This was temporarily implemented to just copy definitions to the
local scope, but the better method is to create a PEIdent that has
the package attached to it.
In vvp, create the .var/str variable for representing strings, and
handle strings in the $display system task.
Add to vvp threads the concept of a stack of strings. This is going to
be how complex objects are to me handled in the future: forth-like
operation stacks. Also add the first two instructions to minimally get
strings to work.
In the parser, handle the variable declaration and make it available
to the ivl_target.h code generator. The vvp code generator can use this
information to generate the code for new vvp support.
An important advantage of program blocks is its ability to nest
within a module. This winds up also allowing modules to nest, which
is legal but presumably less used feature.
This patch extends the compiler to support all specparam declarations
allowed by the 1364-2005 standard. For compatibility with other
simulators, it allows specparam values to be used in any constant
expression, but outputs a warning message and disables run-time
annotation of a specparam if it is used in an expression that must
be evaluated at compile time.
This is a cleanup in preparation for better support of range lists.

Class methods belong in a class scope, not the containing module.
So create a lexical scope that carries tasks and functions and
create a PClass to represent classes.
This adds the vector_type_t and real_type_t types to handle
vector and real types in tf_port items. This cleans up a lot
of the parsing for these items.
During parse/pform processing, convert increment statements to
the equivalent compressed assignment statement. This is less weird
for elaboration processing and better expresses what is going on.
This gets me to the point where the parser stashes a defined type,
and the lexical analyzer uses the type names to differentiate
IDENTIFIER and TYPE_IDENTIFIER.
Parse typedefs with structs and enums, but give a sorry message,
because they are not yet supported. Rearrange some of the parse
rules for variables in order to increase comonality with the
typedef rules.
SystemVerilog has support for time literals. The time literal for
example #10ns, adds a delay of 10ns no matter the time unit currently
in effect. For more details please refer to

This patch fixes the following problem in the compiler:
An integer task argument should be marked as an integer port.
An implicit register can be converted to either a reg or an integer.
An old style task port should default to <no type> unless reg or some
other type is provided. ANSI style is always defined. For example:
input ri;
output ro;
inout rio;
real ri, ro, rio;
should define all three task ports to be of type real.
The pform propagates the parsed enum base type information
to the elaborator so that the base type can be fully elaborated.
This is necessary to get the types of the enumeration literals
correct.
I'm adding more uses of the make_range_from_width function, so
it seems like time to get rid of its use of the svector template.
This thread led to a lot of other uses of svector that had to
also be removed.
The functions (malloc, free, etc.) that used to be provided in
malloc.h are now provided in cstdlib for C++ files and stdlib.h for
C files. Since we require a C99 compliant compiler it makes sense
that malloc.h is no longer needed.
This patch also modifies all the C++ files to use the <c...>
version of the standard C header files (e.g. <cstdlib> vs
<stdlib.h>). Some of the files used the C++ version and others did
not. There are still a few other header changes that could be done,
but this takes care of much of it.
Generate schemes may nest freely, but generate regions
(an anachronistic concept from 1364-2001) cannot nest,
not within schemes or other regions. Have the parser detect
the nesting and print an error message.
When checking for name collisions, the compiler looks for genvar
declarations in the enclosing module rather than in the current
scope, which leads to false positives. The compiler also places
all genvar declarations in the enclosing module scope, even when
the declarations are inside a generate block which has its own
scope. This patch fixes both these faults. It also fixes some
typos and outdated information in comments.
