This patch fixes a few compilation warnings introduced by the
enumeration code. It also updates the ivl.def file so that the
proper routines get exported under windows.
Create the v2009.vpi module to include SystemVerilog core
functions, and start out with some of the enum methods.
Add to vvp support for creating enum types, including some
vpi access methods.
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 changes all the iterator code to use a prefix ++ instead
of postfix since it is more efficient (no need for a temporary). It
is likely that the compiler could optimize this away, but lets make
it efficient from the start.
BOOL values have a specific cast from LOGIC, this node takes care
of it. Also arrange for the elaboration to insert them in the right
planes and for the code generator to generate them.
This patch adds -Wextra to the compilation flags for C++ files in
the vvp and vpi subdirectories. It also fixes all the problems
found while adding -Wextra. This mostly entailed removing some of
the unused arguments, removing the name for others and using the
correct number of initializers.
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.
This patch adds a few missing initializations to various constructors
in the vvp directory. It also enhances the array alias code to copy
more values from the aliased array.
Create the .var/2u and .var/2s variable records and give them
basic implementations. Make available to VPI the proper types
for the SystemVerilog types that these variables represent.
This patch adds support for a UDP with variable delays. In the process the
intrinsic support for delays was removed from the UDP functor and replaced
with a call to the .delay functor. Both a normal gate and a UDP now use the
same code to generate the delay.
This patch adds checks that the delay count is correct for the
various gates and adds support for a missing variable decay
time. For this case the decay time is the minimum of the rise
and fall times. This is denoted by setting the decay variable
to 0 in the vvp file. vvp notes this and sets an ignore decay
time property in the base delay. This turns off the ability
to set the decay time and the minimum delay calculation will
also update the decay time.
Elaborate conditional assignments with BUFZ devices that do *NOT*
preserve strengths. Add a BUFT (transparent) device that can be
used in those cases where I really need a transparent buffer.
A real delay must be scaled and rounded using the local precision
before it is finally scaled to the simulation time units. This
patch fixes the compiler to do this correctly or generate the
correct code for run time calculated delays. Delays in a CA
already worked correctly. The run time was also fixed to scale
modpath (SDF back annotation) delays correctly.
This patch modifies the vvp main code to cleanup if there was an
error compiling the input file. There are still a few issues, but
this takes care of most of them.
This patch adds two new opcodes and the infrastructure needed to call
system functions as tasks. The normal %vpi_call will generate an error
if a system function is called as a task. %vpi_call/w will generate a
warning and will ignore any value returned by the function. %vpi_call/i
will ignore the system function return value and will not print a
message. Adding this is a feature request and is supported in
SystemVerilog. Next I need to add flags to control this depending on
the compiler generation and possibly other flags.
I may leave the cast to void (%vpi_call/i) functionality unimplemented
for now.
This patch caches the vpi_call error messages (task/function does
not exist, task being called as a function and function being
called as a task). This allows us to display the file name and line
number information for the invalid usage.
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 documents that the lxt2/lx2 dumper supports -speed and
-space options. It adds -speed, -space, -space-speed and
-speed-space options for the fst dumper. Here are results for a
gate level back annotated design using the fst dumper.
<none> 12.88 seconds 3.5 Meg dump file.
-space 12.89 seconds 2.9 Meg dump file.
-speed 12.36 seconds 4.6 Meg dump file.
-<both> 12.84 seconds 3.2 Meg dump file.
This patch is a slight modification to files Tony Bybell (the author of
GTKWave) send to me. We still have a few more changes we plan to make,
but this should be functional enough for initial testing. Multi-treading
and speed/size flags will be added shortly.
The SunPro compiler does not support struct definitions inside an
anonymous union. This patch moves the struct definition so that both
gcc and SunPro 12.1 compile this without issue.
gcc supports creating an array with a run time defined size. The
SunPro compiler for OpenSolaris does not. This patch converts the
array creation to use conventional (malloc based) array creation.
This patch is similar to the previous patches and cleans up a single
place in the vvp directory where an enum had a trailing ',' and a
place where a C++ routine needed extern "C".
Some new shadow issues have crept in. This patch fixes these new
issues and adds -Wshadow to the normal warning flags to keep any
new occurrences from happening.
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.
Tran islands must do their calculations using the forced values,
if any. But the output from a port must also be subject to force
filtering. It's a little ugly, but hopefully won't hurt the more
normal case.
It is acceptable to call delete on a NULL object. It's also acceptable
to assign the value to zero if it is already zero. Removing the
superfluous if should produce slightly better code since there is no
conditional to deal with except for what is likely in the delete
implementation, but that should be highly optimized.
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.
