This patch adds compiletf routines for the $sscanf/$fscanf
functions. It does not enhance the conversion routines it
only adds better error/warning messages.
It also removed the redundant IS_MCD in some of the fileio
calltf routines. This is already checked in vpi_get_file().
I also added the vpiNetArray type to allow us to distinguish
arrays of nets from other arrays (memories). Much more is
needed here, but this solved the problem of the day. The
problem was that we needed to make sure we could assign to
the word of a variable array, but not the word of a net array.
It's actually probably not needed since Icarus converts the
net array word reference to just the net, but I thought it
prudent to make sure things didn't slip by.
This patch adds compiletf routines for the mti random functions
and adds a common routine to check for extra arguments. It also
adds file and line information to the rest of the compiletf
routines that were missing them.
This completes the transition to the new string based formatting.
All the tasks now use the string formatting routines. Better
compile time checking and better messages were also added.
Also a couple of types were added to vpi_get_str(vpiType, ...)
and the calculation for vpiConstantSelect was fixed for both
the &A<> and &PV<> constructs. If the value is a plain variable
or if it is calculated in thread space we assume it is not a
constant. This may not be true because of limitations/bugs in
the compiler (constant user functions are one known problem).
This patch modifies $strobe and $fstrobe to use the string
formatting routines. It also combines the $display/$write
and $fdisplay/$fwrite routines into one and removes the
old routines that are no longer needed.
This patch fixes a bunch of memory leaks in vvp and converts the
T_STRING lexical token to be new based. There are still two
known leaks that I need to find a way to fix and likely some
unknown leaks that still need to be found and fixed.
This patch makes the $fdisplay() and $fwrite() family of task
use the string formatting code. It also adds a compiletf routine
for the tasks and a run time check that the FD or MCD is correct.
If not it fails instead of just dropping the output.
It also cleans up a couple of memory leaks and adds no argument
compiletf routines for the $monitoron/$monitoroff tasks.
This patch fixes some technically benign problems found by valgrind,
but we may as well give the values a default to make sure things
work correctly. I believe that the default I choose is the
appropriate value for the context.
The other problem is that real valued (local)parameters should be
printed as a real value like a real variable, etc. Trying to
do this as a decimal with the string formatting was causing a
memory problem. I could have fixed the routine to handle this,
but the better solution was to just display things the right way.
This patch does a number of things.
It adds file and line number information to the strobe_cb_info
structure. This allows the $swrite and $sformat calls to reference
their location in warning/error messages.
Their compiletf and calltf routines also display file and line
number information in messages.
The $display routine was converted to use the string formatting
routine. This can be reverted by defining USE_OLD_DISPLAY. The
old code will be removed once there has been more testing.
A number of bugs were fixed that were discovered with the
$display code.
The output of some conversions, variables and system functions
were changed to match the original display code or to better
match expectation.
Leading zero support was added to the %b/%b, %o/%O, %h/%H, %x/%X,
%c/%C and %d/%D. The floating point conversions already supported
adding a leading zero.
This is the start of converting all the various display tasks to use
the string formatting code and a cleanup/update of the sys_display.c
file in general.
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 moves the checks for automatic variables being passed to
the $monitor or $strobe system tasks from the calltf routine to a
new compiletf routine. It also adds the file name and line number
of an offending call to the error message.
This patch adds a number of compile and run-time checks for illegal
uses of variables declared in automatic tasks and functions. It
also adds a check for event expressions in automatic tasks that use
features not yet supported in VVP.
The __vpiPV objects express themselves as vpiPartSelect objects.
Add support for value change callbacks by attaching the callback
to the signal that we part select from.
This patch cleans up the dump routines and adds file and
line number information for errors. It also adds some of
the missing MemoryWord properties so they can now be
dumped and monitored correctly.
This patch adds $simparam and $simparam$str from Verilog-A.
The analog simulator parameters return 0.0 or N/A. The
vvp_cpu_wordsize system function has been moved into the
$simparam call and is now named CPUWordSize.
This patch also starts the factoring of common code in the
vpi directory. Some routines were renamed.
The priv.c file was renamed to sys_priv.c to match the
include file.
System functions can now have strings put to their output.
Functions like $monitor need to attach callbacks to array words if
those words are to be monitored. Have the array hold all the callbacks
for words in the array, under the assumption that the monitored words
are sparse.
When printing the strength information for a multi bit net this patch
adds an underscore between the individual bit strength values. This
makes it easier to see the individual bit values.
Fallout from me trying to understand the origin of pr1780480
and pr1830834. Too bad I don't understand c++ and vvp as
well as I understand English!
(Spelling and grammer fixes in comments. -ed.)
This patch adds ivl_scope_time_precision() to the compiler which can
be used to extract the local scope precision. tgt-stub and tgt-vvp
have been modified to use this new function and output a value that
is appropriate. The vvp runtime has been altered to use this new
data which is accessed with the vpip_time_precision_from_handle()
function. vpiTimePrecision uses this function to return the correct
precision.
This patch implements the swrite* and sformat system tasks. It also
makes $simtime distinguishable from the other integer time tasks.
This was needed to get the correct time units when $simtime was given
as an argument to $swrite*. The string constant code was also modified
to allow a string to be returned as a vector (0/1 bit pattern).
Here are some more specifics about the swrite* changes.
1. They do not share formatting code with the other display functions,
so they may/will produce different results.
2. All %{alpha} codes allow a width and justification. Others have been
enhanced (%t allows the default width and precision to be overridden,
time functions print with time formatting, better error checking and
messages, etc.).
3. %u and %z formatting codes have been added. It is important to note
that these two formats can produce embedded NULLs, since these
functions are returning a string anything after the first NULL will
not be reachable! memcpy is used instead of regular string processing
where needed so that the original string will contain the total
result. The size returned when the string is created is the true
length. A warning will be printed if a string with embedded NULLs is
produced (strlen() does not match the true length).
4. Real numbers are printed with %g instead of %f.
Once this new formatting code has been evaluated we should incorporate
the changes/fixes into the formatting code for the other functions or
the other functions could be modified to use this new code. The true
string length is available so we should be able to work around the
embedded NULL problem.
Even though vpiFinish does not currently do anything with it's
argument I thought it would be best to have them all be in the
correct range [0, 1, 2], so they have been updated as appropriate.
Backslash-escapes are processed early, during elaboration, so that
escaped characters show up in all places with the calculated value.
This means the $display formatting will get processed strings and
should not process back-slashes again.

as well as a user specified log file, set log
file to buffer lines.
Add vpi_flush function, and clear up some cunfused
return codes from other vpi functions.
Adjust $display and vcd/lxt messages to use the
standard output/log file.
