Create stub class objects at the vvp level and generate the code
to invoke that stub. Implement the routines needed to implement
a test for null object references.
This will hopefully improve performance slightly, but also this
intended as a model for what to do when I get around to doing the
same thing to other data types.
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.
Clean up the vector4_to_value to use templates and explicit
instantiations. This makes the interface much cleaner for a
wider variety of integral types.
This patch updates the vvp code so it will compile with the valgrind hooks
again. There are still new constructs that need to be cleaned up correctly
and some old constructs were changed enough that the old code no longer
works, but the rest of this can be done as an incremental improvement.
Windows and hence mingw does not follow the standard regarding the return
value of vsnprintf(). The mingw code needs to iteratively search for a
buffer large enough to print the output.
The second call to vsnprintf() needs to have a copy of the argument list
so it can run correctly. On some system vsnprintf() destorys the original
argument list.
When sending a string to a system task/function allocate the space needed
to avoid truncating the string vs using a large fixed buffer.
In vvp allocate and use an exactly sized buffer for the MCD print routine if
the fixed buffer is not large enough. Using a fixed buffer keeps normal
printing fast.
This patch implements the $countdrivers system function. It does not
yet support wires connected to islands (and outputs a suitable "sorry"
message when this is detected).
To implement the $countdrivers system function, we need to be able to
find all the driver values for a given wire. Currently, if a wire has
has more than four drivers, the compiler builds a resolver tree out
of 4-input nodes to resolve the driven values, and there is no way at
run time to work back from the output node to the original driver
values. This patch moves the implementation of the resolver tree into
a single vvp functor (using a mechanism similar to wide functors to
support more than 4 inputs), thus gathering all the driver values into
a single place.
Implement through the ivl core to the ivl_target.h API.
Also draft implementation of creating and storing arrays
in the vvp runtime and code generator.
When string[x] is an l-value, generate code to implement something
like the string.putc(x, ...) method.
Also handle when string[x] is the argument of a system task. In that
case resort to treating it as a calculated 8-bit vector, because that
is what it is.
This also advances support for string expressions in general.
Handle assignments to string variables in the code generator by
trying to calculate a string expression. This involves the new
string object thread details.
In vvp, create the .var/str variable for representing strings, and
handle strings in the $display system task.
Add to vvp threads the concept of a stack of strings. This is going to
be how complex objects are to me handled in the future: forth-like
operation stacks. Also add the first two instructions to minimally get
strings to work.
In the parser, handle the variable declaration and make it available
to the ivl_target.h code generator. The vvp code generator can use this
information to generate the code for new vvp support.
Added: basic vpiPort VPI Objects for vpiModulkes
vpiDirection, vpiPortIndex, vpiName, vpiSize attributes
Since ports do not exist as net-like entities (nets either side
module instance boundaries are in effect connect directly in
the language front-ends internal representation) the port information
is effectively just meta-data passed through t-dll interface and
output as a additional annotation of module scopes in vvp.
Added: vpiLocalParam attribute for vpiParameter VPI objects
Added: support build for 32-bit target on 64-bit host (--with-m32
option to configure.in and minor tweaks to Makefiles and systemc-vpi).
The fork/join list did not adequately support the tree of processes
that can happen in Verilog, so this patch reworks that support to
make it all more natural.
The IEEE standard does not specify the behaviour of a tranif primitive
when its control input is an 'x' or 'z'. vvp currently treats these as
if the tran was turned off, but it would be better to propagate the
uncertainty to the tran bi-directional ports. For compatibility with
other simulators, we adopt the behaviour specified for MOS primitives.
The standard specifies that the size of a vecval should be calculated as
(size - 1)/32 + 1. When size is a PLI_INT32 this is needed to prevent an
overflow, but when the size is unsigned this can be simplified to
(size + 31)/32 since the size must fit into an integer, but we have an
extra significant bit in an unsigned so no overflow can happen.
This patch changes the code to use the correct version of the equation
depending on the context.
The previous patch does this in vvp/vpi_priv.cc
When vpi_put_value() is asked to delay the assignment any pointer data
needs to be duplicated so that the caller can clean up the locally
allocated memory without causing memory access problems.
Also update word calculation to match the next patch.
If a tranif gate has a delay, the vvp code generator needs to generate
a unique label for the island port used for the tranif enable, to
prevent a name collision if the undelayed signal is also connected
to the island.
Also add an assertion in vvp to catch bugs like this.
The clang compiler does not like using struct to reference a class object.
This patch removes all the struct keywords for __vpiNamedEvent objects
since they are now a class and can be called without a struct/class
qualifier.
This patch also removes all the extra class qualifiers from the rest of
the source code.
When looking for a value change on a part select of an array word,
the callback handle has to save the current value and test it with
the new value to see if there is an actual change. If not, then
suppress the callback.
The clang compiler does not like mixing class and struct references. This
patch updates all the struct __vpiHandle, etc. to use class since that is
how they are now defined.
All the methods that this structure supported are now pulled
into the __vpiHandle class as virtual methods. This includes
the vpi_free_object_ method, which required some extra trickery.
Instead of C-like data structures where the __vpiHandle base is a
leading member, make the __vpiHandle a derived class. Give the base
class a virtual destructor so that dynamic_cast works reliably, and
now pretty much all of the junk for testing if an object really is
of the derived class goes away. Also, problems with casting up to
a vpiHandle become trivial non-issues.
Full vector assigns are able to short circuit the propagation of
the value if it finds that there are no value changes. This patch
supports that behavior in writes to parts as well. Put this change
to use in logic devices as well.
Not all the lex/yacc (flex/bison) targets were using a consistent syntax.
This patch fixes that and explicitly serializes the *.c/*.cc and *.h build.
Not doing this was causing problem when using make -j. The issue appears to
be that if two targets are specified for a rule (e.g. file.cc file.h: file.y)
make does not realize they are both built by the same call so the rule is
executed twice. Once for the .cc target and once for the .h target. This is
not a problem for a serial build. To work around this only use the .c/.cc
file in the main target and then make the .h file depend on the .c/.cc file
as a sub-target.
Now we have a code generator that can handle compressed assignments
as they have been re-imagined in elaboration. There are some cases
that are not yet supported, we'll patch them up in due course.
Both UDPs and system functions use the wide input functor. This patch
modified the code generator to create a local net declaration for the
output net if we have either a delay or modpath connecting the output
to the true output. This is needed so that the wide input can be
cleaned up correctly.
Local real nets were also added to the local net pool when testing with
valgrind. This allows them to be cleaned up at the end.
For a delay we do not know exactly what type we will be propagating
until the initialization event has happened. Because of this we
allocate both a vec4 and a vec8 value. Once the initialization event
has happened we can free the unneeded element(s).
When scaling a time value we would often use the power operator to
create constants 10**-N that were then multiplied with the original
value. The problem with this is that there is some errors in the
representation of the fractional number. It is better to create a
integer value 10**N and then divide the original value by this
exact constant. You still have the calculation error, but the scale
value is now an exactly real value.
The name is not currently used, but when it is it makes sense for it to
be in the base class. Also the name cannot be deleted after compiling
since it may be used later.
The VPI object data model diagrams show a one to many relationship
between the "mod path" and "path term" objects. This means that the
correct way to obtain handles to "path term" objects is to use the
vpi_iterate and vpi_scan functions.
Support for the old method of obtaining handles to "path term" objects
using the vpi_handle function is retained for backwards compatibility.
The standard defines how to calculate the name for an access function
or iterator if one is not given. It is supposed to be vpi followed by
the words in the name with each word capitalized. For the one to many
(iterator) interface from the enumeration typespec to the individual
constants this is vpiEnumConst not vpiMember.
We don't currently have the information needed to correctly provide the
base typespec, but in the next() and prev() methods I need to know if
the enumeration is two or four state. This patch sets the base typespec
for four state enumerations to vpiReg and to vpiBitVar for two state
enumerations. This provide enough information to get next() and prev()
working correctly.
This patch adds vpiEnumTypespec to the list so that vpi_get_str(vpiType, ...)
returns an appropriate string when an enum type is passed.
It also adds the initial hook to allow iteration (global) over the UDP
definitions. This along with table traversal will be needed to free the
memory allocated when the UDP definition is created. Ultimately this
will all the UDP test to be valgrind clean.
Update the line number for a couple cppcheck suppressions and add one for
the pool variable in the vvp directory.
Also move a check for null to the correct place.
This patch makes the code consistently use struct/class in the C++ files,
it removes a couple shadow warnings and where a class pointer is passed to
the C routines, it defines the pointer as a class for C++ and as struct for
C and it removes a namespace std duplication.
Add a new IVL_PR_FINAL process type.
Add a flag to NetScope in_final_ which is set when elaborating the
statement of a final procedure.
Add checks during statement elaboration for invalid statements in a
final procedure, similar to checks for statements in functions.
Do a final check to make sure no final blocks have delays.
In the vvp runtime, use "$final" as the flag for the thread created by
the final procedure. During compilation, instead of adding such a
thread to the sched_list, add it to a new schedule_final_list that
mirrors the schedule_init_list, but is run at the end of simulation.
Verilog allows user to define variables of primitive types. The patch
adds support for defining variables of type 'logic'. The data type
'logic' is the only primitive data type which supports defining ranges.

If a relative path name is passed to the Windows LoadModule function,
it is applied in turn to each path in the DLL search path. For the
ivl_dlopen function, we actually want to mimic the Unix behaviour,
where a relative path is relative to the current working directory.
On systems where the KB2264107 security fix has been applied, the
CWD is excluded from the DLL search path, so we no longer get the
required behaviour. This patch reworks the ivl_dlopen function to
give the correct behaviour under Windows.
This patch also adds a flush of the stderr stream after reporting
VPI call errors. This fixes a race between the stdout and stderr
streams when running the regression tests in a MinGW shell.
Added an explicit option prefix="yy" to files that were generated
without an explicit -P.
This makes the lex-generated symbol names self contained without any
help from from build system.
The power operator defines 2**-1 and -2**-1 to be zero. This patch fixes
both the procedural and continuous assignments to work correctly. It also
fixes a problem in the compiler power code so that the one constant value
always has at least two bits.
This patch adds some preliminary module port information to the ivl
interface. This may change as I investigate exactly what is needed.
It also fixes a few minor bugs (a missed local variable and spacing)
This patch adds a trace command to the interactive prompt that can be
used to control statement tracing when the code is instrumented (has
%file_line opcodes).
This patch adds support for tracing procedural statement execution in vvp.
This is accomplished by adding a new opcode that is inserted before the
code that represents a procedural statement. These opcodes also trigger
a message whenever time advances. By default these opcodes are not added.
To add them, pass the -pfileline=1 flag to the compiler. In the future we
may add support for turning the debug output on and off once the opcodes
have been added with a system task or from the interactive prompt.
Currently the vvp target emits multiple single bit %mov instructions
to perform sign extension. This patch adds a new %pad instruction
that allows sign extension to be performed with just one instruction.
This patch fixes a few compilation warnings introduced by the
enumeration code. It also updates the ivl.def file so that the
proper routines get exported under windows.
Create the v2009.vpi module to include SystemVerilog core
functions, and start out with some of the enum methods.
Add to vvp support for creating enum types, including some
vpi access methods.
In ivl_alloc.h we redefine malloc(), realloc() and calloc() to have
standard error checking. We don't want to do this for anything that
comes from the standard headers. This specifically doesn't work if
a C++ header files does std::malloc, etc.
Also change to -W instead of -Wextra since that is more portable. I
plan to add a check from -Wextra and use it when available since it
is more descriptive.
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.
BOOL values have a specific cast from LOGIC, this node takes care
of it. Also arrange for the elaboration to insert them in the right
planes and for the code generator to generate them.
This patch adds -Wextra to the compilation flags for C++ files in
the vvp and vpi subdirectories. It also fixes all the problems
found while adding -Wextra. This mostly entailed removing some of
the unused arguments, removing the name for others and using the
correct number of initializers.
This patch adds support for running cppcheck from the Makefile. It also
standardizes the order of some of the targets. It renames vpip_format.c
to vpip_format.cc and fixes the size of the array tables to make room
for the trailing NULL. Found when using a C++ compiler.
This patch adds a few missing initializations to various constructors
in the vvp directory. It also enhances the array alias code to copy
more values from the aliased array.
Create the .var/2u and .var/2s variable records and give them
basic implementations. Make available to VPI the proper types
for the SystemVerilog types that these variables represent.
This patch adds support for a UDP with variable delays. In the process the
intrinsic support for delays was removed from the UDP functor and replaced
with a call to the .delay functor. Both a normal gate and a UDP now use the
same code to generate the delay.
This patch adds checks that the delay count is correct for the
various gates and adds support for a missing variable decay
time. For this case the decay time is the minimum of the rise
and fall times. This is denoted by setting the decay variable
to 0 in the vvp file. vvp notes this and sets an ignore decay
time property in the base delay. This turns off the ability
to set the decay time and the minimum delay calculation will
also update the decay time.
Elaborate conditional assignments with BUFZ devices that do *NOT*
preserve strengths. Add a BUFT (transparent) device that can be
used in those cases where I really need a transparent buffer.
A real delay must be scaled and rounded using the local precision
before it is finally scaled to the simulation time units. This
patch fixes the compiler to do this correctly or generate the
correct code for run time calculated delays. Delays in a CA
already worked correctly. The run time was also fixed to scale
modpath (SDF back annotation) delays correctly.
This patch modifies the vvp main code to cleanup if there was an
error compiling the input file. There are still a few issues, but
this takes care of most of them.
This patch adds two new opcodes and the infrastructure needed to call
system functions as tasks. The normal %vpi_call will generate an error
if a system function is called as a task. %vpi_call/w will generate a
warning and will ignore any value returned by the function. %vpi_call/i
will ignore the system function return value and will not print a
message. Adding this is a feature request and is supported in
SystemVerilog. Next I need to add flags to control this depending on
the compiler generation and possibly other flags.
I may leave the cast to void (%vpi_call/i) functionality unimplemented
for now.
This patch caches the vpi_call error messages (task/function does
not exist, task being called as a function and function being
called as a task). This allows us to display the file name and line
number information for the invalid usage.
The functions (malloc, free, etc.) that used to be provided in
malloc.h are now provided in cstdlib for C++ files and stdlib.h for
C files. Since we require a C99 compliant compiler it makes sense
that malloc.h is no longer needed.
This patch also modifies all the C++ files to use the <c...>
version of the standard C header files (e.g. <cstdlib> vs
<stdlib.h>). Some of the files used the C++ version and others did
not. There are still a few other header changes that could be done,
but this takes care of much of it.
This patch documents that the lxt2/lx2 dumper supports -speed and
-space options. It adds -speed, -space, -space-speed and
-speed-space options for the fst dumper. Here are results for a
gate level back annotated design using the fst dumper.
<none> 12.88 seconds 3.5 Meg dump file.
-space 12.89 seconds 2.9 Meg dump file.
-speed 12.36 seconds 4.6 Meg dump file.
-<both> 12.84 seconds 3.2 Meg dump file.
This patch is a slight modification to files Tony Bybell (the author of
GTKWave) send to me. We still have a few more changes we plan to make,
but this should be functional enough for initial testing. Multi-treading
and speed/size flags will be added shortly.
The SunPro compiler does not support struct definitions inside an
anonymous union. This patch moves the struct definition so that both
gcc and SunPro 12.1 compile this without issue.
gcc supports creating an array with a run time defined size. The
SunPro compiler for OpenSolaris does not. This patch converts the
array creation to use conventional (malloc based) array creation.
This patch is similar to the previous patches and cleans up a single
place in the vvp directory where an enum had a trailing ',' and a
place where a C++ routine needed extern "C".
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.
This patch updates all the Makefile.in files and configure.in
as follows:
Do not use the -Wall warning flag when using the SunPro compiler.
The SunPro compiler uses -xMD instead of -MD.
There are still more fixes needed before Icarus will compile
on OpenSolaris.
Tran islands must do their calculations using the forced values,
if any. But the output from a port must also be subject to force
filtering. It's a little ugly, but hopefully won't hurt the more
normal case.
It is acceptable to call delete on a NULL object. It's also acceptable
to assign the value to zero if it is already zero. Removing the
superfluous if should produce slightly better code since there is no
conditional to deal with except for what is likely in the delete
implementation, but that should be highly optimized.
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.
This patch changes system tasks and functions to use the vpiUserSystf
property and returns this information when vpi_register_systf() is
called. It also adds the vpiUserDefn property for system tasks and
functions which for now always returns 1 (true). System task and
functions can now get a handle to this information using the
vpiUserSystf property. vpi_systf_info() returns pointers to the
real data so the user will need to be careful when using the pointer
fields (e.g. tfname, user_data, etc.). This is a shallow copy. A deep
copy would require the user to free the various fields and I'm not
certain it is even possible or desirable to copy the user_data for
all cases.
A stub for vpi_compare_objects() was also added since I will need
that when testing the second half of the patch (add iteration over
all the vpiUserSystf objects and add a method to control vpiUserDefn).
To ensure the initial propagation of 'x' values at time-0 does not
trigger any events, the propagation of these values needs to be
completed before any statements that wait on events are executed.
vvp has a pre-simulation event queue to handle this, but some
functors defeat this by postponing their output propagation using
the stratified event queue. This patch fixes this by using the
pre-simulation event queue to schedule functor output propagation
until initial value propagation is complete.
To match the behaviour of other simulators, delayed bit-based signals
should have the value 'x' and delayed real valued signals should have
the value 0.0 until the true initial value has propagated. This patch
provides this behaviour.
Under certain circumnstances, the vvp code generator can generate
a .part/pv that directly feeds an input port of a .concat. This
patch adds a recv_vec4_pv method to the vvp_fun_concat class to
handle this case. It also changes the initial value of the stored
vector from X to Z to correctly handle bits which are not driven.
If a net is driven by a simple variable, an initial 'x' value is
propagated to the net at time-0. The same thing should happen if
a net is driven by a variable array word. This patch makes this
happen by scheduling an initial event for each array port attached
to a variable array.
The vpi_get_value() function should not crash when called during
the compiletf phase. This patch fixes this by returning 'bx for
any vectors in thread space. It also fixes some other minor things
that my test code uncovered. Most of the other objects work as
expected.
This patch adds support for passing the delay selection to the
VPI interface. It adds a new property to both the vpi_get and
vpi_get_str calls to return the current delay selection. It also
defines three constants for minimum, typical and maximum
delay selections.
This patch adds support for passing the delay selection to vvp.
It adds a new header :ivl_delay_selection "<value>"; that has
the values TYPICAL, MINIMUM or MAXIMUM depending on the -T
flag to iverilog. This information is needed by $sdf_annotate
to select that appropriate value for a triplet when
"TOOL_CONTROL" is specified (default).
When using MinGW, routines registered via atexit() inside a
DLL are only called when the DLL is detached. If not detached
manually, DLLs are automatically detached *after* all remaining
open files are closed. This meant that by the time the LXT or
LXT2 close_dumpfile routine was called, the dump file handle
was no longer valid, so any remaining output was lost. This
patch fixes the problem by manually detaching the VPI modules.
After changing an array word, vvp propagates the change to every port
attached to the array. The code did not properly handle the case of
an array port declared in an automatic scope with an associated array
declared in a static scope.
The process of inverting and copying can be collapsed into a single
operation that should run a little faster. Also, inverting readily
vectorizes itself. I've also possibly reduced useless vvp_not_fun
iterations.
Also, include some minor tweaks to the vvp_vector8_t handling of
vector copies. This is more to clean up code, although it should
slightly improve performance as well.
The scope thread rework broek --with-valgrind builds due to the
different handling of the list of threads. Rework valgrind enabled
handling of the thread set within a scope.
The scope contains the threads running within. The rework of this
patch allows all threads to know their scope, and cleans up the
handling of threads listed in the scope.
dlltool which is used by both MinGW and Cygwin to create dynamic
libraries must have the name of the executable it creates the
library/information from exactly match the installed executable
name. If we have a suffix then it must be used. This patch adds
that to the build process for vvp since it can be installed with
a suffix. It also modifies the check routines since you must run
vvp with a suffix if the library it links to was built for a
suffixed executable.
In combination with the patch to make all operations on thread words
operate on 64-bit values, this patch ensures casts between real values
and large vector values work correctly.
The vvp thread word storage had previously been changed to always store
64-bit values, but some instructions still only operate on native long
values. This patch ensures all instructions that modify thread words
support 64-bit values.
We do have one C program in the vvp directory so add CFLAGS to
the Makefile. This patch also modifies the two local programs
tables and version to use -Wall.
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 this directory we
may as well squash as many warings as we can. 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.
The fix for pr1830834 causes vvp to only delete a completed thread
when the simulation time next advances. If a procedural model is
being simulated which makes many task or function calls within a
single time step, this can lead to excessive memory use. This patch
modifies the behaviour so that thread deletion is only delayed if
that thread has caused a sync event to be placed in the event queue.
This should catch all cases where the thread private data can be
accessed after a thread has terminated.
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)
During startup it is possible for input port to not yet be
initialized even after some other input ports trigger the
function to be evaluated. Handle this case by substituting
a vector of 'bx for the uninitialized inputs. This will shake
out when the simulation gets going, and only matters for user
defined functions in continuous assignments.
While we're at it, have vec4_unfiltered_value return a reference
to reduce copying of vectors.
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.
If the source and destination of a subvector to be moved in the
vvp_vector4_t::mov method is nicely word aligned, and the transfer
size is a full word, then we ar much better off handling that as
a special case. This makes the move faster, and also avoids some
shift overflow errors.
If the delay has an event pending for the current time, then use
that as a reference for calculating the next delay. If that is not
done, then the delay calculated against the wrong reference might
result in zero, and bad results.
For the %mov instruction, implement a vvp_vector4_t::mov method to
manipulate the thread vector directly.
For the %load/v instruction, rework the vec4_value() methods to
avoid creating vvp_vector4_t temporaries, and therefore reduce the
copy overhead.
Apparently, the vpi_user.h definitions for vpiStop et al were added
before they were standardized by 1364-2000, and never corrected.
Change the values to be standard. (Submitted by Matt Trostel.)
I also added some binary compatibility for existing .vpi modules
that were compiled with the older constant values.
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.
The local "memory.h" file is no longer used in V0.9 or development,
so it does not need to be included in vvp/codes.h. The VHDL target
does not use the system <memory.h> header file so there is no need
to have a define for it in the vhld_config.h.in file.
- 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'
This patch adds code to cleanup system functions driving a
continuous assignment. It also modifies the user function
cleanup to not interfere with this. It also adds a count
of the nets and signals that were not cleaned up that is
pnly printed when running valgrind. They are not flagged
y valgrind since they are pool managed objects. There are
a few signals that need to be cleaned up and local nets
are missed so there are a lot of nets.
Even open nets have a driver for HiZ. The BUFZ is needed as something
to hang .net objects. This is another step closer to not needing the
"create_constant_node" hack in vvp/words.cc.
In the olden days, the .alias was necessary to create a net name
that is an alias to an existing net in the netlist. But now that
the .net no longer creates a node in the netlist, ALL .net objects
are aliases of a sort, so this (mis)feature gets in the way.
This patch adds cleanup code that cleans up the memory that is
allocated by the of_EXEC_UFUNC command. This knocks a few more
files off the valgrind list.
The tranif input pins are normally nothing special, but sometimes
they are fed back from the switch body. In this case, the control
needs to see the current *output* from the fed back port, in order
to get the results that people expect.
Control inputs (i.e. the control input to tranif switches)
are not driven in any way by the island, so use .import records
instead of .port records to bring them into the island. Properly
handle the now potentially different bindings within the island
and outside the island. This means the draw_net_input_x function
is a little more sophisticated, and the node data more complex.
This is needed to get vvp to compile under MacOS 10.6 and possibly other
64 bit systems that define uint64_t as unsigned long long vs unsigned
long (both are 64 bits).
Add a configuration check that says we would like to use C99 if the
compiler supports it. Also change the lround(), nan(), fmin() and
fmax() checks to look in the default libraries as well as the math
library.
Update the iverilog-vpi sh script to correctly quote CC since it
may now have two words (gcc -std=gnu99).
Add a missing int for main in draw_tt.c.
Nets that are created after being put off for later processing to
allow the vvp_net to be created, need to be more carefully placed
in the correct scope.
When releasing a net, the release method must force that the
filter propagate the released value to the output. Use the
needs_init_ flag to do that force.
The vpi_callback base class is parent of the filter object of nets,
and not the functor. The good news is the clear_all_callbacks method
can now be got at without casts.
When reading from thread space only read the first 32 bits
(sizeof int) for the part select base. This matches the other
parts of the PV_get_base() code.
This patch fixes a problem in the .part/v select when the index is
undefined. The default value needs to be INT_MIN, so when the long
is cast to an int the value is in range.
To get better functionality in V0.9 and development until we
add a select that is sign aware to .part/v this patch uses
a 32 bit integer (int) for the select value. This allows a
normal Verilog integer to produce the correct results. A
warning for smaller signed index vectors is planned, but it
needs more input.
The first input through a net needs to be propagated, since this
is used as an initialization for the net. This patch also cleans
up wires to not need the width_ member, instead inferring the
width from the saved bit value.
Whether and what to propagate after a release of a part needs to
match the behavior of the full-vector release. Nets need to restore
their driver, and regs need to hold their forced value.
filters need to be able to cope with parts of vectors moving through
the net. It makes the most sense to handle every filter as a part-
selected filter.
&PV<> was just using vpi_get_value() when a signal was driving
the select. This incorrectly returned 0 for 'bx or 'bz. This
patch adds a check for an undefined value and returns INT_MIN
for this case.
Now that .net nodes are references to filters into vvp_net_t objects
and are no longer functors on their own, the .alias node becomes
exactly the same as a .net itself.
When releasing a net, the release needs to propagate the driven
value. When releasing a variable, the driven value must be set
to the previously forced value.
These opcodes need to return 'bx or 0.0 for the real opcode when
the array index is undefined.
The patch also documents the auto incrementing of the bit
index register done by the %load/avx.p opcode.
When a part select is driving another part select any bits outside the
original select must be 'bz instead of 'bx. If we initialize the temporary
buffer to 'bz this should work as required. It there are multiple drivers
then a resolver comes into play and this should not matter.
The %shiftr/i0 and %shiftl/i0 opcodes are used for some part
selects and if we have a negative shift we want the value to be
padded with 'bx. This patch enhances the two %shift/i0 opcodes
to work with negative shifts and for negative shifts pad with
'bx instead of 'b0.
It also fixes %ix/get/s to use a uint64_t instead of a unsigned
long to avoid problems with sign extension on 32 bit machines.
Handle the case where the input to a net is a constant. Since nets
do not exist anymore as nodes in their own right, we need to create
a driver to drive a net from a constant.
Handle forward references of net inputs.
pr2827132 changed the val_ field in vvp_fun_part_sa to only store
the bit values for the selected part, not the entire source vector,
but omitted to modify the recv_vec4_pv method to handle this change.
This patch rectifies that omission.
Two small fixes: Threads should load signal values from signal_value
objects, not signal functors, and the force method should not run
its value through the filter.
It's not too likely we will ever reach this, but we should be nice
and print a message instead of just failing. We could set errno,
but for now the warning will have to be enough.
Currently, edge event functors declared in automatically allocated
scopes that are used to detect edges on signals declared in static
scopes are unable to correctly determine edge information for the
first signal delta they receive because they do not know the old
state of the signal. This patch causes the state of static signals
received by these event functors to be recorded as static state in
the functors, so the old state of the signals can be initialised
to the correct value when a new automatic context is created.
Currently a part select functor will send updates to nodes connected
to its output whenever any part of its input vector changes. This
patch ensures updates are only sent when the selected part of the
input vector changes.
Take wires out of the signals/variables and move them into a filter
instead. This is a big shift, and finally starts us on the path to
divide wires out of signals.
We want the entire force/release subsystem to only reference the
vvp_net_t or vvp_net_fil_t objects in a net. This gives us the
latitude to take wire implementations out of the vvp_net_fun classes.
These methods are type specific, but the code that invokes them
get at them from pointers to filter objects, so it makes sense to
make them abstract methods of the vvp_net_fil_t class.
This patch fixes a number of bugs related to real variable and net
arrays. Specifically the following:
1. When iterating over (scanning) a net array start at base index 0
not index 1.
2. Don't fail when iterating over (scanning) a real variable array.
3. Run the array_word_change() routine when a real variable array
word is changed. This allows array ports and value change
callbacks to work correctly.
4. Update the array_word_change() routine to work with real variable
arrays.
5. Update the array port code to support real variable arrays.
6. find_name() needs to also iterate over net array words just like
memory array words.
7. Initialize all real array words to 0.0 when the array is created.
Added support for the -N option, which causes $stop and ^C to behave
like $finish with an exit code of 1.
While I was at it, I noticed that the summary line in the man page for
vvp was missing a couple of options, so I fixed that.
The fd table used to be statically allocated with only 32 entries.
Three of these were preallocated for stdin, stdout and stderr
leaving only 29 for the user. This patch makes the allocation of
this table dynamic with a hard limit at 1024 total fds. The table
is increased in 32 bit chunks.
Someone got a bit too creative in reducing the original equations
I wrote to handle this. This patch reverts the previous code and
uses my original equations. This passes for both wide and narrow
vectors. The equations are slightly more complicated, but the old
z2x conversion had some overhead. I would expect the time to be
about the same, but you now get the correct results.
The vvp_fun_force node converts its input to a call to the
force method of the target node. This eliminates the need for
linking a net to a force input of a signal.
The vvp_net_t port 2 was used to implement force behavior, but that
is no longer how we plan to implement force, so remove it from the
implementation of signal nodes. This currently breaks much of the
force/release functionality, but we'll get it back by other means.
This patch adds real functionality for `celldefine and pushes this
property to the run time which can access this with vpiCellInstance.
This is technically only available for a module, but all scopes
have the property and only modules should return true when the
'endmodule' is between a `celldefine and `endcelldefine directive.
It looks pretty stupid and non-c++-y, but it does remove two compiler warnings
vvp/stop.cc: In function 'void stop_handler(int)':
vvp/stop.cc:492: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
vvp/stop.cc:493: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
The wire base class cannot carry all the overhead for handling all
the different net types, so split it out into derived classes. This
will also move me closer to splitting wires away from variables.
This patch modifies the real parameter get_value routine to use
the standard vpip_real_get_value() routine. This routine has
support for an integer and a decimal string value.
This patch fixes the three %assign/v0/x1 operators to correctly
notice that the select has fallen off the start of the vector
for the case that the negative offset equaled the width.
There is no use implementing the release and deassign methods as
port commands. It's confusing and a waste of vvp_net_t functionality.
It also obscures what needs to be done to more force/release into
the filter object.
This is moving towards moving force/release out of the signal
class. The end-game is to remove all of the wire implementation
out of the functor and into the filter. Variables will remain in
the functor.
Move the vvp_vpi_callback to the vvp_net_sig.h header file, and
collapse some useless hierarchy. (Specifically, all callbackable
items are also wordable.)
Move the run_vpi_callback invocation for wires/variables from the
output generator to the newly implemented filter object. This is
starting to get the filter class working.
This patch adds code to automatically dump the output stream
including any dump file when entering interactive mode. When
the user typed ^C or $stop was executed.
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 interactive support for $stop and $finish.
$stop displays a message that the simulator is already stopped.
$finish acts exactly like (calls) the interactive "finish"
command. Having $stop do nothing and $finish not finish until
you exit interactive mode is not very intuitive.
the vvp_net.h header file is getting pretty huge. This divides
the obviously separable signal functor code out into its own
header and source files.
Also, fill out the use of the filter member of the vvp_net_t
object. Test the output of the vvp_net_t against the filter.
When adding history (add_history) use both the existence of the
library and the header file to determine if history can be
supported. Add a new USE_HISTORY that is the and of these two.
The out pointer of a vvp_net_t object is going to be a bit more
sophisticated when we redo the handling of net signals. Take a step
towards this rework by making the pointer private and implementing
methods needed to access it.
To get the correct print format for a 64 bit value it is much
better to use <inttypes.h> (when available) than building our
own value. This allows MinGW to use the non-standard I64.
(cherry picked from commit d237e35076)
The Multiword division was not handling some degenerate high
guesses for the intermediate division result guess. The end result
was an assertion. Recover from this case.
(Does the addinb back of bp need to be optimized better?)
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 is mostly a minor definition change in the parsing of literal
numbers by the vvp lexor. Allow for 64bit numbers in the .delay
records, and have the code generator also able to cope with the
situation.
Previously Icarus normalized the results so array [7:0] would
be the same as array [0:7]. This works just fine for
simulation, but the VPI calls can select the left or right
value and this was incorrect for the [7:0] case since it was
being normalized to [0:7]. This patch swaps the two values in
the a.out file and from this creates the previous first/last
values and a new flag that can be used to get the correct
left and right values for the VPI interface.
This patch adds support for 64 bit non-blocking delays in procedural
code. We fixed the procedural delay operator (blocking delays) earlier.
This patch mostly mimics what was done there. The continuous assignment
delay operator still needs to be fixed.
Two bugs:
(1) propagating values through the branch accidentally also
did a part select.
(2) Not all nodes of the branch nexus didn't receive a calculated
values, even though they were all marked as done.
In the process, I cleaned up the code a bit, and documented it for
better understanding.
The code was using vpi_free_object() to free a vpiCallback
object and that was creating a memory leak since this is a
do nothing routine. You need to explicitly use delete.
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.
This patch adds code to free most of the memory when vvp
finishes. It also adds valgrind hooks to manage the various
memory pools. The functionality is enabled by passing
--with-valgrind to configure. It requires that the
valgrind/memcheck.h header from a recent version of
valgrind be available. It check for the existence of this
file, but not that it is new enough (version 3.1.3 is known
to not work and version 3.4.0 is known to work).
You can still use valgrind when this option is not given,
but you will have memory that is not released and the
memory pools show as a single block.
With this vvp is 100% clean for many of the tests in the
test suite. There are still a few things that need to be
cleaned up, but it should be much easier to find any real
leaks now.
Enabling this causes a negligible increase in run time and
memory. The memory could be a problem for very large
simulations. The increase in run time is only noticeable on
very short simulations where it should not matter.
If an &A() operator contains a label for an array that has not
yet been declared, vvp fails with an assertion error. This
patch delays the calls to array_find() in the functions that
compile &A() operators, using the usual resolve list mechanism.
Most named objects should have a vpiModule handle to get a handle
to the enclosing module. This patch adds code to get this for all
the elements that I could find that needed it.
It also adds a three more names to vpi_get_str(vpiType, ...) and
fixes a problem in the vpiLeftRange for PV signals.
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).
Certain paths through vpi_put_value cause a vpip_put_value_event to
be created with no path for deleting in. Add the capability in the
schedule_generic method, so that it can be delete as soon as it is
executed.
This patch fixes vvp to use the standard static result buffer
when returning the vector value of a constant string. The
previous calloc method was creating a memory leak.
This patch fixes some more memory leaks in vvp. Mostly related
to UDP compilation and one in find_scope() that was found when
testing the VPI code. The leak in ivlpp was that the define
temporary buffer not being freed when the lexor was finished.
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.
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.
Functions that appear in continuous assignment expressions and that
have hidden dependencies or side effects need to be re-evaluated
whenever any input to the expression changes. This patch adds support
in the compiler and vvp runtime to enable this. This is currently
activated for any system function call that has no arguments. The
user may also force it to be used for any user function by passing
the option -gstrict-ca-eval to the compiler driver.
This patch also removes the -dautomatic option which was used for
gaining confidence in the code that supports automatic tasks and
functions. It is believed that the testsuite provides reasonable
fault coverage, and further tests can be added if bugs are found.
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
Finish 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 the test suite.
This is the end of the simple, coordination-free patches.
The remaining shadows are special cases that will need extra attention.
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.
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.
Tran islands are a kinds of island, so seperate the tran handling
from the core island concept. This will allow for creating new
kinds of islands. (Think analog.)
This patch adds the procedural power function %pow/s for signed
values. This has bit based inputs and outputs, but uses the double
pow() function to calculate the value.
This patch removes the CVS ident information from the Makefile.in
files it also puts in the current version 0.9.devel for the default
VERSION definition. This is normally passed down, but a local make
will use the value from the local Makefile. This will eventually be
replaced with a file based version to give us just one place to
reliably modify the version.
This patch makes the code generator put the compiler version
information in the vvp output file. It also adds checks in vvp
to verify that this version is compatible with the run time.
I am assuming that a base release 0.9.0, etc. will have a
blank VERSION_TAG. Any change relative to the release will have
a VERSION_TAG.
This patch adds a -V flag to the runtime to print version information.
It also updates the manual page to document this and makes some minor
changes to the iverilog an iverilog-vpi manual pages.
Users expect that vpi_put_value() will keep a copy of the string
that is passed to it. This patch implements this buy copying the
string and then freeing it after the actual put_value call.
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.
Eliminate three "warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value"
Obviously not needed, but it's easier to add the superfluous parentheses
than remember that these warnings are benign.
The VVP %join function was incorrectly treating the return from a
non-automatic function as a return from an automatic function in
the case that the non-automatic function result was being used as
a parameter to an automatic function. This patch fixes this error.
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 fixes a number of problems related to the divide and
modulus operators.
The net version (CA) of modulus did not support a signed version.
Division or modulus of a value wider than the machine word did
not correctly check for division by zero and return 'bx.
Fixed a problem in procedural modulus. The sign of the result is
only dependent on the L-value.
Division or modulus of a signed value that was the same width as
the machine word was creating an incorrect sign mask.
Division of a signed value that would fit into a single machine
word was not checking for division by zero.
Division or modulus of a wide value was always being done as
unsigned.
Added a negative operator for vvp_vector2_t. This made
implementing the signed wide division and modulus easier.
Support arrays of realtime variable arrays and net arrays. This
involved a simple fix to the ivl core parser, proper support in
the code generator, and rework the runtime support in vvp.
This patch fixes some problems found when trying to dump words
from a real wire array. There are still a few more things that
look suspicious and need testing.
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.
If a part select (either a constant or constant indexed part select)
of a L-value is fully outside the signal the part select will be
omitted after printing a warning. If a part select straddles the
upper portion of a signal a warning will be printed. The run time
will use only the appropriate part of the select. Straddling the
lower part of the signal is not currently supported and a message
is printed for this case.
It is up to the elaborator to sign-extend the inputs if the multiply
is signed in the Verilog source. The run time always processes the
multiply as unsigned.
Start 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. YMMV.
MinGW uses the GetProcAddress() function to find the address of
the vlog_startup_routines() procedure in a .vpi file. This routine
requires that the leading underscore be omitted from the name even
though the underlying routine really has one.
alloc_instance for real values was just passing a new double
to be added to the context items. The new constructor does
not set the default value so we need to do that manually.
This patch adds non-blocking event control for array words.
It also fixes a problem where the word used to put the
calculated delay for a non-blocking array assignment was
not being released. It also fixes the non-blocking array
assignments to correctly handle off the end/beginning part
selects.
Since some event control assignments can be skipped we need an
event control clear so that future %evctl statements do not fail
their assert. This patch adds %evctl/c and uses it in the compiler
as appropriate to keep the event control information in sync.
This patch adds full event control for vectors and parts of a
vector. It also fixes the other non-blocking part select code
to correctly handle a negative offset ([1:-2] of a [4:0] will
have an offset of -2).
The previous patch (commit 8b0ca902a6)
dealing with the possibilities of (unsigned long) and (vvp_time64_t)
being either the same or different managed to redefine UL_AND_TIME64_DIFF
in the 64-bit case. This does, of course, trigger a compiler warning.
That warning is repeated on every .cc file with a #include "config.h",
which is to say, just about every file.
This patch inverts the sense of the preprocessor conditional, calling
it UL_AND_TIME64_SAME. No more warnings!
A variable that is used to set the delay of a .delay statement
must be scaled to match the local units and for real values
rounded using the precision. This value is then converted to
the simulation precision.
This patch pushes the non-blocking event control information to
the code generator. It adds the %evctl statements that are used
to put the event control information into the special thread
event control registers. The signed version (%evctl/s) required
the implementation of %ix/getv/s to load a signed value into
an index register. It then adds %assign/wr/e event control based
non-blocking assignment for real values. It also fixes the other
non-blocking real assignments to use Transport instead of inertial
delays.
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.
The right shift of vvp_vector2_t needs to
account for and mask off shifted bits. Otherwise
there will be unexpected results after
a vvp_vector2_t::trim method.
Assume that anything that is strength aware already handles a
recv_vec8_pv and make the default function convert the bits
to a vec4 and then call recv_vec4_pv with this new value.
This patch adds support for vpiScaledRealTime and vpiSuppressTime
to VPI callbacks. It also fixes a bug where the callback data
object was not being copied correctly and adds support for
vpiSuppressVal. This requires adding vpiSuppressVal to a few
other routines. It adds the ability for a callback to return
more than vpiScalarVal (all values supported by the
vpip_vec4_get_value() procedure). It also fixes a bug where
vpip_vec4_get_value() would incorrectly return vpiZ for a BIT4_X
scalar value. It also comments the potentially dangerous
vpiScalarVal calculation in the vvp_fun_signal::get_value()
procedure.
This patch causes a thread that is created to evaluate a function
to be executed immediately. The parent thread is resumed when the
function thread terminates.
When multiply is done in native words, the conversion to words from the
vp_vector4_t vectors must be done signed. This only matters if the
input operands are different sizes (and themselves signed) but will
not hurt even if we want an unsigned result.
Logical (in)equality needs to look at all the bits of both operands,
and cannot short circuit the test unless defined bits differ. If there
are undefined bits, the equality is undefined at that point, but return
x only if there are not other bits that make the results clearly
unequal.
The double to vvp_vector4_t constructor was not using the correct
declaration for the bit words. This worked as long as unsigned and
unsigned long were the same size (usually).
The new real to int conversion was incorrectly setting the
bits for minus infinity to all ones. This is incorrect in a
two's complement encoding where the largest negative number
would be a leading 1 followed by an infinite number of zeros.
This patch updates the %cvt/vr command to use the new double to vector
constructor. This allows the resulting bit pattern to be larger than
a long. The old method was producing incorrect results without a
warning for large bit values.
This patch makes .part/pv strength aware, resolv vec8_pv
aware. vvp_net_fun_t adds vec8_pv as a virtual function
with an appropriate error default. vvp_fun_signal should
full support vec8_pv (not tested and may not be needed).
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 handles the general case of a non-real operand to a real-valued
division. This can turn up if only 1 operand of a divide is real. In
this case the division as a whole is real and the other operand must
be cast to real.
This method creates an extra node, but it should be a very compact
node and this node does no evaluation tricks so in the run time should
be no more expensive then folding the cast into the .arith/div.r itself.
This patch changes the base oct to string converter to correctly
pad the top digit. x or xx should display as a single lower case
x when they are located in the top bits. Before these were being
interpreted as 00x or 0xx and displayed X. Also modified the hex
conversion to use this same scheme instead of a loop.
First, handle the trivial (but possibly common) resolution cases in
inlined code, and only call the complete function for the complicated
cases. Then clean up the complex function for readability, and account
for the constraints that the front-end function established.
Arrays of vvp_vector4_t values redundantly store some fields in every
word. Create a special type that stores vvp_vector4_t values in a form
that does not duplicate the width of all the items. This can save a lot
of space when big memories are simulated.
The schedule_assign_plucked_vector is a better way to implement the
schedule_assign_vector, or at least no worse, so remove the now
redundent schedule_assign_vector.
It is legal (though worthy of a warning, I think) for the part select
of an l-value to me out of bounds, so replace the error message with
a warning, and generate the appropriate code. In the process, clean
up some of the code for signal l-values to divide out the various kinds
of processing that can be done. This cleans things up a bit.
The load-and-add for vectors %load/vp0/s can be combined with the
load-and-add for array words, and the %load/avp0/s added to round
out the combinations. This can make for fewer instructions when
words are padded in arithmetic expressions.
The functor_ref_lookup() function fills its argument in with the
vvp_net_t* pointer that matches the var name, so there is no need
to create the vvp_net_t object before then.
The vpiIndex is really just a different view into the same object,
so implement the trickery needed to support a vpiIndex with the
absolute minimum memory cost.
The %load/vp0 instruction adds a signed value to the signal value being
loaded, but it doesn't allow for a signed source vector. Add the
%load/vp0/s instruction that pads the loaded vector, and add the code
generator details to properly use it.
The vvp_net_fun_t objects, and derived objects, are small, and are
created in large quantities. Tightly pack them into permanently
allocated space in order to save on system allocation overhead, and
thus save overall on memory.
The part select of a vector is converted by the compiler during
elaboration to a 0-based canonical address. But since it is legal
to address bits below the LSB, the canonical address can be negative.
So make the part select base for selecting from signals work with
signed arithmetic and make the code generator generate negative
indices when needed.
Scheduler cells are small objects that come and go in great quantities.
Even though they are allocated and deallocated a lot, they tend to a
steady state quantity, so put together a heap that is unique for each
cell type.
This heap actually saves memory overall because cells are allocated in
chunks, thus eliminating allocator overhead, and they are pulled/pushed
from/to a heap very quickly so that what overhead remains is slight and
bounded.
The vvp_net_t objects are never deleted, so overload the new operator
to do a more space efficient permanent allocation.
The %assign/v instruction copied the vvp_vector4_t object needlessly
on its way to the scheduler. Eliminate that duplication.(cherry picked from commit d0f303463d)
The vvp_vector8_t constructor and destructor involve memory allocation
so it is best to pass these objects by reference as much as possible.
Also have the islands take more care not to perform resolution if the
inputs aren't really different.
NOTE: This is a port of commit 2f4e5bf5b6
from the "performance" branch, without the resolver scheduling changes.
This was causing test suite variances with pr1820472.v. It looks like
there might be a race in that program anyhow, but for now leave out the
resolver scheduling changes so that the rest of this commit can go in.
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.
The %load/v instruction was doing some spurious resizes of the vector
that comes from the signal. Eliminate those resizes that can be
removed, and optimize some that remain.
This is not a solution to all the problems, but is a better catch-all
then what is currently there. Allow the index field to be a T<> that
accesses the thread to get the address index.
Note that the lexor.lex currently returns the T<> as a T_SYMBOL, and the
users of T_SYMBOL objects need to interpret the meaning. This is
probably not the best idea, in light of all the other *<> formats that
now exist.
If a memory word was accessed before it was defined the
code was returning a zero width vector result. Now it
returns an appropriately sized vector of 'x'.
The memory opcodes %assign/mv, %load/mv and %set/mv
were removed by a previous patch. This one removes
the documentation from opcodes.txt. It also removes
the documentation for the .mem* statements for the
same reason.
Recursive branch resolution was scanning every branch end, even though
many branch ends share ports and need not be repeatedly scanned. Handle
marks and flags to cut off recursion where it is not needed so as to
save much run time.
Conflicts:
tgt-vvp/vvp_scope.c
Note that the draw_net_input.c takes in a lot of the codes that used
to be in vvp_scope.c, so some changes may have been lost.
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.
Fold the bi-directional part select into the pass switch (tran) support
so that it can be really bi-directional. This involves adding a new
tranvp device that does part select in tran islands, and reworking the
tran island resolution to handle non-identical nodes. This will be needed
for resistive tran devices anyhow.
The vvp_island classes are added, as well as support for tranif nodes
that use this concept. The result is a working implementation for
tranif0 and tranif1.
In the process, the symbol table functions were cleaned up and made
into templates for better type safety, and the vvp_net_ptr_t was
generalized so that it can be used by the branches in the island
implementation.
Also fix up the array handling to use the better symbol table support,
and to remember to clear its own table when linking is done.
The multiply runs does not need to do all the combinations of digit
products, because the higher ones cannot add into the result. Fix the
iteration to limit the scan.
