This patch ensures that the result of a shift is an undefined value
if the right operand is an undefined value. It also improves the
code generated for right shifts where the right operand is constant
and optimises away shifts where the right operand is a constant 0.
It also fixes a few places where the expression type (signed/unsigned)
was not being set correctly.
This patch adds a check on the expression type before adjusting an
unsized expression width up to integer_width. This adjustment should
only be performed for vectorable expressions.
The patch also fixes a few compiler warnings that only show up on
32-bit builds.
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.
Constant user functions aren't currently supported. A suitable
error message should be output when a user function call is
encountered in a parameter expression. This got lost in the
parameter expression rework.
The compiler currently performs parameter expression elaboration before
performing parameter overrides. This means that the information needed
to correctly determine the expression type and width may not be available
at the time elaboration is performed. This patch reworks the code to
delay elaboration until after all overrides have been performed. It
also provides a new -g option that controls how the width of parameter
expressions is calculated when the parameter itself is unsized.
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.
This patch covers more than it should. It removes many of the -Wextra
warnings in the main ivl directory. It also makes some minor code
improvements, adds support for constant logicals in eval_tree (&&/||),
adds support for correctly sign extending === and !==, it starts to
standardize the eval_tree debug messages and fixes a strength bug
in the target interface (found with -Wextra). The rest of the warnings
and eval_tree() rework will need to come as a second patch.
This patch changes all the iterator code to use a prefix ++ instead
of postfix since it is more efficient (no need for a temporary). It
is likely that the compiler could optimize this away, but lets make
it efficient from the start.
I'm adding more uses of the make_range_from_width function, so
it seems like time to get rid of its use of the svector template.
This thread led to a lot of other uses of svector that had to
also be removed.
An unsized signed constant that is smaller than integer_width needs
to be resized up to either the integer_width or the expression width
whichever is smaller.
This patch mimics what was done for vectors, but is simpler since
arrays don't use the endian information. It also needs to address
the fact that .array/port assumes the expression is unsigned so
any signed expression must be padded to make it larger than the
maximum array word when it is converted to unsigned.
This patch modifies all the variable bit and indexed part selects
to use a common routine. This routine determines the minimum
width needed to calculate the result correctly, pads the expression
if needed and then converts the expression to signed if required to
make the calculation correct.
Added 'expr_wid' parameter to calls to 'eval_expr()' within
PEBinary::elaborate_eval_expr_base_()'. This makes a specific problem
go away and may even be the correct thing to do.
We only need to set the width of a multiple if the width is greater
than zero and if the expression is vectorable. This matches what is
done for addition.
Some new shadow issues have crept in. This patch fixes these new
issues and adds -Wshadow to the normal warning flags to keep any
new occurrences from happening.
Comparison expressions have sorta-self-determined arguments.
Handle the special cause that some of the arguments may be
themselves unsized, and so expecting to be even wider then
otherwise.
Operands to reduction unary operators are self determined, so
evaluate the operands that way. But this means that binary expressions
in this context should take pains to use their test_width tested
expression width.
This exposed a case where the test_width methods were not called
for self-determined expressions. Fix that too.
This patch enhances elaboration to drop/ignore zero replication
count constants. Not doing this was causing problems later in
the compiler. We still pass non-constant expressions since
both user and system functions must be run for their possible
side effects. Constants can never have a side effect so just
dropping them is acceptable.
When handling the $signed/$unsigned system functions, the compiler
was applying the new signed/unsigned property to the NetExpr object
representing the input argument. This caused the input argument to
be evaluated incorrectly. This patch fixes this by applying the new
property to the NetExpr object created to pad the result to the
required size.
In testing this fix, it was also discovered that the width of the
input argument expression was not being calculated correctly. This
patch also fixes this issue.
Creation of implicit nets requires knowledge of whether an identifier
has been declared before it is used. Currently implicit nets are
created during elaboration, but by this stage the order of declaration
and use is not known. This patch moves the creation of implicit nets
into the parser stage.
Under some situation the optimized repeat expression can get out
of sync while it is being processed this causes the code to
reference freed memory. This happens when the repeat expression
is converted to an unsigned integer, but the repeat expression
is used in a different path. It was easier to just remove the
optimization then track down the convoluted call sequence that
was causing this and then figure out what needed to be fixed.
The repeat expression must be constant, so is likely not too
complicated so this optimization is very minor and should not
be missed.
This patch is a major rewrite of the indexed part selects (+: and -:).
It made the following enhancements:
1. Make indexed part selects work correctly with both big and little
endian vectors.
2. Add a warning flag that warns about constant out of bounds/or 'bx
indexed selects.
3. Moved the -: parameter code to its own routine.
4. Added support for straddling before part selects in a CA.
5. Added more assert(! number_is_unknown) statements.
6. Add warning for &PV<> select with a signed index signal that is
less than the width of an int. This will be fixed later.
7. Add support for loading a 'bx/'bz constant into a numeric register.
8. Add a number of signed value fixes to the compiler/code generator.
9. Major fix of draw_select_expr() in the code generator.
In 1364-2005 it is an explicit error to take the select of a scalar
or real value. We added the checks for real a while ago. This patch
adds the functionality for scalar values. In the future we may want
to push the scalar property to the run time.
Only sign extend the operands for division or modulus if
both of them are signed. Previously only the individual
operand signedness was being considered.
