Remove implicit casts between vector and real in tgt-vvp. These are not
required since any implicit cast in the source will be converted to an
explicit cast in the elaboration stage.

This patch fixes some leaks in the object stack when getting various
class properties. With this fix an assert can be added to verify that
the object stack is clean when a thread is exiting.
This will hopefully improve performance slightly, but also this
intended as a model for what to do when I get around to doing the
same thing to other data types.
This involves working out the code to get the base type of a select
expression of a darray. Also added the runtime support for darrays
with real value elements.
Icarus uses 'i' in the net expressions for a cast to integer. Replacing
it with 'v' would free the character 'i' that can be used for increment
operators. This changes cast operators to become 'v', '2', and 'r'.

This patch modifies the real ternary operator code to support
unlimited tail recursion without overflowing the thread
registers. Head recursion is still limited by the available
registers.
It fixes the thread word checks to use a new define that has
the correct number of thread words (16). It adds a message
instead of just an assert if the thread words are exhausted.
And it also changes some of the error messages to use vvp.tgt
in the message to be consistent with the other messages.
A real delay must be scaled and rounded using the local precision
before it is finally scaled to the simulation time units. This
patch fixes the compiler to do this correctly or generate the
correct code for run time calculated delays. Delays in a CA
already worked correctly. The run time was also fixed to scale
modpath (SDF back annotation) delays correctly.
In combination with the patch to make all operations on thread words
operate on 64-bit values, this patch ensures casts between real values
and large vector values work correctly.
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.
For most cases just using the value of a parameter is fine, but
a vpi call can access more than the value so we want to use a
parameter reference instead of the value for vpi calls.
Strings were working correctly, integer values need some minor
code generator changes and real values needed to be pushed from
elaboration to the code generators. I also changed the default
real value comment from %g to %#g so that it is more obvious
that the value is a real value.
Continue cleaning up shadowed variables, flagged by turning on -Wshadow.
No intended change in functionality. Patch looks right, and is tested
to compile and run on my machine. No regressions in test suite.
This patch set covers C code, with the notable exception of
vpi/lxt_write{,2}.c.
Support arrays of realtime variable arrays and net arrays. This
involved a simple fix to the ivl core parser, proper support in
the code generator, and rework the runtime support in vvp.
Even on 64 bit machines immediate values should be limited to
32 bits so that the a.out file will run correctly on a 32 bit
machine. This patch fixes a number of places where the code
generator was not checking for/observing this.
Nothing to do with tab width! Eliminates useless
trailing spaces and tabs, and nearly all <space><tab>
pairings. No change to derived files (e.g., .vvp),
non-master files (e.g., lxt2_write.c) or the new tgt-vhdl
directory.
Low priority, simple entropy reduction. Please apply
unless it deletes some steganographic content you want
to keep.
Actually, the immediate value handling is a little chaotic and should
be cleaned up. This patch opens the door for allowing signed immediate
values, and uses them in a few places where they are explicitly handled.
We must go through the opcodes that can take immediate values and make
explicit whether they are signed/unsigned/etc, and what their size
limits are.
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.
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.
When generating a real expression you can have bits of the
expression that use vector only operands. When this happens
evaluate that part of the expression as a vector and then
convert it to a real value.
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).
