SystemVerilog requires that functions and tasks are not implicitly imported
if a symbol with the same name appears in the scope, even if it the symbol
is declared after its usage.
To support this a list of potential imports is collected while parsing a
scope and only when the end of the scope is reached it is evaluated whether
the symbol should be imported or not based on whether it already exists in
the scope.
This currently works fine for all scopes except for the unit scope. Since
the unit scope might span multiple files it is never explicitly closed and
the potential imports are never checked.
Make sure that after parsing all files is done the potential imports for
the unit scope are checked.

When elaborating a subclass, the base class scope needs to be elaborated
before the subclass scope. If the base class and subclass are defined in
different packages, this requires the package scopes to be elaborated in
the correct order. SystemVerilog reqires packages to be defined before
they are used, so that is the order we should elaborate them in.
The compilation unit scope is now treated as a specialised form of
package (with an automatically generated name). All items declared
outside a design element are added to the current compilation unit
package. Apart from when searching for a symbol, once we get into
elaboration we can treat these just like any other package.
This adds a -u option to the driver to allow the user to specify that
they want each source file to be treated as a separate compilation
unit, and modifies the compiler to accept a list of files (either on
the command line or via a file specified by a new -F option). This
list of files is then preprocessed and parsed separately, causing all
compiler directives (including macro definitions) to only apply to the
file containing them, as required by the SystemVerilog standard.
Two fixes needed:
- when searching for a base class, we need to look in the root scope
if the base class isn't found in the scope hierarchy
- the classes in the root scope need to be stored in an ordered
list, not a map, to ensure they are elaborated in the order they
were declared. Without this, the compiler may try elaborating an
extended class before its base class is known about.
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 adds support for the `resetall directive.
It also changes `celldefine, `endcelldefine and `resetall
to no longer grab text following them. These directives do
not take an argument so they should not be grabbing any
text and silently discarding it.
The `timescale processing was reworked to handle being
reset and hooks were added to easily change the default
time units and precision when we add that feature request.
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.
