When scaling a time value we would often use the power operator to
create constants 10**-N that were then multiplied with the original
value. The problem with this is that there is some errors in the
representation of the fractional number. It is better to create a
integer value 10**N and then divide the original value by this
exact constant. You still have the calculation error, but the scale
value is now an exactly real value.
Add support for %m, suppression '*' and a maximum field width along with
a number of other fixes/enhancements. There is still no support for
%u, %v or %z.
Some of the last changes I added to the enumeration next()/prev() code
introduced a memory leak under some situations. This patch fixes the
leak by freeing the iterator before the new one is created.
Add an implementation for the enumeration name() method. This currently
only works if the context defines the return width (e.g. the result is
assigned to a variable). It does not work in a self-determined context
(e.g. as an argument to a system function or in a comparison). This is
a limitation in the compiler/code generator/run time not the method
implementation provided here. We may need full string support to make
this work 100%.
The standard defines how to calculate the name for an access function
or iterator if one is not given. It is supposed to be vpi followed by
the words in the name with each word capitalized. For the one to many
(iterator) interface from the enumeration typespec to the individual
constants this is vpiEnumConst not vpiMember.
Rework the actual next() and prev() methods to correctly process the
numeric count argument. Also rework the compiletf routine to give better
error messages and combine the call routine for the two methods.
Add a compiletf routine that checks the arguments and then report that
the name() method is not currently implemented.
The vpiDecStrVal case for the get_numeric() function needs to use the
existing string width as the minimum result size. -1 can be represented as
a signed value with a width of 1. This gives a display width of -1 which
is too small for the -1 string value. This was creating valgrind issues.
In general the string value should be the minimum so this is a safe change.
This patch updates the $scanf and $printtimescale routines to work with
two-state variables. It also updates the general is_numeric check to
recognize two-state variables as numeric.
Modify the $random code to allow the seed to be either an int, long or
bit that is 32 bits or longer. The 32 bit check is new and also applies
to reg/logic variables.
Technically the sized function is not currently needed by Icarus since
the SFT file handles this type of information, but lets define this so
that things work correctly if we ever switch to using the standard VPI
interface. Also mark this as a system defined function.
This patch removes the space between -L and the directory in the vpi
Makefile. It also fixes the line to use the correct variable name
for the LDFLAGS.
The $ivlh_attribute_event system function helps the Verilog runtime
support <name>'event expressions in VHDL. The vhdlpp generates a
call to $ivlh_attribute_event, which in turn uses callbacks to handle
the support.
This is also the start of the vhdl_sys vpi module. This module should
by included whenever VHDL code is parsed.
Icarus is not actually fast enough to run into this issue in a
reasonable amount of time. I discovered this by thinking about
the algorithm and verified the fix with custom code.
The code should be able to correctly parse any command string and
assign the appropriate values from the file to a structure that will
be used to add the information to the table structure.
snprintf() copies at most N characters, but the string may not be
terminated correctly. This patch uses sizeof() so that the snprintf()
call matches the size of the buffer and adds code to insert a NULL as
the last character of the string.
Added an explicit option prefix="yy" to files that were generated
without an explicit -P.
This makes the lex-generated symbol names self contained without any
help from from build system.
The const fixes for lxt_write.c were never pushed to GTKWave so
they were lost in a later sync with GTKWave. These changes have
now been pushed to GTKWave.
To get the correct definition for _FILE_OFFSET_SIZE we must include
the header that loads this before calling the other system headers.
This patch also fixes a minor spacing issues.
After some more thought I believe it is better for $q_full to return
'bx instead of 2 when $q_full is given an invalid id. This will make
the typical full/not full checks both return false. We still return
an error code in the status variable.
This patch adds preliminary support for implementing the $table_model()
function for Verilog-A. It is not currently functional, but the VPI
interface routines and data file parsing are mostly complete. The big
things left are building the data structures and adding the interpolation
and extrapolation routines.
We also need to fix vvp to identify constant strings/parameters in a
structural context.
