This gets the enumeration type through to the ivl_target API so
that code generators can do something with it. Generate stub
output with tgt-stub, and generate the proper vvp run time to
make simple enumerations work from end to end.
System tasks and functions can be defined to have NULL arguments.
This patch makes the @* sensitivity list calculation skip these
NULL (constant) arguments.
This patch covers more than it should. It removes many of the -Wextra
warnings in the main ivl directory. It also makes some minor code
improvements, adds support for constant logicals in eval_tree (&&/||),
adds support for correctly sign extending === and !==, it starts to
standardize the eval_tree debug messages and fixes a strength bug
in the target interface (found with -Wextra). The rest of the warnings
and eval_tree() rework will need to come as a second patch.
This patch adds two new warning classes that can be enabled or
disabled via the -W command line option. The first controls
whether a warning is generated if a part select within an
always @* statement causes the entire vector to be added to
the implicit sensitivity list. The second controls whether a
warning is generated if a word select within an always @*
statement causes the entire array to be added to the implicit
sensitivity list. The first class is not automatically enabled
by -Wall, the second class is.
An implicit sensitivity list that has selects (bit, part, indexed
part or array) will include more than the user expects so print a
warning to let them know what will happen. Other simulators have
the same behavior, but I believe this is incorrect and needs to
be fixed to only include the appropriate parts. The warnings can
go when we fix this functionality, but we need them now to warn
the user that they may not be getting what they expect. One other
simulator warns for array selects.
This patch also adds the array index to the sensitivity list.
Add code to check for a plain delay statement (just a delay).
When one is found generate a null statement and do not add it
(the null statement) to result.
Because Icarus tries to elaborate as much as it can even after
an error has occurred we need to check for these errors during
elaboration. This patch prevent an undefined identifier from
crashing the compiler.
Detect function call expressions that turn out to be calls to the
access function of a nature. Elaborate the access function and stub
the emit code. This gets the access function just short of the code
generator.
Rework the handling of file names to use a perm_string heap to hold
the file names, instead of the custom file name heap in the lexor.
Also rename the get_line to get_fileline to reflect its real duties.
This latter chage touched a lot of files.
@* was only expanding to input nets. nex_input() for blocks was removing
any output net that was also an input. There was also a bug in how output
nets were removed. Only outputs currently defined were removed from the
input list.
always @(*) begin
y = a;
z = y;
end
would report "a" as an input. While
always @(*) begin
z = y;
y = a;
end
would report both "a" and "y" as inputs.
To fix this all nex_inputs now take a flag that when true (the default)
correctly removes any output from the input list. Both the above cases
will now return "a". If the flag is false outputs which are also inputs
will be included in the input list. This is what the @* elaboration code
uses to get the correct sensitivity list.
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.
