This patch fixes two places where Icarus under certain conditions
would try to free a NULL iterator value in $dumpvars(). $dumpvars()
can have a NULL argument to indicate that all variables should be
dumped. Under two error conditions the code was trying to free
this NULL argument reference.
The standard does not define if vpi_free_object() can support a
NULL reference. Icarus does not currently allow it (it asserts).
This patch remove the old VAMS $log function. It could create confusion
with the Verilog $log task. Recent versions of VAMS and 1364-2005 use
$log10 for the base 10 logarithm.
This patch cleans up some style issues: no need to check that a value
is defined before freeing or deleting it, use C++ style casts, make
sure to NULL terminate strncpy(), empty() is faster than size() for
size == 0 or size >= 0 checks, re-scope some variables, etc.
This patch adds support for iterating over the list of vpiUserSystf
tasks/functions that have vpiUserDefn set. The vpiUserDefn property
is true by default, but you can call vpip_make_systf_system_defined()
to set this property false (will hide the vpiUserSystf object). All
the normal system tasks/functions have been modified to call this
procedure to remove them from the list of vpiUserSystf objects. Only
user defined system tasks or functions should appear in the list.
vpi_compare_objects() is just a simple are the two pointers the
same. This works correctly for the vpiUserSystf objects, but the
other handle objects have not been checked.
The latest gcc with the latest Cygwin complains when passing a char to
the toupper, tolower, isspace, isalnum, isprint, isdigit or isalpha
functions/macros. These functions are defined to take an integer. This
patch adds cast to int as needed to remove the warnings. After this
there are still two warnings related to signed/unsigned comparison in
yy_get_next_buffer() (part of flex).
The SDF file format supports zero or more timing specs. Previously
the parser was one or more. Things like tie high/low cells do not
have any delay information so zero or more is needed and matches
the standard.
This patch adds support to $sdf_annotate to ignore RECREM constructs
in the SDF file. It also adds the ability to not specify all the
values in a rtriple (e.g. 1.1::1.6).
Move check of the value $fatal is called with from the compiletf to
the calltf routine, since the value may not be known at compiletf
time. If the value is invalid, it just prints a warning that $fatal
was called with a bad finish_number, and resets it to the default 1.
Changes the compile time check for a numeric argument to a warning.
Also, fixes bug where $fatal called without an argument causes problems.
Icarus does not support interconnect delays so INTERCONNECT is
currently ignored. The SDF parser does not currently support a
bit select as a port_instance. Since we are already ignoring
the INTERCONNECT I added support for bit selects there. This
is probably the most common place to find them.
The zero element was already returned so it can not be reused a
second time. This was crashing when things went off the end of
the list since the do all functor was off by one.
In a typical debug simulation run, a user tracing all the signals
in the simulation may wind up creating millions of these. Rework
the vcd_info structure to be more compact and possibly faster to
scan.
Rather then lock/unlock the work queue ring for every item, save
tons of pthread lock manipulation by allocating to the producer
in batches. Over the long run, this doesn't change the CPU balance
or hold up either thread, but it eliminates almost 3/4 of the
lock/unlock episodes.
The time change is usually a trivial operation, so instead carry
a timestamp on all the work items and let the work thread decide
on its own when to do a SET_TIME operation. This reduces some
pthread overhead and thus gets us some better performance.
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 C directories
like this it makes sense to enable the warnings. 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.
These explicit dependencies are not normally needed (because they
are covered by automatic dependency generation) but when the "-jN"
flag is passed to gmake, they help gmake schedule parallel builds.
(cherry picked from commit 5479aaf721)
This patch updated the four file lxt_write.{c,h} and
lxt2_write.{c,h} to the latest ones from GTKWave. This
required adding the wavealloc.h include file and an
update to configure.in and vpi/vpi_config.h.in to add
checks/definitions for ALLOCA and FSEEKO.
Try to put all the version stamps into common version_base.h
and version_stamp.h header files. All the source programs then
get their version from these header files.
Also handle the version stamps in the man pages by using the
version_*.h header file contents to edit the version strings
in the man page title bar markers.
This patch removes bin32 from the clean targets since it is no
longer user/created. It adds autom4te.cache to the distclean
target in the main directory. It removes the files in driver
that are not created (lexor.c parse.c, etc.). The *.cc.output
files are no longer created so removing them is not needed.
- Add missing dependency of configure on aclocal.m4.
- Remove config stamp files in make distclean (and fix another for
loop in base make distclean that I missed)
- Add stamp files to .gitignore
Use the time stamp file technique recommended by the autoconf manual
to prevent unneccesary rebuilds because of an unchanged config.h.
Uses the automake trick of generating the stamp files in the
_AC_AM_CONFIG_HEADER_HOOK macro instead of littering the source
directory with stamp-h.in files.
Add an extra ./config.status run after ./config.status --recheck
because with --recheck it doesn't actually try to remake the generated
files (and thus doesn't make the timestamp files). Thus without the
extra run, each stamp-*-h target would need to independently run
./config.status to make sure it wasn't changed by the configuration
change.
An orthogonal fix of how config.status is called in subdirectories.
When in a subdirectory and config.status is called with
../config.status and $(srcdir) is a relative path, config.status gets
confused. Fixed by replacing '../config.status --file=Makefile.in'
with 'cd ..; ./config.status --file=<dir>/Makefile.in'
We do not want to check an array word scope to see if the scope
was already included since a scope does not include array words.
They must be explicitly specified.
This patch adds $ferror() support. This is enhanced over what the standard
says needs to be supported. All file I/O routines set/clear the errno flag,
This allows $ferror() to check when an invalid fd/MCD is passed to a
system task. The $ferror() fd is only checked if errno is not set since
all the other routines will set EBADF when they are called. This allows us
to test the output from $fopen() which sets the fd to zero (an invalid fd)
when it has a problem.
The following bugs (changes) are also fixed:
Fix $fdisplay*, $fwrite*, $fstrobe*, $fflush, $fclose to not accept 0 as
a valid MCD.
For the $fdisplay*, $fwrite* and $fstrobe tasks an invalid fd/MCD is now
a warning instead of an error like the other file I/O routines.
Modify $fputc() to be a function and return a value like $ungetc().
Modify $ungetc() to return a value like the standard dictates (-1 on
error else 0) and pass the value as a full int to get EOF as an error.
Remove some extra checks that could not happen in $fseek() and to
be safe convert the numeric codes to the system symbolic values.
Skip $fstrobe callback when the fd/MCD is closed. The standard says
we need to cancel the callback, but we currently do not have the
ability to do that so just skipping this will work for now.
Free the argument handle when $fscanf() is called with an invalid fd
(memory leak).
Very minor issues dosify was not closing files so memory leaks could
show up and vpi/sys_readmem.c was passing the file after it was
closed to the lexor cleanup code. The lexor cleanup code does not
need an argument.
The LXT2 writer allows for splitting the output file into multiple
output files. The size of that output file was fixed, but needs to
be controlled by an environment variable.
Make the code smarter so it can keep fewer items in the lists.
Scopes and explicitly given variables are all that is kept.
Includes a few other refinements.
This patch adds support for dumping named events to the VCD
dumper only. The LXT and LXT2 will be added once this has
been tested more. It also reworks the $dumpvars routine
to be more consistent concerning warning messages for duplicate
signal dump requests and fixes some bugs.
For events you will get extra events at T0 and at $dumpon. I
plan to fix this, but that is much more involved.
For duplicate signal warnings. Implicit duplicates loaded
automatically from a scope will not display a warning. Only
an explicit signal request will print a warning if it was
already included. All other will be silently ignored. This
should limit the warning to only what the user cares about.
For example:
$dumpvars(0, var, scope_that_includes_var);
Will work without a warning message.
$dumpvars(0, scope_that_includes_var, var);
Will generate a warning since the var was already included
by the scope request.
Other enhancements include the start of including type
information in the output. For now integer is added, the
other type information will require changes to the code
generator and hence will only be done in development.
This patch removes some of the unneeded differences in the
various dumper routines. This is the start of a complete
refactoring, but the first task is to make them as common
as possible and this is the start of that.
This patch changes the initial buffer size when displaying results
to 512 from 256. This initial buffer is used as the default for the
floating point results and failed when %f is given a large, but
valid value. To make this even more safe we add the precision to
the size to make sure we do not overflow the buffer.
When dumping an array word the name is implicitly converted to
an escaped identifier. If this implicit name conflicts with an
explicitly created escaped identifier this patch will print a
warning message warning that the array word will conflict with
an escaped identifier.
Dumping array words is an enhancement that we have added to Icarus.
The problem was that if you wanted to dump the whole array you would
like to use a for loop as follows:
for (lp = 0; lp < max ; lp = lp + 1) $dumpvars(0, array[lp]);
This used to work, but some of the VPI rework broke it because it
counted on the word select to be constant. This patch restores the
functionality by converting the variable word select into a constant
word select in the calltf routine. This is done without warning and
only for the $dumpvars() routine.
Adding this functionality necessitated adding support for vpiIndex
to the &A<> routines.
This patch adds better error messages (compiletf) for the optional
system tasks and functions (Annex C 1364-2005). Doing this also
makes calling them fail more gracefully (it is no longer a RE).
This patch add a new system function $readmempath. It accepts
a ":" separated list of directories that $readmem{b,h} will
use when trying to open a given file. If the file given to
$readmem{b,h} starts with a '/' (an absolute path) the search
list will not be used. A new call to $readmempath will replace
the previous search list with the given list. The search list
elements are check to see if they exist and are directories.
If not a warning will be displayed and they will not be added
to the list.
When the VAMS math functions were originally built we did a
straight copy of the log() function to $log(). This can
conflict with other Verilog-D definitions of $log. We
need to deprecate this function and remove it before the
next major release.
This patch adds the $fread() system function. Icarus does not
currently allow missing arguments in functions so the following
standard specified functionality is not supported:
res = $fread(mem, fd,,count);
It also fixes a memory leak in fopen related to the get_filename
refactoring I recently did.
(cherry picked from commit 036c176e8b)
This patch adds compiletf routines for the $sscanf/$fscanf
functions. It does not enhance the conversion routines it
only adds better error/warning messages.
It also removed the redundant IS_MCD in some of the fileio
calltf routines. This is already checked in vpi_get_file().
I also added the vpiNetArray type to allow us to distinguish
arrays of nets from other arrays (memories). Much more is
needed here, but this solved the problem of the day. The
problem was that we needed to make sure we could assign to
the word of a variable array, but not the word of a net array.
It's actually probably not needed since Icarus converts the
net array word reference to just the net, but I thought it
prudent to make sure things didn't slip by.
This patch adds compiletf routines for the mti random functions
and adds a common routine to check for extra arguments. It also
adds file and line information to the rest of the compiletf
routines that were missing them.
This patch adds compilef routines for the readmemb/h and
writememb/h system tasks. It also fixes some errors related
to arrays with negative range values. You can not specify a
negative address in the file, but arrays with negative range
values or negative start/finish argument to the tasks are
supported. It also generates an error when reading invalid
character from the input file.
A significant amount of the code is common between the two
styles of tasks so this has been grouped into common
routines.
It also adds a common routine for getting a string that will
be used as a file name. This routine is used by any task
that requires a file name value. If a filename has a
non-printable character it will be displayed as a \octal
constant to show what the character is.
Updates the dumping routines to match each other better,
improves some error messages and fixes a bug in the LXT2
dumper when dumping greater than 32 bit delays.
This patch adds support for the other edges 01, 10, etc. These still
need to be verified in the context of IOPATHs, but they are ignored
in the timing checks and that's what was needed.
This patch updates the compiletf for $sdf_annotate() to better
check the arguments and to display the file and line location
when an error/warning does occur. It does the same for the
calltf messages. It also fixes a couple of subtle bugs.
First we need to look for a NULL string not a NULL value. The
result buffer should always be defined so will never be NULL.
Next if a scope has no modules we should return like the module
was not found (return 0) vs asserting.
The newer mkinstalldirs can handle paths that have spaces in them.
While I'm at it, I also updated the Makefiles so that installation
can also work to DESTDIR directories that have spaces.
When cleaning up the &A<> and &PV<> we need to check if the handle
argument is a nested call to another &A<> or &PV<> if it is then
we need to also delete that construct.
We also need to cleanup the vcd_info information list.
elaborate.cc:2456: warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of &
vpi/vcd_priv.c:210: warning: operation on 'idx' may be undefined
Probable behavior change. Passes testsuite.
This patch cleans up the V-2005 and V-analog math functions to
free their allocated memory at the end of simulation. It also
modifies the veriusertfs code to do the same thing.
It also closes the VCD file at EOS.
This patch fixes some issues in the previous patch. Specifically
I need to use vpi_mcd_printf and some trickery was needed to
prevent the compiler from complaining about the format string.
This completes the transition to the new string based formatting.
All the tasks now use the string formatting routines. Better
compile time checking and better messages were also added.
Also a couple of types were added to vpi_get_str(vpiType, ...)
and the calculation for vpiConstantSelect was fixed for both
the &A<> and &PV<> constructs. If the value is a plain variable
or if it is calculated in thread space we assume it is not a
constant. This may not be true because of limitations/bugs in
the compiler (constant user functions are one known problem).
This patch modifies $strobe and $fstrobe to use the string
formatting routines. It also combines the $display/$write
and $fdisplay/$fwrite routines into one and removes the
old routines that are no longer needed.
This patch fixes a bunch of memory leaks in vvp and converts the
T_STRING lexical token to be new based. There are still two
known leaks that I need to find a way to fix and likely some
unknown leaks that still need to be found and fixed.
This patch makes the $fdisplay() and $fwrite() family of task
use the string formatting code. It also adds a compiletf routine
for the tasks and a run time check that the FD or MCD is correct.
If not it fails instead of just dropping the output.
It also cleans up a couple of memory leaks and adds no argument
compiletf routines for the $monitoron/$monitoroff tasks.
This patch fixes some technically benign problems found by valgrind,
but we may as well give the values a default to make sure things
work correctly. I believe that the default I choose is the
appropriate value for the context.
The other problem is that real valued (local)parameters should be
printed as a real value like a real variable, etc. Trying to
do this as a decimal with the string formatting was causing a
memory problem. I could have fixed the routine to handle this,
but the better solution was to just display things the right way.
This patch does a number of things.
It adds file and line number information to the strobe_cb_info
structure. This allows the $swrite and $sformat calls to reference
their location in warning/error messages.
Their compiletf and calltf routines also display file and line
number information in messages.
The $display routine was converted to use the string formatting
routine. This can be reverted by defining USE_OLD_DISPLAY. The
old code will be removed once there has been more testing.
A number of bugs were fixed that were discovered with the
$display code.
The output of some conversions, variables and system functions
were changed to match the original display code or to better
match expectation.
Leading zero support was added to the %b/%b, %o/%O, %h/%H, %x/%X,
%c/%C and %d/%D. The floating point conversions already supported
adding a leading zero.
This is the start of converting all the various display tasks to use
the string formatting code and a cleanup/update of the sys_display.c
file in general.
Rather then spread VERSION= defines throughout all the makefiles, put
the base version in version_base.in. Use that to generate a version.h
that includes the base version as well as the detailed version.
This reverts commit 31d67fcd3e.
The concensus has been that this causes too many build problems in
the general case and what is needed instead is a way to turn on the
extra warnings for developers only.
The code base is almost shadow-free now, so this won't add much noise to the compiles.
Problems I know about:
lxt{,2}_write.c: patch sent upstream
cflexor.c: exposes gray area of name space boundary
Continue cleaning up shadowed variables, flagged by turning on -Wshadow.
No intended change in functionality. Patch looks right, and is tested
to compile and run on my machine. No regressions in test suite.
This patch set covers C code, with the notable exception of
vpi/lxt_write{,2}.c.
This patch cleans up the Makefile.in files.
We only need to delete config.log in the lower directories.
We reference the *.in files at $(srcdir)/
We need to make distclean for the tgt-(fpga,pal,verilog) directories.
This is to cleanup the Makefile.
Add some missing "rm -r f dep"
Collapse all the configure checks to a single configure script in
the root of the source tree. This makes the configure process run
a lot faster, expecially on Windows systems that are slower in general.
It is recommended that AC_CYGWIN not be used and under MinGW
the previous test was complaining about multiple calls to
AC_CANONICAL_HOST. The new test performs the same function
and also displays the MinGW status if we are compiling on
windows.
Also removed a AX_CCP_IDENT call in the vpi directory and
tgt-null is built by the top configure so there is no need
to try to run configure in that directory.
Remove the #ident and $Log$ strings from all the header files and
almost all of the C/C++ source files. I think it is better to get
this done all at once, then to wait for each of the files to be
touched and edited in unrelated patches.
This configure option causes the installed commands to have
a suffix string that makes them distinct from other versions
that also have a suffix string. This allows for multiple
installed versions of Icarus Verilog.
Also, move installed C/C++ header files into a subdirectory of
their own under the target include directory, to make clearer
the purpose and source of those files.
This patch moves the checks for automatic variables being passed to
the $monitor or $strobe system tasks from the calltf routine to a
new compiletf routine. It also adds the file name and line number
of an offending call to the error message.
This patch addresses a number of issues:
Rewrote the $test$plusargs and $value$plusargs routines to have
better error/warning messages, to support runtime strings, to
correctly load bit based values (truncating, padding, negative
value), added support for the real formats using strtod() and
added "x/X" as an alias for "h/H" to match the other part of
Icarus.
Rewrite the vpip_{bin,oct,hex}_str_to_vec4 routines to ignore
embedded "_" characters. Add support for a negative value and
set the entire value to 'bx if an invalid digit is found. A
warning is printed for this case.
Rewrite vpip_dec_str_to_vec4 to ignore embedded "_" characters,
to support a single "x" or "z" constant and to return 'bx if an
invalid digit is found. A warning is printed for this case.
It simplifies the system task/functions error/warning messages.
It removes the signed flag for the bin and dec string conversions.
This was not being used (was always false) and the new negative
value support makes this obsolete.
Add support for a real variable to handle Bin, Oct, Dec and Hex
strings. They are converted into a vvp_vector4_t which is then
converted to a real value.
Add support for setting a bit based value using a real value.
Removed an unneeded rfp signal in vpip_make_reg()
This patch adds a number of compile and run-time checks for illegal
uses of variables declared in automatic tasks and functions. It
also adds a check for event expressions in automatic tasks that use
features not yet supported in VVP.
This patch splits any VVP net functor that needs to access both
statically and automatically allocated state into two sub-classes,
one for handling operations on statically allocated state, the
other for handling operations on automatically allocated state.
This undoes the increase in run-time memory use introduced when
automatic task/function support was first introduced.
This patch also fixes various issues with event handling in automatic
scopes. Event expressions in automatic scopes may now reference either
statically or automatically allocated variables or arrays, or part
selects or word selects thereof. More complex expressions (e.g.
containing arithmetic or logical operators, function calls, etc.) are
not currently supported.
This patch introduces some error checking for language constructs
that may not reference automatically allocated variables. Further
error checking will follow in a subsequent patch.
Nothing to do with tab width! Eliminates useless
trailing spaces and tabs, and nearly all <space><tab>
pairings. No change to derived files (e.g., .vvp),
non-master files (e.g., lxt2_write.c) or the new tgt-vhdl
directory.
Low priority, simple entropy reduction. Please apply
unless it deletes some steganographic content you want
to keep.
This patch adds the constant system functions for Verilog-2005
and Verilog-AMS. These are evaluated at compile time. $abs(),
$min() and $max() support their polymorphic behavior in the
compiler where it really matters. They are always evaluated
as reals in the run time and the result/argument(s) will be
converted as needed.
The Verilog-2005 functions are available if using the 2005
generation (default) and if either the icarus-misc (also on
by default) or verilog-ams flags are set.
The Verilog-AMS functions are available if either the
icarus-misc or verilog-ams flags are set.
This patch adds an error message for the standard system
tasks and functions that are not currently implemented.
These are currently $fmonitor*, $ferror, $fread, the
queue and PLA tasks.
This patch adds the $clog2 system function. It also makes this
function work as a constant function. The runtime version still
needs to be updated to use an integer based version instead of
the current double based method. The double method suffers from
rounding errors.
The old code returns a vpiIntVal for $fscanf("%d") format strings. This
limits the maximum input range arbitrarily to 32 bit.
This patch implements %d parsing similiar to %b and %x.
'?' and 'X' chars are not accepted for %d format.
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 patch adds checks that $fopen is only called with a valid
mode argument. It also checks that the file name for $fopen{a,r,w}?
is a valid looking file name (all characters satisfy isprint()).
The later should prevent creating weird file names because of
Verilog bugs.
This is a major rework on the sys_fileio routines. They now have
improved compiletf routines and the calltf routines are now
standardized. Along the way a few bug were fixed as well. Some
updates to other vpi files as well.
I changed the order of the $fputc() arguments to match C and the
rest of the system functions like it ($fungetc, etc.). I recently
fixed $fungetc() so I'm assuming the $fputc() needs the same fix.
It's an Icarus specific function.
The __vpiPV objects express themselves as vpiPartSelect objects.
Add support for value change callbacks by attaching the callback
to the signal that we part select from.
This patch cleans up some of the code to use common compiletf
routines where appropriate. It also adds code to print the
number of extra arguments and cleans up the messages a bit.
This patch cleans up the dump routines and adds file and
line number information for errors. It also adds some of
the missing MemoryWord properties so they can now be
dumped and monitored correctly.
This patch adds $simparam and $simparam$str from Verilog-A.
The analog simulator parameters return 0.0 or N/A. The
vvp_cpu_wordsize system function has been moved into the
$simparam call and is now named CPUWordSize.
This patch also starts the factoring of common code in the
vpi directory. Some routines were renamed.
The priv.c file was renamed to sys_priv.c to match the
include file.
System functions can now have strings put to their output.
The MinGW system() implementation appears to return the straight
return value instead of the waitpid() like result that more
normal systems return. Because of this just return the system()
result without processing for MinGW compilations.
Older version of the MinGW runtime (pre 3.14) just used the
underlying vsnprintf(). Which has some problems. The 3.14 version
has some nice improvements, but it has a sever bug when processing
"%*.*f", -1, -1, <some_real_value>. Because of this we need to use
the underlying version without the enhancements for now.
snprintf prints %p differently than the other printf routines
so use _snprintf to get consistent results.
Only build the PDF files if both man and ps2pdf exist.
MinGW does not know about the z modifier for %d, %u, etc.
Add some missing Makefile check targets.
Functions like $monitor need to attach callbacks to array words if
those words are to be monitored. Have the array hold all the callbacks
for words in the array, under the assumption that the monitored words
are sparse.
The arguments to $ungetc() were backwards! This patch fixes that
and adds a bit more checking to the compile_tf routine. It still
needs more work, but that can wait for the major system function
clean up I have planned when I can find the time.
This patch adds a new system function $vvp_cpu_wordsize. It returns
the size of the underlying CPU word (long) in bits. This function
can be used to write fully portable tests for the test suite. Other
functions will be added as needed.
Verilog-2005 defines the base-10 log function to be $log10. This makes
sense because in C the log() function is the natural log. So add the
$log10 function.
Since there may be legacy code that uses the $log function, leave it
defined, but we should consider at least printing a warning when the
$log function is used.
The va_math.vpi module implements systen-function versions of the
Verilog-A math functions. This library was contributed by Cary R.
Also add the constants.vams include file. This is pretty much
direct from the Verilog-AMS LRM.
Several places in Icarus Verilog try to get the bits of the integer
part of a double by casting to unsigned or unsigned long. But that
causes some compilers to generate smart code that converts all values
less then 0 to 0, even though we are after the bits, not the math
value. So be careful to do this cast only to non-negative values and
uminus the bits if necessary to get exactly what we want.

When printing the strength information for a multi bit net this patch
adds an underscore between the individual bit strength values. This
makes it easier to see the individual bit values.
Fallout from me trying to understand the origin of pr1780480
and pr1830834. Too bad I don't understand c++ and vvp as
well as I understand English!
(Spelling and grammer fixes in comments. -ed.)
The sys_funcs table should be left to those functions that are handled
internally by the compiler. Really, the internal sys_funcs table is a
legacy from the days before the compiler supported system function
tables in the .sft format.
