There are currently two different systems to evaluate constant expressions
in iverilog.
The PExpr based system using the eval_const() method and the NetExpr based
system using the eval_tree() method. The latter is more complete while the
former only implements the bare minimum and also has some minor bugs.
The PExpr based system is only used to evaluate expressions within
attributes.
Switch attribute expression evaluation over to elab_and_eval(). This
enables to use the full set of constant expressions for attributes, maybe
most importantly constant functions and system math functions.
It also allows to remove the PExpr based system since there are no more
users.

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.
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.
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.
This patch removes all the checks for constant expressions performed
during the parsing phase, as these checks are (mostly) repeated during
elaboration. It adds the missing check in the elaboration phase (the
RHS of a register initialisation), and improves the error reporting
and error recovery in other checks.
This patch fixes pr2132552, which was caused by a fault in the parser
constant expression checking.
syntax. Hook this support into existing $attribute
handling, and add number and void value types.
Add to the ivl_target API new functions for access
of complex attributes attached to gates.
