This patch adds file and line number information to named events.
It also modifies the draw_eval_expr_wid() routine to fail with
an appropriate message for named events. This checking needs to
be pushed into the elaboration stage, but this will give a better
message than we had before.
It was documented that a IVL_LPM_CONCAT would use _size() instead
of _selects(). This patch adds the functionality to _size() and
converts all the Icarus provided code generators to use _size().
_select() will be kept for compatibility in V0.9.
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.
A while ago we changed how variable arrays were accessed. This change
did not get propagated to the non-blocking assignment for real array
words. This patch adds a warning that this is not currently supported.
We can add this to development, but not V0.9 (interface change).
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).
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.
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 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.
This patch adds real functionality for `celldefine and pushes this
property to the run time which can access this with vpiCellInstance.
This is technically only available for a module, but all scopes
have the property and only modules should return true when the
'endmodule' is between a `celldefine and `endcelldefine directive.
This patch fixes the code generator to correctly create three value
constant delays. It also fixes a bug in the compiler related to the
precalculation of the high-Z delay when only two delays are given.
Previously if was using a pointer not a value comparison to find
the minimum value.
Variable delays should work when one or three values are given.
For the two value case we need to do a comparison at run time and
that will require changing the compiler/run time interface so that
can only go into the V0.10 branch. This patch can be applied to
both development and V0.9. I have added a sorry message and an
assert for this case. I will add the variable two delay case at a
later time. We also do not support mixing constant and variable
delays on a single statement. That is a much bigger change and
can wait until someone asks for it.
The previous code looked for more than one array word to determine
if the given signal was an array or not. The problem with this is
that a single word memory was considered a signal. This is fixed
here by looking for an array_dimension to be greater than zero.
This is mostly a minor definition change in the parsing of literal
numbers by the vvp lexor. Allow for 64bit numbers in the .delay
records, and have the code generator also able to cope with the
situation.
Previously Icarus normalized the results so array [7:0] would
be the same as array [0:7]. This works just fine for
simulation, but the VPI calls can select the left or right
value and this was incorrect for the [7:0] case since it was
being normalized to [0:7]. This patch swaps the two values in
the a.out file and from this creates the previous first/last
values and a new flag that can be used to get the correct
left and right values for the VPI interface.
This patch adds support for 64 bit non-blocking delays in procedural
code. We fixed the procedural delay operator (blocking delays) earlier.
This patch mostly mimics what was done there. The continuous assignment
delay operator still needs to be fixed.
The newer mkinstalldirs can handle paths that have spaces in them.
While I'm at it, I also updated the Makefiles so that installation
can also work to DESTDIR directories that have spaces.
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.
By not creating Nexus objects until necessary, we avoid creating a
lot of spurious objects. In fact, it is true that almost every
link that is created and connected to another link will create a
spurious Nexus object without this patch.
Rather then spread VERSION= defines throughout all the makefiles, put
the base version in version_base.in. Use that to generate a version.h
that includes the base version as well as the detailed version.
This reverts commit 31d67fcd3e.
The concensus has been that this causes too many build problems in
the general case and what is needed instead is a way to turn on the
extra warnings for developers only.
Functions that appear in continuous assignment expressions and that
have hidden dependencies or side effects need to be re-evaluated
whenever any input to the expression changes. This patch adds support
in the compiler and vvp runtime to enable this. This is currently
activated for any system function call that has no arguments. The
user may also force it to be used for any user function by passing
the option -gstrict-ca-eval to the compiler driver.
This patch also removes the -dautomatic option which was used for
gaining confidence in the code that supports automatic tasks and
functions. It is believed that the testsuite provides reasonable
fault coverage, and further tests can be added if bugs are found.
The code base is almost shadow-free now, so this won't add much noise to the compiles.
Problems I know about:
lxt{,2}_write.c: patch sent upstream
cflexor.c: exposes gray area of name space boundary
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.
This patch cleans up the Makefile.in files.
We only need to delete config.log in the lower directories.
We reference the *.in files at $(srcdir)/
We need to make distclean for the tgt-(fpga,pal,verilog) directories.
This is to cleanup the Makefile.
Add some missing "rm -r f dep"
Collapse all the configure checks to a single configure script in
the root of the source tree. This makes the configure process run
a lot faster, expecially on Windows systems that are slower in general.
Remove the #ident and $Log$ strings from all the header files and
almost all of the C/C++ source files. I think it is better to get
this done all at once, then to wait for each of the files to be
touched and edited in unrelated patches.
The power operator is different in that it uses the signed version
if either of it's arguments are signed. This patch fixes the code
generator to do this correctly.
This patch makes the code generator put the compiler version
information in the vvp output file. It also adds checks in vvp
to verify that this version is compatible with the run time.
I am assuming that a base release 0.9.0, etc. will have a
blank VERSION_TAG. Any change relative to the release will have
a VERSION_TAG.
It is ot uncommon for the arguments to logical or to leave stuff
in bit registers 4-7. Allow the lor itself to take advantage of
that to save some %mov instructions.
When padding expressions, pre-allocate the target space and calculate
the sub-expression directly into the target. Then pad from there. This
saves a move into the result space.
This patch updates the GNU address in the -V output, adds the
VERSION_TAG info to the tgt-vvp back end and adds the whole -V
hook to the tgt-vhdl back end.
In a procedural single bit non-negated reduction (&, | or ^)
we need to translate a 1'bz to a 1'bx. The easiest way to do
that is with two %inv opcodes. This patch modifies the code
generator to do this for this very special case.
This configure option causes the installed commands to have
a suffix string that makes them distinct from other versions
that also have a suffix string. This allows for multiple
installed versions of Icarus Verilog.
Also, move installed C/C++ header files into a subdirectory of
their own under the target include directory, to make clearer
the purpose and source of those files.
In the vvp code generator, when zero/sign extending a sub-expression,
the sub-expression is first evaluated and stored in one location in
the thread vector store, then is copied and extended into a second
location. The storage used for the initial sub-expression evaluation
is never deallocated.
