Use the new cur_instance variable to get the call handle instead of calling
vpi_handle(vpiSysTfCall, 0).
This completes a proper fix for issue #141, to replace the problematic fix
that was reverted in commit 8da8261f.
PLI 1.0 callbacks are directly associated with the instance of the system
task/function that initiated them, allowing them to access the task/function
arguments. However, we implement them using VPI callbacks, which are not so
associated. So we need to pass the VPI handle for the associated task/function
instance to the callback routine via the VPI callback user_data pointer,
because vpi_handle(vpiSysTfCall, 0) will return null when called from the
callback function.
This is the first step to a proper fix for issue #141, to replace the
problematic fix that was reverted in commit 8da8261f.
sync_cb::run_run() attempts to cast the obj field of the callback data to a
__vpiSysTaskCall pointer. But a sync_cb object is only used for simulation
time callbacks, where the obj field is (mostly) not used, so I can't see
that would ever succeed. As the obj field is not required to be set by the
user, the dynamic cast results in undefined behaviour, so mingw32 is not to
blame.
This code was introduced by Johann Klammer in commit c79df7c44, but the user
klammerj and all trace of that pull request have vanished from GitHub, and
there is no associated regression test, so I can't establish the rationale
for it.
When doing continuous assignment of packed structs, support the case
where the value being assigned is a member of a member, etc. Procedural
assignments already support this.
See issue#307
IEEE Std 1800-2017 Section 7.6 Array assignments
Assignment of a dynamic array creates a duplicate of the source,
so that assignments to the copy don't impact the original. Handle
all sorts of dynamic array base types.
