elab_expr.cc:1561: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
caused by revised prototype of NetNet::sb_to_idx() in
commit dfb7bf5211
The Verilog LRM specifies that it is legal to give constant part
selects that are beyond the bounds of the identifier being selected.
But elaboration was flagging that as an error. This patch changes it
to a warning, and handles the cases by generating 'bx bits as needed.
The elaborator improperly allowed user function call nodes to take on
the expression width requested of them. The result was that generated
code had junk pad bits in certain cases.
When calculating 0^z with constant arguments, make sure the result is
x. This problem only happens when the arguments are constants and the
expression is calculated at compile time.
Verilog does not allow macro expansion in strings, and that's that.
But sometimes people want strings of a macro expansion, so add a
stringify syntax that does the trick.
Verilog-AMS supports scaled real numbers, where the "e<N>" (scientific
notation) is replaced with engineering scales from "a" (atto-) to
m (milli-) and "K" (kilo-) to "T" (tera-). This syntax can be handled
way down in the lexor.
IEEE1364 has specific names for the various generations of Verilog that
are supported. Icarus Verilog should stick to those names for selection
the language feature set.
In the process, the extensions that were tied to the 2x generations
are pulled out out and given their own enable flags. The makes all the
feature control more regular and understandable.
This patch adds a new system function $vvp_cpu_wordsize. It returns
the size of the underlying CPU word (long) in bits. This function
can be used to write fully portable tests for the test suite. Other
functions will be added as needed.
The abs() function needs to be able to turn -0.0 into 0.0. This proved
to be too clunky (and perhaps impossible) to do with tests and jumps,
so add an %abs/wr opcode to do it using fabs().
The min/max functions need to take special care with the handling
of NaN operands. These matter, so generate the extra code to handle
them.
Fix when sign extending an expression that the result is also signed.
This bug caused some arithmetic operations (with extended arguments)
to not notice that they are signed.
Also be more robust in noticing that comparisons are signed and should
generate the right code.
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.
In continuous assign expressions, the abs() operator can't easily be
burried in generic unary handling, so add the IVL_LPM_ABS type and
generate it as needed.
The va_math module implements functions that are optional in base
Verilog but included in Verilog-AMS. So automatically include the
module if -gverilog-ams is given.
The va_math module implements functions that are optional in base

Implement in behavioral the abs/min/max operators for real values.
The parser treats these builtin functions as operators, unary or
binary, and elaborates them appropriately.
Also add enough code generator support to handle real valued expressions
in thread context.
Verilog-2005 defines the base-10 log function to be $log10. This makes
sense because in C the log() function is the natural log. So add the
$log10 function.
Since there may be legacy code that uses the $log function, leave it
defined, but we should consider at least printing a warning when the
$log function is used.
Verilog-AMS recommends that users use the system-function style
math functions, but supports traditional style math functions for
portability. Add the keywords and parse the traditional Verilog-A
functions, and handle them as calls to the equivilent system
function.
Add the -gverilog-ams flag to the driver, and the begin_keywords support
for VAMS-2.3 keywords. With this, the infrastructure is in place to
start pulling in features from Verilog-AMS.
The begin_keywords directives manage a mask of keyword sets that are
active at a given moment. This patch makes the lexor actually test
the given keyword against the mask. If it matches, return the keyword
id, if it is disabled then it is an IDENTIFIER.
Package builders/managers find the DESTDIR variable convenient for
installing into a temporary target for building a package. This adds
the DESTDIR varilable to the root makefile.
Also, clean up the verilog.spec file to reduce redundancy so that
maintence for releases is easier.
1364-2001 does not allow a replication count of zero, but
1364-2005 allows them when the replication is enclosed in
a concatenation with other valid bits. This patch adds
code to perform these checks for procedural expressions.
Because of the NetNet object must have a width greater
than zero a replication used in a continuous assignment
can never have a count of zero.
This patch makes sure that objects either support vpiFile
and vpiLineNo or adds dummy code so that a runtime error
will not occur when accessing these properties. It also
returns 1 for the size of real variables and adds a
simplified vpiIndex that matches the Memory interface.
The begin_keywords directive allows the source code to select keyword
subsets so that a bit of code that uses identifiers that class with a
newer version of the standard can still be compiled.
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.
The va_math.vpi module implements systen-function versions of the
Verilog-A math functions. This library was contributed by Cary R.
Also add the constants.vams include file. This is pretty much
direct from the Verilog-AMS LRM.
This patch adds ifnone functionality. It does not produce an
error when both an ifnone and an unconditional simple module
path are given. For this case the ifnone delays are ignored.
This patch does a better job of recovering from an error in a
task or function definition. This prevents the compiler from
printing many irrelevant error messages.
This patch adds the functionality to tasks/functions to handle the
declaration of multiple ports using a single ANSI declaration. It
also deletes the old range vector before it adds the new one. The
tasks and functions are different than modules so we need to copy
the range for them.
