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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
