This patch covers more than it should. It removes many of the -Wextra
warnings in the main ivl directory. It also makes some minor code
improvements, adds support for constant logicals in eval_tree (&&/||),
adds support for correctly sign extending === and !==, it starts to
standardize the eval_tree debug messages and fixes a strength bug
in the target interface (found with -Wextra). The rest of the warnings
and eval_tree() rework will need to come as a second patch.
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.
It turns out that although there was all kinds of code to manage
these members, there were no uses anywhere. It must have been a
legacy from a previous era. So remove the dead code so that it
doesn't confuse me again.
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.
With this small patch, building succeeds with Debian's current gcc-snapshot,
gcc (Debian 20081130-1) 4.4.0 20081130 (experimental) [trunk revision 142292]
That gcc also warns about the remaining #idents in
vvp/concat.cc
vvp/dff.h
The resulting build shows some regressions in the test suite, that
I am still investigating. The patch does not break building, or show
test suite regressions, with gcc-4.3.
Put together the infrastructure for elaborating analog statements,
including create the NetAnalogTop objects that hold analog statements
and are in turn held by the design.
While doing this, clean up the various unique initial/always enumerations
to use the ivl_process_type_t type.
In preparation for using the synthesize method to replace the
elaborate_net method of PExpr, rework the interface to the
synthesize() method. This changes no fnctionality, but does set
up the infrastructure for the next step.
This patch adds code to prevent the broken synthesis code in
the development branch from core dumping. Broken code here
refers to the Icarus code not a Verilog file.
Rework the handling of file names to use a perm_string heap to hold
the file names, instead of the custom file name heap in the lexor.
Also rename the get_line to get_fileline to reflect its real duties.
This latter chage touched a lot of files.
more general concept of arrays. The NetMemory and NetEMemory
classes are removed from the ivl core program, and the IVL_LPM_RAM
lpm type is removed from the ivl_target API.
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.
instead of link into the netlist. This is faster
and uses less space. Make the NetAssignNB carry
the delays instead of the NetAssign_ lval objects.
Change the vvp code generator to support multiple
l-values, i.e. concatenations of part selects.
