This provides the ivl_target.h interface for class definitions
and expressions, the vvp code generator support for class objects
and properties, and the vvp run time support. Trivial class objects
now seem to work.
Add properties to the classes, and elaborate expressions that
have class properties. Describe class object property references
all the way down to the stub target.
Strings, when put into dynamic arrays, are treated as first class
types much line reals. Add the code generator and vvp support for
this situation. Also fix a bug distinguishing between character
selects from strings and select form arrays of strings.
This involves working out the code to get the base type of a select
expression of a darray. Also added the runtime support for darrays
with real value elements.
When string[x] is an l-value, generate code to implement something
like the string.putc(x, ...) method.
Also handle when string[x] is the argument of a system task. In that
case resort to treating it as a calculated 8-bit vector, because that
is what it is.
In vvp, create the .var/str variable for representing strings, and
handle strings in the $display system task.
Add to vvp threads the concept of a stack of strings. This is going to
be how complex objects are to me handled in the future: forth-like
operation stacks. Also add the first two instructions to minimally get
strings to work.
In the parser, handle the variable declaration and make it available
to the ivl_target.h code generator. The vvp code generator can use this
information to generate the code for new vvp support.
Add a new IVL_PR_FINAL process type.
Add a flag to NetScope in_final_ which is set when elaborating the
statement of a final procedure.
Add checks during statement elaboration for invalid statements in a
final procedure, similar to checks for statements in functions.
Do a final check to make sure no final blocks have delays.
In the vvp runtime, use "$final" as the flag for the thread created by
the final procedure. During compilation, instead of adding such a
thread to the sched_list, add it to a new schedule_final_list that
mirrors the schedule_init_list, but is run at the end of simulation.
This patch adds/fixes the following:
Adds file/line information to a UDP definition.
Prints an error message if a UDP is passed signals wider than 1 bit.
A UDP should supports a range, but the compiler currently does not.
Add scope information for constants.
Fix the Icarus extension UDP table entry element 'h' to use h.
The ivl_udp_init() value is a char not unsigned.
Add FILE_NAME() for a bunch more of the ivl interface objects.
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.
In ivl_alloc.h we redefine malloc(), realloc() and calloc() to have
standard error checking. We don't want to do this for anything that
comes from the standard headers. This specifically doesn't work if
a C++ header files does std::malloc, etc.
Also change to -W instead of -Wextra since that is more portable. I
plan to add a check from -Wextra and use it when available since it
is more descriptive.
This patch adds support for running cppcheck from the Makefile. It also
standardizes the order of some of the targets. It renames vpip_format.c
to vpip_format.cc and fixes the size of the array tables to make room
for the trailing NULL. Found when using a C++ compiler.
This patch adds a check in the vvp back end that a uwire has
at most one driver. Previously this was just converted (with
a warning message) to a wire just after elaboration.
Elaborate conditional assignments with BUFZ devices that do *NOT*
preserve strengths. Add a BUFT (transparent) device that can be
used in those cases where I really need a transparent buffer.
gcc on OpenBSD reported shadow warnings for variables, arguments named
log, time and exp. This patch renanes those variables to logic, timerec
and expr.
This patch updates all the Makefile.in files and configure.in
as follows:
Do not use the -Wall warning flag when using the SunPro compiler.
The SunPro compiler uses -xMD instead of -MD.
There are still more fixes needed before Icarus will compile
on OpenSolaris.
Try to put all the version stamps into common version_base.h
and version_stamp.h header files. All the source programs then
get their version from these header files.
Also handle the version stamps in the man pages by using the
version_*.h header file contents to edit the version strings
in the man page title bar markers.
Use the time stamp file technique recommended by the autoconf manual
to prevent unneccesary rebuilds because of an unchanged config.h.
Uses the automake trick of generating the stamp files in the
_AC_AM_CONFIG_HEADER_HOOK macro instead of littering the source
directory with stamp-h.in files.
Add an extra ./config.status run after ./config.status --recheck
because with --recheck it doesn't actually try to remake the generated
files (and thus doesn't make the timestamp files). Thus without the
extra run, each stamp-*-h target would need to independently run
./config.status to make sure it wasn't changed by the configuration
change.
An orthogonal fix of how config.status is called in subdirectories.
When in a subdirectory and config.status is called with
../config.status and $(srcdir) is a relative path, config.status gets
confused. Fixed by replacing '../config.status --file=Makefile.in'
with 'cd ..; ./config.status --file=<dir>/Makefile.in'
Control inputs (i.e. the control input to tranif switches)
are not driven in any way by the island, so use .import records
instead of .port records to bring them into the island. Properly
handle the now potentially different bindings within the island
and outside the island. This means the draw_net_input_x function
is a little more sophisticated, and the node data more complex.
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.
