Currently, edge event functors declared in automatically allocated
scopes that are used to detect edges on signals declared in static
scopes are unable to correctly determine edge information for the
first signal delta they receive because they do not know the old
state of the signal. This patch causes the state of static signals
received by these event functors to be recorded as static state in
the functors, so the old state of the signals can be initialised
to the correct value when a new automatic context is created.
Currently a part select functor will send updates to nodes connected
to its output whenever any part of its input vector changes. This
patch ensures updates are only sent when the selected part of the
input vector changes.
This patch fixes a CA to evaluate and ignore a replication of zero.
It also fixes a minor glitch in the data type calculation code. This
was causing a problem if a zero width replication was the first
element in a concatenation/replication since the data type was hard
coded to the first element of the concatenation/replication. It now
uses the first defined element in the concatenation/replication to
determine the data type.
This patch evaluates the whole concatenation expression and
makes the concatenation padding sign aware. This is needed
when $signed({...}) is passed as an argument.
A repetition is just N copies of the base expression not N
evaluations of the base expression. This is only a problem
when functions have side effects. It's also faster to copy.
The evaluation must also be done when the replication count
is zero (see 1364-2005).
When a C-style comment /* */ is being skipped because it is in a
skipped `ifdef, `ifndef, etc. directive then we need to output a
'\n' at any comment end of line.
This patch modifies the original SystemVerilog timeunit/timeprecision
patch in the following way:
Removed trailing space.
Reworked some code to use standard spacing rules.
Added some comments.
Combined some code.
Major rework of local/global timeunit/timeprecision logic.
Major rework of timeunit/timeprecision declaration/check code.
This was needed to remove the shift/reduce warnings.
Add a number of checks for invalid combinations.
Take wires out of the signals/variables and move them into a filter
instead. This is a big shift, and finally starts us on the path to
divide wires out of signals.
We want the entire force/release subsystem to only reference the
vvp_net_t or vvp_net_fil_t objects in a net. This gives us the
latitude to take wire implementations out of the vvp_net_fun classes.
Make the code smarter so it can keep fewer items in the lists.
Scopes and explicitly given variables are all that is kept.
Includes a few other refinements.
This patch adds support for dumping named events to the VCD
dumper only. The LXT and LXT2 will be added once this has
been tested more. It also reworks the $dumpvars routine
to be more consistent concerning warning messages for duplicate
signal dump requests and fixes some bugs.
For events you will get extra events at T0 and at $dumpon. I
plan to fix this, but that is much more involved.
For duplicate signal warnings. Implicit duplicates loaded
automatically from a scope will not display a warning. Only
an explicit signal request will print a warning if it was
already included. All other will be silently ignored. This
should limit the warning to only what the user cares about.
For example:
$dumpvars(0, var, scope_that_includes_var);
Will work without a warning message.
$dumpvars(0, scope_that_includes_var, var);
Will generate a warning since the var was already included
by the scope request.
Other enhancements include the start of including type
information in the output. For now integer is added, the
other type information will require changes to the code
generator and hence will only be done in development.
This was incorrectly using the expression sign not checking if
the two sub-expressions are both signed. This likely used to
work, but in the context of $signed which sets the expression
to signed so we can have a signed expression without both
sub-expressions being signed.
These methods are type specific, but the code that invokes them
get at them from pointers to filter objects, so it makes sense to
make them abstract methods of the vvp_net_fil_t class.
An implicit sensitivity list that has selects (bit, part, indexed
part or array) will include more than the user expects so print a
warning to let them know what will happen. Other simulators have
the same behavior, but I believe this is incorrect and needs to
be fixed to only include the appropriate parts. The warnings can
go when we fix this functionality, but we need them now to warn
the user that they may not be getting what they expect. One other
simulator warns for array selects.
This patch also adds the array index to the sensitivity list.
This patch fixes a number of bugs related to real variable and net
arrays. Specifically the following:
1. When iterating over (scanning) a net array start at base index 0
not index 1.
2. Don't fail when iterating over (scanning) a real variable array.
3. Run the array_word_change() routine when a real variable array
word is changed. This allows array ports and value change
callbacks to work correctly.
4. Update the array_word_change() routine to work with real variable
arrays.
5. Update the array port code to support real variable arrays.
6. find_name() needs to also iterate over net array words just like
memory array words.
7. Initialize all real array words to 0.0 when the array is created.
This patch removes some of the unneeded differences in the
various dumper routines. This is the start of a complete
refactoring, but the first task is to make them as common
as possible and this is the start of that.
When processing procedural real expressions we need to evaluate
non-real sub-expressions as bit based expressions and then
convert the result to a real value. This is particularly import
for integer division.
This patch changes the initial buffer size when displaying results
to 512 from 256. This initial buffer is used as the default for the
floating point results and failed when %f is given a large, but
valid value. To make this even more safe we add the precision to
the size to make sure we do not overflow the buffer.
This patch cleans up some unneeded code. Releases some allocated
memory before the compiler quits and fixes a couple minor memory
leaks in the compiler and vvp code generator.
Added support for the -N option, which causes $stop and ^C to behave
like $finish with an exit code of 1.
While I was at it, I noticed that the summary line in the man page for
vvp was missing a couple of options, so I fixed that.
The fd table used to be statically allocated with only 32 entries.
Three of these were preallocated for stdin, stdout and stderr
leaving only 29 for the user. This patch makes the allocation of
this table dynamic with a hard limit at 1024 total fds. The table
is increased in 32 bit chunks.
Someone got a bit too creative in reducing the original equations
I wrote to handle this. This patch reverts the previous code and
uses my original equations. This passes for both wide and narrow
vectors. The equations are slightly more complicated, but the old
z2x conversion had some overhead. I would expect the time to be
about the same, but you now get the correct results.
This patch adds code to parse and ignore the following timing checks:
$nochange 1364-1995
$skew 1364-1995
$fullskew 1364-2001
$removal 1364-2001
$timeskew 1364-2001
The other checks were already supported. These have not been tested,
but they use the same basic terms as the other checks. We can fully
test these when we actually implement them.
This patch adds -g2001-noconfig command line flag. The compiler
already supported this with `begin_keywords. Document this in
the manual page and fix a few other issues.
Fix endgenerate to be a 2001 keyword and add a few missing
keywords at the appropriate standard level e.g.(unsigned).
Add uwire and deprecate wone. wone used to just convert without
a warning to a wire. uwire will display a warning that it is
being converted to a wire without a check. wone is converted to
a uwire with a warning and then prints the uwire message. The
uwire message will be replaced with a real check fairly soon.
During macro expansion (with arguments), there is one global buffer
(exp_buf) that keeps getting reallocated to fit all the macro's text
that's currently being expanded. The problem with this scheme is that if
a macro with arguments needs to be expanded from the macro text of another
macro with arguments, it may happen that the second expansion forces
the above exp_buf buffer to be reallocated. Which is fine until the
previous macro processing resumes where (struct include_stack_t *)->str
now points to uninitialised memory. Basically, the code that can trigger
such behaviour is as follows:
`define FOO(a) (a+3)
`define BAR(b) (`FOO(b)+2)
`BAR(x)
Ofcourse, you need to get lucky to get the exp_buf to be realloced at the
right point, but it's possible.
I don't see the advantage in keeping all the expanding macro's text
together, so my solution is to simply allocate a new buffer and pass it
as (struct include_stack_t *)->str to the flex parsing function and free
it at the end.
Icarus has recognized this directive, but it did not do anything
with the information. This patch adds the functionality for most
common cases. It adds this by changing the input net type from
wire/tri to tri1 or tri0 depending on the pull. The issue is that
if the input net is not a wire or tri this is not safe and should
really be done as an external pull gate connected to the input.
We will need to handle this is it ever comes up. For now a sorry
message is printed.
Previously Icarus only supported a default net type of wire or none.
This patch adds the rest of the supported net types (all except
uwire and trireg) to the `default_nettype directive. It also fixes
make_implicit_net_() to use the default_nettype instead of always
using implicit (the same as wire).
This patch reworks the `timescale directive to do a better
job of parsing the line, it refactors some of the code and
should produce better error messages. It also tightens up
parsing the numeric constant, etc. to better match the
Verilog standard.
The parsing of `line has been enhanced to only allow 0, 1 or
2 for the level and a single line comment at the end of the
line is ignored.
