This is syntax permitted in 1364-2001 but removed in 1364-2005.
Also update the iverilog man page to document the anachronisms warning
class that warns about use of this feature when a later generation is
selected.
Removed obsolete -m32 and -ivl options from iverilog-vpi man page
and revised description of -mingw option. Also removed duplicate
descriptions of --cflags, --ldflags, and --ldlibs options. Updated
link to main iverilog web page in all man pages.
The -W option does not (currently) support comma separated lists and
silently ignores any string that doesn't match a known warning class.
Fix by outputing a warning message when the -W argument is unknown.
Before this patch, WARNING_FLAGS applied to both C and C++,
and WARNING_FLAGS_CXX applied to C++ only.
This patch adds a WARNING_FLAGS_CC that applies to C only.
That change should be generally useful; in particular the C
code is almost ready for -Wstrict-prototypes, which does not
apply to C++.
-Wextra (or -W) used to only apply to C++ via WARNING_FLAGS_CXX.
This patch moves it to WARNING_FLAGS, to apply to both C and C++.
Unfortunately, that triggers a ton of warnings.
For now, cover most of the new warnings up by adding
-Wno-unused -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-type-limits
to WARNING_FLAGS_CC. In the long run, I want to change the C coding
style, and take off these disable-warning flags. But those changes
can dribble in as separate commits; this patch is big enough already.
Actually fix a couple missing-field-initializers in libveriuser/veriusertfs.c.
119 formal void parameters added to keep -Wstrict-prototypes happy.
Process found one real missing prototype in vpi/vcd_priv.h:
EXTERN void vcd_names_delete(struct vcd_names_list_s*tab);
8 such warnings left, all in Tony's code
The only known problems left are in files imported from gtkwave,
if not for them you could turn on -Wsign-compare.
Assumes c99 for c code, so the scope of for-loop indexes can be made sane.
Unsized expressions can expand to extremely large widths. Usually this
is actually a mistake in the source code, but it can lead to the compiler
temporarily using extremely large amounts of memory, or in the worst
case, crashing. This adds a cap on the width of unsized expressions (by
default 65536 bits, but overridable by the user), and causes a warning
message to be output when the cap is reached.
To be strictly compliant with the standard and compatible with other
EDA tools, unsized numbers should be treated as having a fixed size
(the same size as an integer). The -gstrict-expr-width option is
extended to allow the user to enable this behaviour.
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.
We need to print a message and fail if the two \\ characters are not found
in the executable path.
Also update the generation warning to include -g2005-sv.
Presumably, the user will want the ability to explicitly set the
working library location, so create a +vhdl-work+ plusarg setting
for exactly that purpose.
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.
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.
It was a poor choice to only add -g2009 for 1800-2009 and ignore the
previous version of System Verilog 1800-2005. This patch adds a
generation for 1800-2005 and also adds `begin_keywords support for
1800-2005. The previous SystemVerilog keywords have been put under
the 1800-2005 generation and the new one from 1800-2009 have also
been added.
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.
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 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.
Add code to print a warning if the user tries to use the -S flag.
We need this warning since synthesis is not currently being actively
maintained or supported in any branch after V0.8.
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 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.
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.
The latest gcc with the latest Cygwin complains when passing a char to
the toupper, tolower, isspace, isalnum, isprint, isdigit or isalpha
functions/macros. These functions are defined to take an integer. This
patch adds cast to int as needed to remove the warnings. After this
there are still two warnings related to signed/unsigned comparison in
yy_get_next_buffer() (part of flex).
Added generation flag -g2009 which enables support for 1800-2009
constructs. Added related support such as "1800-2009" in the
`begin_keywords directive.
Keeps 2005 as the default generation for now.
Removed the -gsytem-verilog flag and folded the 1800-2005 stuff into
1800-2009. The rationale behind this is we have so little of
1800-2005 actually implemented that it does not make sense to
distinguish between 1800-2005 and 1800-2009 SystemVerilog extensions,
so we just count them all as the new 1800-2009 Verilog language.
The MinGW executable should be able to support a path with mixed
separators, but to make things consistent all the path in the main
driver program (driver/main.c) now always use a '\' or convert a
path to use '\' (e.g. getenv() returns a path with a '/').
This patch adds support for spaces in the path to the temporary files.
Adds support for spaces in output files and in library paths.
A space in the installation path is only supported under MinGW
(windows) at this time.
This patch converts a few sprintf statements to snprintf
to protect against buffer overflow.
It also converts a few sizeof calls from sizeof(x) to
sizeof x like other places in the code.
This patch adds support for spaces in the install path on MinGW.
It does this by converting the Long version of the iverilog path
into a Short version that does not have spaces in it. If we don't
do this then we can not add support for other arguments with
spaces in the path or filename. It also modifies the driver-vpi
program to support spaces in the saved ivl path. This is done by
just enclosing the include and library path argument in double
quotes.
The issue on MinGW is that if you put the executable argument to
system in double quotes to escape embedded spaces then you can
not put the arguments in double quotes as well. If you convert
to a Short name then the spaces are removed and we can in the
future escape the arguments as needed.
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.
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.
This patch modifies the iverilog -M command line option to allow
the user to specify an optional output mode that controls which
files get added to the dependency list. This allows the user to
either get a list of all files that contribute to the design,
or a list of the include files, or a list of the module files.
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 two new warning classes that can be enabled or
disabled via the -W command line option. The first controls
whether a warning is generated if a part select within an
always @* statement causes the entire vector to be added to
the implicit sensitivity list. The second controls whether a
warning is generated if a word select within an always @*
statement causes the entire array to be added to the implicit
sensitivity list. The first class is not automatically enabled
by -Wall, the second class is.
This patch adds support for a -Wselect-range warning class to the
driver and ivl programs. This is part of -Wall. The actual checks
will be added in a later patch.
This patch is based on one from "bruce <bruce1914@gmail.com>".
I've applied all but the elaboration code, which I rewrote to
properly work with the elaboration work queue. I also constrained
the implementation so that the parameter name must have exactly
two components: the root scope name and the parameter name. This
is necessary to keep the defparm processing sane. The comments
from bruce's original patch are as follows:
--
This patch would provide function to define parameter from command
line. This serves the same functionality as 'defparam' in Verilog
source code, but provide much more ease for using. Parameter
definition can be write in command file, with following syntax:
+parameter+<scope>.<parameter>=<val>
*Do not apply any space between them*
The scope name should be full hierachical name with root name at
the begining. The following example would override test.T1 with
new value 2'b01:
+parameter+test.T1=2'b01
'test' here is the root module name. The parameter value here
should be constant. Parameter definition can also be write in
the command line:
iverilog -Ptest.T1=2'b01
This serves the same functionality with the previous example.
If we define the same parameter in command file and command line,
the one in command line would over-write all others.
This patch adds -g2001-noconfig command line flag. The compiler
already supported this with `begin_keywords. Document this in
the manual page and fix a few other issues.
Fix endgenerate to be a 2001 keyword and add a few missing
keywords at the appropriate standard level e.g.(unsigned).
Add uwire and deprecate wone. wone used to just convert without
a warning to a wire. uwire will display a warning that it is
being converted to a wire without a check. wone is converted to
a uwire with a warning and then prints the uwire message. The
uwire message will be replaced with a real check fairly soon.
These are not leaks in the true sense of the word, but it is
memory that is not being freed before the program finishes
so valgrind will complain about this.
The dependency file may be written by ivlpp as it loads its own
dependencies. Make sure this doesn't mess up the dependencies that
are already written by the main program. This requires that ivl,
ivlpp and iverilog (driver) cooperate on the opening of the
dependency file.
In the past we automatically added the local directory to
the beginning of the include search path. This was found to
conflict with what other tools do so this functionality is
now only available when the -grelative-include option is
given to iverilog.
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.
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
Continue 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 test suite.
This patch set covers C code, with the notable exception of
vpi/lxt_write{,2}.c.
