Void functions can be used in always_comb, but since the compiler

Check that a output port that has a explicit data type, but no explicit
net type is elaborated as a variable type port.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
In SystemVerilog output ports are a variable if either:
* They are explicitly declared a variable (with the `var` keyword)
* There is no explicit net type, but a explicit data type
This is in detail described in section 23.2.2.3 ("Rules for determining port
kind, data type, and direction") of the LRM (1800-2017).
E.g.
```
output x // Net
output [1:0] x // Net
output signed x // Net
output wire x // Net
output wire logic x // Net
output var x // Variable
output logic x // Variable
output var logic x // Variable
output int x // Variable
output real x // Variable
output string x // Variable
output some_typedef x // Variable
```
At the moment the code checks for certain data types and only makes the
output port a variable for those. And it is even different data types
depending on whether the port is declared ANSI or non-ANSI style.
Change this so that if a data type is specified and it is not a implicit
data type (i.e. only ranges or `signed`) then the output is of type
variable.
This ensures consistent and correct behavior.

NetNet::get_isint() is never used anywhere, remove it. The information
whether a signal is an integer is always directly queried from the signal
data type.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
For signals that are declared in a block string_type_t is already used to
pass the type information to the signal elaboration.
But for task ports it is passed as IVL_VT_STRING. Switch this over to also
passing the type information as a data_type_t.
This allows to remove the special handling for IVL_VT_STRING in the signal
elaboration.

Check that it is possible to declare task ports with SystemVerilog types.
Both ANSI style and one for non-ANSI style.

SystemVerilog allows unpacked array dimensions on non-ANSI style task and
function ports.
To support this refactor pform_make_task_ports() to accept a of
pform_port_t, which in addition to the identifier name also allows to
specify per port unpacked dimensions.

Tasks and functions support two types of port declarations. Either ANSI
style, in parenthesis after the task name, or non-ANSI style, as
declaration statements in the task body.
In the current implementation SystemVerilog types are only accept for ANSI
style port declarations, while non-ANSI style only accept Verilog types
(reg, integer, time, real).
Add support for SystemVerilog data types for non-ansi style ports.
This also makes the parsing rules simpler since we can use `data_type` to
match all data types and don't need a explicit rule for each supported data
type.

SystemVerilog allows `parameter` and `localparam` to declare constants
within a class scope. E.g.
```SystemVerilog
class C;
localparam A = 10;
endclass
```
In this context both declare a local parameter that can not be overwritten.
Supporting this can be achieved for the most part by adding a parser
sub-rule in class declaration rule. In addition some extra support code is
needed to mark the parameter as non-overridable.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
It is allowed to access a constant declared in a class scope, such as a
enum value or parameter, on an object of that class type. This is described
in section 8.5 ("Object properties and object parameter data") of the LRM
(1800-2017).
E.g.
```
class C
enum { A } e;
endclass
C c = new;
c.e = c.A;
```
Support this by in addition of searching for class properties on the object
also search for constants in the class scope.
A bit of refactoring is needed around the parameter elaboration functions
since they expect a non-const NetScope, but for classes we only have a
const scope available.
The non-const scope is needed to be able to mark specparams as
non-annotatable. Since classes can't have specparams this part is factored
out into a separate function the NetScope parameter for the shared
functions is made const.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
Parameter expressions need to remember the scope they have been declared in
so that the code generator backends can insert the right parameter
reference, rather than a constant value.
Currently the scope is stored as a non-const reference. But that is not
needed. Mark the scope reference as const so NetEConstParam and
NetECRealParam can be created when only a const scope reference is
available.

The NetScope class has a method called find_parameter() that looks up the
parameter and returns a iterator to it. This is only ever used to get the
line information of the parameter.
Refactor the function so that it only returns the line info. This will
allow to call this function on a const NetScope object.

The has_parameter_port_list member of the LexicalScope class is not
initialized, which means its default value is undefined. This leads to
random failures where a parameter is marked as non-overridable when it
shouldn't.
Make sure has_parameter_port_list is properly initialized to false.

Check that it is possible to use a class new as
an initializer for a variable or property declaration.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
There are currently two rules for parsing variable declarations.
One that is used when declaring variables in as a block declaration item
and another that is use everywhere else.
Consolidate those into a single set of rules. This removes a fair bit of
duplicated code in the parser.
A side effect of this refactoring is that class new statements can be used
as variable initializers as allowed by the standard. E.g.
```
module test;
class C;
endlcass
C c = new C;
endmodule
```
This previously was not supported for block item variable declarations.

Variables don't have a delay or strength and the NetNet::Type is known. Add
a small wrapper around pform_makewire() that can be used to create
variables. This will allow to reduce the boilerplate code for variable
declarations.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
There are a few places where pform_makewire() is used and attributes can be
attached to the created net or variable. At the moment pform_makewire()
doesn't allow to specify the attributes, and they either get dropped
silently or with a warning.
Add support for passing the attributes to pform_makewire() which will then
pass it on to pform_set_data_type() to attach it to the declared net or
variable.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
There are currently two very similar implementations of pform_makewire().
One that takes a `net_decl_assign_t`, the other a `std::list<decl_assignment_t*>`.
The one that takes a `std::list<decl_assignment_t*>` is a superset of the
other. It can handle both wires and variables, while the other can only
handle wires.
Update the parser to generate a `std::list<decl_assignment_t*>` for wire
declarations. This allows to remove one of the two functions.

Most things that can be declared in a module can also be declared in a
generate block.
But there are a few exceptions that can not be declared in generate block
* module, program or interface declaration
* specify block or specparam
* timeunit

cause and application crash.

Split the test into multiple tests that each check one type of invalid
override rather than having one big tests that checks for everything.
This allow to check whether the test passes or fails by seeing if it
compiles or not. The one big test on the other hand relies on seeing the
exact error messages as recorded in the gold file.

For modules, programs and interfaces that have a parameter port list, a
parameter declared inside the scope's body is supposed to be elaborated as
a local parameter.
TThis is described in the Verilog LRM (1364-2005) section 4.10.1 ("Module
parameters") and the SystemVerilog LRM (1800-2017) section 6.20.1
("Parameter declaration syntax").
Implement this by marking a parameter declared in such a way as
non-overridable.
Note that a parameter declared within a named block, function or task can
still be overridden, even if the module has a parameter port list.

The "->" operator is rarely used, but exists. Unfortunately, the syntax
is tied up in a horrible mess with the System Verilog constraint list
syntax. Do some flex magic to make it all work.
SystemVerilog supports parameters without default values in parameter port
list. Add regression tests to check this feature.
Also add a regression test to check that modules without a default
parameter are not automatically picked as a toplevel module.

SystemVerilog allows to omit the default value of a parameter declared in a
parameter port list. In this case the parameter must be overridden for
every module instance. This is defined in section 6.20.1 ("Parameter
declaration syntax") of the LRM (1800-2017).
In addition a module that has a parameter without a default value does not
qualify for automatic toplevel module selection.
