* Skip profiling tests on non-glibc platforms
* Enforce dumb terminal in tests
* Include POSIX headers whenever __unix__ macro is defined
* Treat no procfs as normal condition
* Respect MAKE variable when running make
Added cppcheck-suppressions.txt in the repo root. You can add new
patterns in there instead of having to parse the XML output.
Also configure to add the -D__GNUC__ preprocessor macro, which makes it
understand UASSERT (it understands the 'noreturn' function attribute).
Added some case by case specific suppressions and fixed up other code,
especially in V3Ast*h and V3Dfg*.h, including code generated by astgen
that had some no-ops that irks cppcheck.
One thing it does not seem to like is `const` class members with default
initializers in the class. It will assume that's always the value, even
if overridden in the constructor. We had few so removed them.
With that a lot of files in `src/` are now clean or only have a handful
of issues. Therefore, I have also deleted cppcheck_filtered, and made it
produce human readable output straight to the terminal.
Regarding cleaning up the reported nits, I kind of got bored after
V3[A-E] so pausing here. Apologies for the merge conflicts.
Tested with cppcheck 2.13.0
Somewhat commonly, there is code out there that compares an expression (or
variable) against many different constants, e.g. a one-hot decoder:
```systemverilog
assign oneHot = {x == 3, x == 2, x == 1, x == 0};
```
If the width of the expression is sufficiently large, this can blow up
a GCC pass and take an egregious amount of memory and time to compile.
Adding a new DFG pass that will generate a cheap one-hot decoder:
to compute:
```systemverilog
wire [$bits(x)-1:0] idx = <the expression being compared many times>
reg tab [1<<$bits(x)] = '{default: 0};
reg [$bits(x)-1:0] pre = '0;
always_comb begin
tab[pre] = 0;
tab[idx] = 1;
pre = idx ; // This assignment marked to avoid a false UNOPFTLAT
end
```
We then replace the comparisons `x == CONST` with `tab[CONST]`.
This is generally performance neutral, but avoids the compile time and memory
blowup with GCC (128GB+ -> 1GB in one example).
We do not apply this if the comparisons seem to be part of a `COMPARE ?
val : COND` conditional tree, which the C++ compilers can turn into jump
tables.
This enables all XiangShan configurations from RTLMeter to now build with GCC,
so in this patch we enabled those in the nightly runs.
