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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Functions like $monitor need to attach callbacks to array words if
those words are to be monitored. Have the array hold all the callbacks
for words in the array, under the assumption that the monitored words
are sparse.
Array words don't have a vpiHandle with a label, so the %vpi_call
needs a special syntac for arguments that reference array words.
This syntax creates an array word reference that persists and can
be used at a VPI object by system tasks.
This patch adds file and line information for parameters and
local parameters. It also adds file/line stubs for signals in
the tgt-* files. It adds the pform code needed to eventually
do genvar checks and passing of genvar file/line information.
It verifies that a genvar does not have the same name as a
parameter/local parameter.
This patch adds code to push the file and line information
for scope objects (modules, functions, tasks, etc.) to the
runtime. For modules, this includes the definition fields.
In previous incarnations of the vvp runtime, bit vectors were passed
around as arrays of unsigned char that charried bit4 vectors. That
is no longer used. Remove the last vestiges of that dead code.
vvp did not have the ability to handle real parameters.
This patch fixes that omission. Parameters are only used
by vpi calls to get compile time information.
vpi_put_value can mimic force and release with vpiForceFlag and
vpiReleaseFlag flags to the vpi_put_value call. With this patch,
the infrastructure is added to allow the flags argument to be passed
to the dispatched put_value function, and for signals handle those
flags as force/release of a net.
Add the vpiFile and vpiLineNo properties to system functions.
Most other objects have stubs that return "N/A"/0. Interactive
functions (called from the debugger) use <interactive> for the
file name.
Gets rid of a few warning: deprecated conversion from string
constant to 'char*', follows IEEE 1364-2001C 27.10 in more cases,
and fixes at least one real bug (look at the previous use of
strdup/strcat in real_var_get_str() and signal_get_str()).
Parse SDF file annotations of edge sensitive delay paths.
Add vpi support for getting the specified edge sensitivity of
an edge sensitive path, and annotate paths with proper attention
to the edge that is specified for the path.
Use the new array VPI functionality (vpiIndex, vpiParent, vpiArray)
to dynamically generate array word names. The old patch to implement
was mostly reverted.
Add the array related VPI calls. These will be used to generate
the array word name only as needed to conserve space. This patch
also makes scanmem3 from the vpi test work correctly after a
slight gold file update.
This patch adds the ability to dump array words. The words are only
dumped if they appear in a $dumpvars() statement (they are not dumped
by default). The name used for the word is <array_name>[<index>], so
you can get unexpected name conflicts.
There is also a slight increase in the memory requirements since each
array word now keeps its own name information. In the future we would
like to change this, but that is a much larger rewrite of the array
code in vvp.
This patch also needs the "Prefix escaped identifier ..." patch to
work correctly (the array word name is an escaped identifier).
This patch fixes/enhances the array part select code. It also
verifies that any lval array index in a continuous assignment
is a constant value. Also, %set/av now uses index register 1 as
described in the documentation (as a bit offset).
Cleanup klunky implementation of vpi_get/put_delays for modpath
objects. Remove some useless members.

The modpath source node defines the modpath object, and carries the
nodes for the source expression. The modpath outputs are references
by pointers to the vpiModPath that is not in itself a vpi object
any more. This makes the VPI view of a module path look like the
source-destinaiton pair that is the IEEE1364 description of the
modpath.
Add vvp support for modpath path term outputs. This also introduces
the concept of path terms and moves towards the path term in general
for getting at the endpoits of a modpath.
Clean up rather poorly written modpath vpi support, fixing the
parse of the modpath syntax element to not use pointless globals.
Collect the modpath code into the delay.cc file instead of the
inapropriate vpi_signal.cc source file.

This patch adds ivl_scope_time_precision() to the compiler which can
be used to extract the local scope precision. tgt-stub and tgt-vvp
have been modified to use this new function and output a value that
is appropriate. The vvp runtime has been altered to use this new
data which is accessed with the vpip_time_precision_from_handle()
function. vpiTimePrecision uses this function to return the correct
precision.
Add support for accessing the modpath nodes via PLI,
and add support for the vpi_set_delays and vpi_put_delays
functions to set the delays on those paths.
- GSoC 2007
This patch makes vpiFullName for real variables return the correct
value. A Scope reference was added to the base structure along with
the relevant code to support generating the full name. A couple of
memory leaks were plugged and some formatting fixed as well.

classes are removed from the ivl core program, and the IVL_LPM_RAM
lpm type is removed from the ivl_target API.
