This patch fixes some allocation problems (mostly in the parser
and lexor relating to identifiers). It also fixes a couple places
where uninitialized variables were used. All found with valgrind.
There are still 100 tests that have problems. Many of these appear
to be related.
Macro argument substitution used to just use strstr() to
find an argument that needed to be substituted. This is too
aggressive. It would do argument substitution in the middle
of keywords and other identifiers. A new routine is used
that verifies the character preceding the match is not
a normal identifier character [a-zA-Z0-9_$].
Binary bit based operators were not padding arguments if they had
different widths. The reduction operators and ! were not correctly
evaluating their arguments in a self-determined context.
vvp did not have the ability to handle real parameters.
This patch fixes that omission. Parameters are only used
by vpi calls to get compile time information.
Problems with signed expressions that are set to parameters and
that include multipliciation exposed a few bugs in the calculation
of signed multiply. Fix this and add some improved diagnostics.
It is questionable, but probably legal, for expressions passed as
arguments to input ports of various kinds of gates to implicitly
declare nets. This patch allows the scan through different types
of expressions for implicit nets.
The elaborate_sig handling here does not test for the legality of
having a non-trivial expression as argument to a port. For example,
it is definitely NOT legal to have r-value expressions passed to
output or inout ports. But that will be checked for later when the
instance is elaborated for real.
Threads used to be deleted when they finished processing code.
The problem with this is that some of the code could be
rescheduled to run at rosync ($strobe, etc.). This allowed the
thread data the code depended on to be reaped too soon. This
patch uses a new queue to schedule thread deletion. The queue
is processed after rosync has finished.
This patch makes the muxz and muxr functors schedule events
instead of directly calling vvp_send_*(). This prevents the
code from going into an infinite loop when the output feeds
back to the select.
This patch only applies to the ternary operator when used in a
continuous assignment. It adds short circuiting when the expression
is a constant true or false. It does not optimize the special case of
a constant 'bx expression with constant T/F expressions.
This patch enhances dump() for function definitions, by indicating a
signed result with a prepended "+" and also printing the MSB and LSB.
This matches other dump() routines. It also prints the arguments with
the same information. The arguments also include their type "input",
"output" or "inout".
If implicit nets are declared during elaboration, then the success
of binding during elaboration will depend on the order of the code
in the source file.
The dup_expr() function for NetESignal was not copying the word_
expression. This would cause an individual array access to turn
into an entire array access. The file and line information was
also not being set correctly.
An assert() in tgt-vvp/eval_expr.c was also replaced with an
exit() since the appropriate information was already being
printed.
This patch adds functionality to do a bit or part select release
when a constant value is forced to the net/register. It also adds an
error message when the user tries to force a signal to a bit/part
select. This is not currently handled by the run time, so is now
caught in the compiler (tgt-vvp). Where when this functionality is
needed, it will be easy to know what to do instead of trying to track
down some odd runtime functionality.
What this all means is that you can force a signal to an entire
signal or you can force a constant to any part of a signal (bit,
part or entire) and release any of the above. Technically the
release of a constant value does not have to match the force.
The runtime verifies that if you are releasing a signal driver
it is being done as a full release. I don't see an easy way to
check this in the compiler.
To fix the signal deficiencies we need to rework the force_link
code to allow multiple drivers and partial unlinking. Much of
this is in the runtime, but the %force/link operator may also
need to be changed like I did to the %release opcode.
The IVL_EX_NONE type was not displaying any message and default did not
use the new ivl_expr_{file,lineno} functions to get the source location.
This patch remedies these problems.
vpi_put_value can mimic force and release with vpiForceFlag and
vpiReleaseFlag flags to the vpi_put_value call. With this patch,
the infrastructure is added to allow the flags argument to be passed
to the dispatched put_value function, and for signals handle those
flags as force/release of a net.
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).
When a bit port of a module instance is connected to a vector
argument, the MSB module instance should be connected to the MSB
of the vector argument. This matters only in the rare case that
the %m is used. It also makes wave dumps come out right.
The updates to the do_include code destroyed the
handling of absolute paths; all of the code that
handles buffer-switching was erroneously placed
in just the relative-path branch. Thanks go to
Cary R. for pointing out the problem.
Now the common code has been extracted yet again,
and the notorious goto statement has been used
in favor redundancy.
The test vvp_reg.pl produces the same output as
before, so hopefully nothing new is broken.

Normally processes are found in the lexical scope of a module, but
there are special cases where processes (other then task/function
definitions) are in other lexical scopes. The most likely case is
initilizations that are in the lexical scope where the assigned
variable is declared.
In the process, the behaviors list is kept in the base PScope class
instead of the Module or any other derived lexical scope class.
Case-generate alternatives create sub-scopes that need to be scanned
by the scope scanner in order to get function definitions etc. that
are defined lexically within generated scopes.
This patch converts a constant real index to an integer value when
defining an array. This can happen when using 2**8 which returns a
real value since the operands are signed.
draw_number_bool64() in tgt-vvp/eval_bool.c was using %ix/load to
load immediate values into registers greater than three. The problem
was that of_IX_LOAD() in vvp/vthread.cc was masking off the upper
bits. This was putting the results in the wrong register. This patch
removes the bit masking from of_IX_LOAD() and updates the %ix/load
documentation.
The file lexor.lex was beginning to suffer a catastrophic
increase in entropy due mainly to the mingling of spaces
and tabs--an age-old problem that often finds itself as
the subject of many a religious war.
The key rule: Make it consistent in as many editors as
possible; this was achieved by converting all hard tabs
into soft tabs (composed of spaces) of width 4.
I couldn't help but make modifications to the code as I
tabifified, but most of the changes are strictly style.
While maintainers generally treat large scale whitespace and
formatting changes with much caution, I believe that the code
is now much more maintainable; moreover, the test suite
produces the same results as before.

Macro names cannot be compiler directive names.
Such trespasses are now recognized and reported:
(1) Offending `define lines are skipped.
(2) Offending macros meant to be expanded
are replaced with nothing.
