handle verilog syntax. Also: Added SPICE voltage and current
sources as separate classes (as opposed to being converted to
subcircuits, which was how they were previously handled). That
allowed voltage sources to be checked for zero value and removed
by shorting the ends together, as was being done for zero value
resistors (note that like zero-value resistors, removal is only
done if removing the component makes a better match than leaving
it in). In particular, yosys has SPICE netlist output that
converts equality assignments ("assign a = b") into zero-value
voltage sources, so these components need to be treated as
non-physical elements.
perfect). Given the complexities of the verilog language, the simple
strtok() tokenizer used by the SPICE parser is not sufficient. Wrote
a better tokenizer that can distinguish between whitespace and
functional tokens like parentheses, semicolons, etc., which are tokens
themselves but also token separators.
some problems stemming from comparing a case-sensitive netlist
against a case-insensitive one. Verilog netlist reading does
not yet have support for macros other than "`include", and it
does not yet have support for bit vectors constructed with
braces ({}).
as failing on certain compilers. This undoubtedly reflects some
change in gcc or the OS setup, but since modern compilers should
be able to figure out for themselves when to inline a subroutine
(or not), the inline hint is somewhat arcane and unnecessary.
