Binary and Unary minus properly pad/extens its arguments,
Case compare generates correct code,
Divide properly takes on signed flag,
Signed right shift sign-extends its argument to prevent loss of sign bits
and uses the NetSignExtend instead of simple padding,
Use the correct target node for reduction NAND,
Properly handle constant arguments of NetESelect
Handle some exressions that were not handled before, include abs()
and POW.
This patch adds .cast/int and updates .cast/real to act as a local
(temporary) net and to support either a signed or unsigned input.
The vvp_vector4_t class not can convert an arbitrarily sized double
to a vector value. This removes the restriction of lround().
Also document the new statements.
This handles the general case of a non-real operand to a real-valued
division. This can turn up if only 1 operand of a divide is real. In
this case the division as a whole is real and the other operand must
be cast to real.
This method creates an extra node, but it should be a very compact
node and this node does no evaluation tricks so in the run time should
be no more expensive then folding the cast into the .arith/div.r itself.
Part selects to signals are allowed to be off the ends of the signal
itself. The bits that are beyond the vector return X. This may mean
creating constant X bits on one or both ends of the result.
Before this, the types of parameters were always logic, only the
width and signed-ness could be controlled. A parameter may take
on implicit real values if the expression were real.
With this patch, the type for the parameter can be explicitly set
to logic or real. This also means that the parameter real valued
expressions need to be more crefully treated, possibly with casting
integral expressions to real values, or real expressions to integral
values.
Logical and/or take as inputs condition expressions, which are scalar
expressions. Be sure to reduce vectors using proper logic to get the
right condition value.
This patch reworks much of the ternary code to short circuit when
possible and supports real values better. It adds a blend operator
for real values that returns 0.0 when the values differ and the value
when they match. This deviates slightly from the standard which
specifies that the value for reals is always 0.0 when the conditional
is 'bx. There are also a couple bug fixes.
These fixes have not been ported to continuous assignments yet.
Ternary operators used at compile time and in procedural assignments
should be complete (short circuit and support real values).
Rework the handling of file names to use a perm_string heap to hold
the file names, instead of the custom file name heap in the lexor.
Also rename the get_line to get_fileline to reflect its real duties.
This latter chage touched a lot of files.
Better handle cases where the scope part of a heirarchical name does
not match any existing scope, or where scope index expressions are
not correct.
