L-value bit selects were incorrectly converting an undefined index to 0.
L-value part selects were asserting if an undefined index was given.
This patch unifies how all these are handle (including indexed part selects).
The base is set to an undefined value and an appropriate width is used.
A warning message is always printed since this is not a simple out of
range issue. It is the responsibility of the code generator to skip the
assignment, but we always want to execute the R-value since it could have
a side effect.
Add properties to the classes, and elaborate expressions that
have class properties. Describe class object property references
all the way down to the stub target.
When string[x] is an l-value, generate code to implement something
like the string.putc(x, ...) method.
Also handle when string[x] is the argument of a system task. In that
case resort to treating it as a calculated 8-bit vector, because that
is what it is.
This handles a few cases where the non-constant bit selects are
in the final index. This doesn't handle all the cases of packed
arrays, but it handles some common cases.
Update the line number for a couple cppcheck suppressions and add one for
the pool variable in the vvp directory.
Also move a check for null to the correct place.
This patch modifies the compiler and the ivl interface to pass the
type of indexed part select that is being represented (up/down) in
a procedural L-value or R-value. This is needed by any back end that
wants to correctly denormalize the (zero based) base expression.
This patch covers more than it should. It removes many of the -Wextra
warnings in the main ivl directory. It also makes some minor code
improvements, adds support for constant logicals in eval_tree (&&/||),
adds support for correctly sign extending === and !==, it starts to
standardize the eval_tree debug messages and fixes a strength bug
in the target interface (found with -Wextra). The rest of the warnings
and eval_tree() rework will need to come as a second patch.
I'm adding more uses of the make_range_from_width function, so
it seems like time to get rid of its use of the svector template.
This thread led to a lot of other uses of svector that had to
also be removed.
This patch adds an optimization when a constant indexed part
select covers the entire L-value. It also fixes a few issues
in the code generator related to part selects.
This patch is a major rewrite of the indexed part selects (+: and -:).
It made the following enhancements:
1. Make indexed part selects work correctly with both big and little
endian vectors.
2. Add a warning flag that warns about constant out of bounds/or 'bx
indexed selects.
3. Moved the -: parameter code to its own routine.
4. Added support for straddling before part selects in a CA.
5. Added more assert(! number_is_unknown) statements.
6. Add warning for &PV<> select with a signed index signal that is
less than the width of an int. This will be fixed later.
7. Add support for loading a 'bx/'bz constant into a numeric register.
8. Add a number of signed value fixes to the compiler/code generator.
9. Major fix of draw_select_expr() in the code generator.
In 1364-2005 it is an explicit error to take the select of a scalar
or real value. We added the checks for real a while ago. This patch
adds the functionality for scalar values. In the future we may want
to push the scalar property to the run time.
Wires are not allowed as l-values of procedural assignments, even if
the wire is an array. Fix the checker to detect this case event when
the l-value is an array.
This patch fixes some technically benign problems found by valgrind,
but we may as well give the values a default to make sure things
work correctly. I believe that the default I choose is the
appropriate value for the context.
The other problem is that real valued (local)parameters should be
printed as a real value like a real variable, etc. Trying to
do this as a decimal with the string formatting was causing a
memory problem. I could have fixed the routine to handle this,
but the better solution was to just display things the right way.
Part selects need to be fully defined. If not, then the resulting
expression is 'bx no matter what. The same for bit selects, when
the bit select expression is constant.
This patch splits any VVP net functor that needs to access both
statically and automatically allocated state into two sub-classes,
one for handling operations on statically allocated state, the
other for handling operations on automatically allocated state.
This undoes the increase in run-time memory use introduced when
automatic task/function support was first introduced.
This patch also fixes various issues with event handling in automatic
scopes. Event expressions in automatic scopes may now reference either
statically or automatically allocated variables or arrays, or part
selects or word selects thereof. More complex expressions (e.g.
containing arithmetic or logical operators, function calls, etc.) are
not currently supported.
This patch introduces some error checking for language constructs
that may not reference automatically allocated variables. Further
error checking will follow in a subsequent patch.
It is legal (though worthy of a warning, I think) for the part select
of an l-value to me out of bounds, so replace the error message with
a warning, and generate the appropriate code. In the process, clean
up some of the code for signal l-values to divide out the various kinds
of processing that can be done. This cleans things up a bit.
This patch reworks much of the ternary code to short circuit when
possible and supports real values better. It adds a blend operator
for real values that returns 0.0 when the values differ and the value
when they match. This deviates slightly from the standard which
specifies that the value for reals is always 0.0 when the conditional
is 'bx. There are also a couple bug fixes.
These fixes have not been ported to continuous assignments yet.
Ternary operators used at compile time and in procedural assignments
should be complete (short circuit and support real values).
