This patch evaluates the whole concatenation expression and
makes the concatenation padding sign aware. This is needed
when $signed({...}) is passed as an argument.
A repetition is just N copies of the base expression not N
evaluations of the base expression. This is only a problem
when functions have side effects. It's also faster to copy.
The evaluation must also be done when the replication count
is zero (see 1364-2005).
THE VVP TARGET SYMBOL NAME CONVENTIONS There are some naming conventions that the vp target uses for generating symbol names. * wires and regs Nets and variables are named V_<full-name> where <full-name> is the full hierarchical name of the signal. * Logic devices Logic devices (and, or, buf, bufz, etc.) are named L_<full_name>. In this case the symbol is attached to a functor that is the output of the logic device. GENERAL FUNCTOR WEB STRUCTURE The net of gates, signals and resolvers is formed from the input design. The basic structure is wrapped around the nexus, which is represented by the ivl_nexus_t. Each nexus represents a resolved value. The input of the nexus is fed by a single driver. If the nexus in the design has multiple drivers, the drivers are first fed into a resolver (or a tree of resolvers) to form a single output that is the nexus. The nexus, then, feeds its output to the inputs of other gates, or to the .net objects in the design.
