* Fix broken support of unassigned virtual interfaces
Unassigned virtual interface support added by #6245 is broken - PR marks
dead module as alive - we can't do that as once a module is dead it
needs to remain dead because earlier steps (e.g. port resolution) have
already been skipped.
This commit handles unassigned virtual interfaces at the beginning of
first pass of LinkDot (so it is never marked as dead, and no linking
steps are getting skipped).
Fixes#6253.

The previous algorithm was designed to handle the general case where a
full control flow path predicate is required to select which value to
use when synthesizing control flow join point in an always block.
Here we add a better algorithm that tries to use the predicate of
the closest dominating branch if the branch paths dominate the joining
paths. This is almost universally true in synthesizable logic (RTLMeter
has no exceptions), however there are cases where this is not
applicable, for which we fall back on the previous generic algorithm.
Overall this significantly simplifies the synthesized Dfg graphs and
enables further optimization.
* 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
There were a couple corner case bugs in V3Inline, and one in Dfg when
dealing with inlining of modules/variables.
V3Inline:
- Invalid code generated when inlining an input that also had an
assignment to it (Throws an ASSIGNIN, but this is sometimes reasonable
to do, e.g. hiererchical reference to an unonnected input port)
- Inlining (aliasing) publicly writeable input port.
- Inlining forcable port connected to constant.
Dfg:
- Inining publicly writeable variables
The tests that cover these are the same and fixing one will trigger the
other bug, so fixing them all in one go. Also cleanup V3Inline to be less
out of order and rely less on unique APIs only used by V3Inine (will
remove those in follow up patch).
Small step towards #6280.
cppcheck provides best results when analysing the whole program. It also
has a builtin `-j` option to run on multiple threads.
Replace existing cppcheck-* targets with cppcheck-verilator,
cppcheck-runtime, cppcheck-example and cppcheck-vlc that checks each of
those components as a whole. Each of these runs on the maximum available
logical processors on the host by default, as reported by `nproc`, but
can be manually overridden with `make CPPCHECK_JOBS=<number>` instead.
The `make cppcheck` target runs the 4 cppcheck-* targets listed above
sequentially (but each of them uses the specified CPPCHECK_JOBS threads)
Rewrite with much less running around in the templates. Use private
methods only + friend functions that do the actual type check. This
avoids cppcheck warnings.
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
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.
Rewrote V3LifePost to not depend on having AstAssignPre and
AstAssignPost types, but work with generic AstNodeAssign. There is an
extra flag in AstVarScope to denote it's part of an NBA and should be
considered.
Step towards #6280.
