Within generate schemes it is possible to have nested scopes, even
more liberally then outside generate blocks. So see to it that the
scopes properly stack with the generate blocks, and that wires and
behaviors are put in the right scopes.
Generating task/function definitions involves getting the functions
to put themselves into the generate scheme instead of the module,
and getting elaboration to elaborate those definitions in the
generate scheme.
Verilog-2001 only allows a single generate item within a generate-
endgenerate region, but allowed one to collect generate schemes with
begin/end blocks. Verilog-2005 cleaned up that mess, and it is the
2005 syntax that Icarus Verilog implements. This patch detects the
anachronistic use of begin/end within the generate region, ignores
the begin/end words, and prints a warning that the user is using an
obsolete syntax.
Named begin/end blocks burried within generate schemes need to be
elaborated. Handle this by remembering to elaborate_scope on the
statements within the generate scheme.
In the process, clean up/regularize some of the member names and
methods.
This handles the general case of a non-real operand to a real-valued
division. This can turn up if only 1 operand of a divide is real. In
this case the division as a whole is real and the other operand must
be cast to real.
This method creates an extra node, but it should be a very compact
node and this node does no evaluation tricks so in the run time should
be no more expensive then folding the cast into the .arith/div.r itself.
This patch adds checks that $fopen is only called with a valid
mode argument. It also checks that the file name for $fopen{a,r,w}?
is a valid looking file name (all characters satisfy isprint()).
The later should prevent creating weird file names because of
Verilog bugs.
This patch changes the base oct to string converter to correctly
pad the top digit. x or xx should display as a single lower case
x when they are located in the top bits. Before these were being
interpreted as 00x or 0xx and displayed X. Also modified the hex
conversion to use this same scheme instead of a loop.
First, handle the trivial (but possibly common) resolution cases in
inlined code, and only call the complete function for the complicated
cases. Then clean up the complex function for readability, and account
for the constraints that the front-end function established.
Arrays of vvp_vector4_t values redundantly store some fields in every
word. Create a special type that stores vvp_vector4_t values in a form
that does not duplicate the width of all the items. This can save a lot
of space when big memories are simulated.
The schedule_assign_plucked_vector is a better way to implement the
schedule_assign_vector, or at least no worse, so remove the now
redundent schedule_assign_vector.
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 is a major rework on the sys_fileio routines. They now have
improved compiletf routines and the calltf routines are now
standardized. Along the way a few bug were fixed as well. Some
updates to other vpi files as well.
I changed the order of the $fputc() arguments to match C and the
rest of the system functions like it ($fungetc, etc.). I recently
fixed $fungetc() so I'm assuming the $fputc() needs the same fix.
It's an Icarus specific function.
The load-and-add for vectors %load/vp0/s can be combined with the
load-and-add for array words, and the %load/avp0/s added to round
out the combinations. This can make for fewer instructions when
words are padded in arithmetic expressions.
The load-and-add for vectors %load/vp0/s can be combined with the
load-and-add for array words, and the %load/avp0/s added to round
out the combinations. This can make for fewer instructions when
words are padded in arithmetic expressions.
The functor_ref_lookup() function fills its argument in with the
vvp_net_t* pointer that matches the var name, so there is no need
to create the vvp_net_t object before then.
The vpiIndex is really just a different view into the same object,
so implement the trickery needed to support a vpiIndex with the
absolute minimum memory cost.
The %load/vp0 instruction adds a signed value to the signal value being
loaded, but it doesn't allow for a signed source vector. Add the
%load/vp0/s instruction that pads the loaded vector, and add the code
generator details to properly use it.
