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.
Fold the bi-directional part select into the pass switch (tran) support
so that it can be really bi-directional. This involves adding a new
tranvp device that does part select in tran islands, and reworking the
tran island resolution to handle non-identical nodes. This will be needed
for resistive tran devices anyhow.
The vvp_island classes are added, as well as support for tranif nodes
that use this concept. The result is a working implementation for
tranif0 and tranif1.
In the process, the symbol table functions were cleaned up and made
into templates for better type safety, and the vvp_net_ptr_t was
generalized so that it can be used by the branches in the island
implementation.
Also fix up the array handling to use the better symbol table support,
and to remember to clear its own table when linking is done.
It is possible for the code generator to create .array/port objects
before the .array object that the port refereces, so use the resolv_list
to arrange for binding during cleanup.
Save tons of space per memory word by not creating a vpi handle for
each and every word of a variable array. (Net arrays still get a
vpiHandle for every word.) The consequence of this is that all
accesses to a variable array need to go through the indexing.
This commit handles the most common places where this impacts, but
there are still problems.
This patch adds file and line information for parameters and
local parameters. It also adds file/line stubs for signals in
the tgt-* files. It adds the pform code needed to eventually
do genvar checks and passing of genvar file/line information.
It verifies that a genvar does not have the same name as a
parameter/local parameter.
This patch adds code to push the file and line information
for scope objects (modules, functions, tasks, etc.) to the
runtime. For modules, this includes the definition fields.
This patch adds ifnone functionality. It does not produce an
error when both an ifnone and an unconditional simple module
path are given. For this case the ifnone delays are ignored.
vvp did not have the ability to handle real parameters.
This patch fixes that omission. Parameters are only used
by vpi calls to get compile time information.
This patch adds the power operator for signed bit based values
in a continuous assignment. It also fixes a few other power
expression width problems. The expression width is still not
calculated correctly, since the correct method can produce huge
possible bit widths. The result is currently limited to the width
of the native long. This is because lround() is used to convert
from a double to an integer. A check in the code generator protects
the runtime from this limitation.
This patch adds the power operator for unsigned bit based values
in a continuous assignment. It also refactors the power code for
normal expressions and continuous assignments.
Add the vpiFile and vpiLineNo properties to system functions.
Most other objects have stubs that return "N/A"/0. Interactive
functions (called from the debugger) use <interactive> for the
file name.
With this change, local symbols are not emitted in the vvp target,
but are marked as local. When thus marked, the vvp run time does not
offfer any VPI access and the signals (net or var) are effectively
invisible.
The modpath source node defines the modpath object, and carries the
nodes for the source expression. The modpath outputs are references
by pointers to the vpiModPath that is not in itself a vpi object
any more. This makes the VPI view of a module path look like the
source-destinaiton pair that is the IEEE1364 description of the
modpath.
Add vvp support for modpath path term outputs. This also introduces
the concept of path terms and moves towards the path term in general
for getting at the endpoits of a modpath.
Clean up rather poorly written modpath vpi support, fixing the
parse of the modpath syntax element to not use pointless globals.
Collect the modpath code into the delay.cc file instead of the
inapropriate vpi_signal.cc source file.

This patch adds ivl_scope_time_precision() to the compiler which can
be used to extract the local scope precision. tgt-stub and tgt-vvp
have been modified to use this new function and output a value that
is appropriate. The vvp runtime has been altered to use this new
data which is accessed with the vpip_time_precision_from_handle()
function. vpiTimePrecision uses this function to return the correct
precision.
Delat the compiletf calls until after all the label references
are resolved and link bindings are complete. Otherwise, there may
be dangling references.

The runtime is a vvp runtime engine debug aid that allows for
detailed dump into a debug log. The trace is enabled by setting
the VVP_DEBUG variable and activating specific debug messages
in the vvp source.

Arrays of nets that have all their words collapsed together can become
a collapsed array as a whole. Add support for this case in the vvp code
generator and runtime.
more general concept of arrays. The NetMemory and NetEMemory
classes are removed from the ivl core program, and the IVL_LPM_RAM
lpm type is removed from the ivl_target API.
