We don't support evaluating user-defined system functions at compile
time. If possible, defer evaluation until run time. If used in a
constant expression, output a "sorry" message.
Internally, treat the "$" as a special expression type that takes
as an argument the signal that is being indexed. In the vvp target,
use the $last system function to implement this.
This provides the ivl_target.h interface for class definitions
and expressions, the vvp code generator support for class objects
and properties, and the vvp run time support. Trivial class objects
now seem to work.
Add properties to the classes, and elaborate expressions that
have class properties. Describe class object property references
all the way down to the stub target.
Strings, when put into dynamic arrays, are treated as first class
types much line reals. Add the code generator and vvp support for
this situation. Also fix a bug distinguishing between character
selects from strings and select form arrays of strings.
This involves working out the code to get the base type of a select
expression of a darray. Also added the runtime support for darrays
with real value elements.
This patch modifies the compiler and the ivl interface to pass the
type of indexed part select that is being represented (up/down) in
a procedural L-value or R-value. This is needed by any back end that
wants to correctly denormalize the (zero based) base expression.
This patch fixes a bunch of objects to have the correct file/line
information. It also adds support for getting file/line information
for events (named events have a definition line).
This gets the enumeration type through to the ivl_target API so
that code generators can do something with it. Generate stub
output with tgt-stub, and generate the proper vvp run time to
make simple enumerations work from end to end.
The pform propagates the parsed enum base type information
to the elaborator so that the base type can be fully elaborated.
This is necessary to get the types of the enumeration literals
correct.
When enum names are used as r-values in expressions, use their
values. Treat the enum names similar to (but not exactly as)
localparams so that they fit into the rest of the elaboration
flow naturally.
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.
In some cases, it was possible for the NetEConcat expression to
lose track of the repeat expression, causing the output result to
have a broken concatenation expression.
This also adds some internal checks that the concatenation widths
add up properly.
The natures of disciplines were already available, this just brings
the information forward to the ivl_target.h API and exposes them via
access functions.
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.
When doing lossless addition to an unsized constant, we make the size
be width of an integer, only to be consistent with other tools. In fact,
don't go overboard if we don't have to.
The arguments to bitwise operators are padded if *either* of the operands
is unsigned. This is according to the sign/unsigned expression rules
of Verilog, and also matches the behavior of the "Big-3."
When a multiply expression is IVL_VT_REAL, then the default width is
the width of the operands, and not the sum of the operands. In fact, it
should turn out to be 1.
Also, the width of the multiply expression when we get to the ivl_target
API, need not be the sum of the widths of its arguments. In fact, if the
arguments are signed, that would be completely wrong. So adjust the
stub target to properly test this constraint.
The NetBranch object is connected, but not like an object, so the
NetPins object base class is factored out from NetObj to handle the
connectivity, and the NetBranch class uses the NetPins to connect a
branch.
Also, account for the fact that nets with a discipline are by default
real-valued.
Detect function call expressions that turn out to be calls to the
access function of a nature. Elaborate the access function and stub
the emit code. This gets the access function just short of the code
generator.
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.
