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).
draw_number_bool64() in tgt-vvp/eval_bool.c was using %ix/load to
load immediate values into registers greater than three. The problem
was that of_IX_LOAD() in vvp/vthread.cc was masking off the upper
bits. This was putting the results in the wrong register. This patch
removes the bit masking from of_IX_LOAD() and updates the %ix/load
documentation.
This patch fixes two problems. The first is that thr_check_addr()
was being used inconsistently. It should be passed a real address,
but the resize of the vector should be at least one more than this
address. The extra and unneeded CPU_WORD_BITS was also removed
from the routine.
The second problem involved an invalid memory access in
vvp_vector4_t::set_vec() when the vector being copied was an integer
multiple of the machine word width. Under this condition there would
be no remaining bits that needed to be copied but the routine was always
trying to copying some remaining bits. This code is now only executed
when there is a remainder.
Neither of these appear to be causing runtime problems. The second one
was found with valgrind. The first were found while tracking down the
second problem.
This patch adds the power operator for unsigned bit based values
in a continuous assignment. It also refactors the power code for
normal expressions and continuous assignments.
This patch adds bit based power support to normal expressions.
It also pushes the constant unsigned bit based calculation to
the runtime until the bit based method can be copied to the
compiler. Continuous assignments also need to use this type
of calculation.
This patch adds a new opcode %load/avp0 that is used to load a
word from an array and add a value to it. %load/vp0 was
changed/fixed to do the summation at the result width not the
vector width. This allows small vectors to index large arrays with
an offset. A few errors in the opcodes.txt file were also fixed.
The %ix/getv instruction loads an integer register directly from
a signal vector. This is an optimization that an index register
is loaded from an expression is only a signal. It avoids the thread
vector space.
Where and expression is an immediate value added to a signal value,
it is possible to optimize them to a single instruction that combines
the load with an add at the same time.
When nets are forced by non-constant expressions, the value is linked
to the destination net through a force_link. This patch adds the code
needed to unlink a force/link so that release and new force/links can
work. This fixes pr1735836.

signed compare in proceedural code was comparing the absolute
value if both operands were negative. Wrong!

Real value are vector width of 1, fix real literal to reflect this.
fix leaking real registers in code generation for function arguments.
Load of signal should handle conversion from real to vector. Function
arguments, type vector passed a real value, are an example where this
comes up.

more general concept of arrays. The NetMemory and NetEMemory
classes are removed from the ivl core program, and the IVL_LPM_RAM
lpm type is removed from the ivl_target API.
