Parameter value ranges support the exclude of a point as well as
range, so add the syntax to support that case. Internally it is
handled as a degenerate range, but the parse and initial elaboration
need to know about it.
If a memory word was accessed before it was defined the
code was returning a zero width vector result. Now it
returns an appropriately sized vector of 'x'.
The memory opcodes %assign/mv, %load/mv and %set/mv
were removed by a previous patch. This one removes
the documentation from opcodes.txt. It also removes
the documentation for the .mem* statements for the
same reason.
Recursive branch resolution was scanning every branch end, even though
many branch ends share ports and need not be repeatedly scanned. Handle
marks and flags to cut off recursion where it is not needed so as to
save much run time.
Conflicts:
tgt-vvp/vvp_scope.c
Note that the draw_net_input.c takes in a lot of the codes that used
to be in vvp_scope.c, so some changes may have been lost.
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.
Rather then join islands while branches are initially created, save the
island creating for the end. This way, the process is actually recursive
and greedy, reliably collecting branches into islands without conflict.
Fold the bi-directional part select into the pass switch (tran) support
so that it can be really bi-directional. This involves adding a new
tranvp device that does part select in tran islands, and reworking the
tran island resolution to handle non-identical nodes. This will be needed
for resistive tran devices anyhow.
The draw_net_input function is modified to account for nexus that is
a port of an island. Draw the ports (and the islands if necessary)
to the island and use the port output for the nexus instead of the
port input. This allows the bi-directional behavior of the port to
interpose itself in the data flow.
In this process of these changes, the draw_net_input function was
reorganized, and all the considerable amount of code for it was
moved to a file of its own. (vvp_scope.c is pretty unruly.)
NetTran devices must be collected into islands because they are all
a bi-directional mass. This is how vvp will process them and the code
generator will need a head start organizing them.
