It is possible for the left operand of a left shift to be not known
early during elaborate expression. In that case, make a punt expression
and expect it to be resolved later.
GCC 4.3 has tightened up header dependencies so that
`strcmp' is no longer declared if <cstdlib> is included
(which it was in prior versions). This causes the changes
in 5e512e6570 to fail to
build with 4.3.
This patch includes <cstring> in the files that are failing.
The expr:::synthesize methods need not deal with saturating left or
right shifts if they are dealt with early, in elaborate_expr methods.
So the elaborate_expr for shift takes on much more responsibility.
Mostly this ensures that a recursive call to a function
is made with the correct types (this may involve generating
code to cast expressions to the correct type).
This patch pushes the automatic property for both tasks and
functions to the code generators. The vvp back end does not
currently support this so it will error out during code
generation. The VHDL back end should be able to use this
property and tgt-stub prints the property. Having this will
also make it easier when we do adding this to the runtime.
This patch adds the $clog2 system function. It also makes this
function work as a constant function. The runtime version still
needs to be updated to use an integer based version instead of
the current double based method. The double method suffers from
rounding errors.
This patch adds support for vpiScaledRealTime and vpiSuppressTime
to VPI callbacks. It also fixes a bug where the callback data
object was not being copied correctly and adds support for
vpiSuppressVal. This requires adding vpiSuppressVal to a few
other routines. It adds the ability for a callback to return
more than vpiScalarVal (all values supported by the
vpip_vec4_get_value() procedure). It also fixes a bug where
vpip_vec4_get_value() would incorrectly return vpiZ for a BIT4_X
scalar value. It also comments the potentially dangerous
vpiScalarVal calculation in the vvp_fun_signal::get_value()
procedure.
Since NetExpr::synthesize methods were rarely used, then had a lot
of bugs. Now that continuous assign uses these methods, these bugs
must be fixed.
Binary and Unary minus properly pad/extens its arguments,
Case compare generates correct code,
Divide properly takes on signed flag,
Signed right shift sign-extends its argument to prevent loss of sign bits
and uses the NetSignExtend instead of simple padding,
Use the correct target node for reduction NAND,
Properly handle constant arguments of NetESelect
Handle some exressions that were not handled before, include abs()
and POW.
In signed contextx, the right shift and unary minus expressions need
to be sign extended before they operate, otherwise there may be bad
results in the high bits in the greater context.
This patch causes a thread that is created to evaluate a function
to be executed immediately. The parent thread is resumed when the
function thread terminates.
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.
When the continuous assignment is signed, then sign-extend the r-value
in the few cases where the expression is stubbornly smaller then the
desired width.
When multiply is done in native words, the conversion to words from the
vp_vector4_t vectors must be done signed. This only matters if the
input operands are different sizes (and themselves signed) but will
not hurt even if we want an unsigned result.
Logical (in)equality needs to look at all the bits of both operands,
and cannot short circuit the test unless defined bits differ. If there
are undefined bits, the equality is undefined at that point, but return
x only if there are not other bits that make the results clearly
unequal.
When nets are assigned directly to a net, we need to create a driver
to carry the strength. Normally, the implied drive of a continuous
assignment is carried by whatever gate the r-value expression ends
with, but with simble net-to-net assignment, there is no net so we
need to install a BUFZ to carry the assignment.
This is caused by using a hierarchical reference (which can't
be translated to VHDL). The result of get_decl is NULL since
the signal has been declared in a different VHDL architecture.
Adding the assert is cleaner than having it segfault, for the
moment, until a nicer error message can be added.
