Using the 'forceable' directive in a configuration file, or the /*
verilator forceable */ metacomment on a variable declaration will
generate additional public signals that allow the specified signals to
be forced/released from the C++ code.
- Add more tests, including for tracing.
- Apply some cleaner, more generic abstractions in the implementation.
- Use clearer AstRelease which is not an assignment.
* Tests: Add t_hier_block_sc_trace(fst|vcd) that tests tracing hierarchical block on SystemC.
* Add a check that elaboration is done before a trace file is opened.
* Add a check that elaboration is done before trace() is called to verilated SystemC model.
* Tests: call sc_core::sc_start(sc_core::SC_ZERO_TIME) before opening a trace file
* Tests: Fix t_trace_two_sc to call sc_start before opening trace
* Use vl_fatal as suggested in PR review.
Trace initialization (tracep->decl* functions) used to explicitly pass
the complete hierarchical names of signals as string constants. This
contains a lot of redundancy (path prefixes), does not scale well with
large designs and resulted in .rodata sections (the string constants) in
ELF executables being extremely large.
This patch changes the API of trace initialization that allows pushing
and popping name prefixes as we walk the hierarchy tree, which are
prepended to declared signal names at run-time during trace
initialization. This in turn allows us to emit repeat path/name
components only once, effectively removing all duplicate path prefixes.
On SweRV EH1 this reduces the .rodata section in a --trace build by 94%.
Additionally, trace declarations are now emitted in lexical order by
hierarchical signal names, and the top level trace initialization
function respects --output-split-ctrace.
* Add a test to reproduce #3197
* Fix#3197. Optimize correctly even if a variable is >32
* Quick exit instead of continue. No functional change is intended.
* Delete comment-out line.
* update per review comment
IEEE 1800-2017 6.11.3 says these types are unsigned. Until now these
types were treated as not having a signedness (NOSIGN), and nodes having
these types were later resolved by V3Width to be unsigned. This is a bit
problematic when creating nodes of these types after V3Width. Treating
these types as unsigned from the get go is fine, and actually improves
generated code slightly.
* Add a test to reproduce bug3182. Run the same HDL with -Oo to confirm the result is same.
* Hopefully fix#3182. The result can be 0 only when polarity is true (no AstNot is found during traversal).
* add tests to reproduce #3177.
Any random test circuits can be added to t_split_var_4.v later because it uses CRC to check the result while
t_split_var_0.v has just barrel shifters.
* Fix#3177. Don't merge assign statements if a variable is marked split_var.
- Merge AstNodeIf nodes as well (not just assignment from AstCond)
- Merge merged results recursively (optimizes nested conditionals/ifs)
- Only checking mergeability once per node.
- Don't add redundant masking
- Duplicate cheap statements in both branches, if doing so yields a
larger merge
- Include reduced nodes before the starting conditional in the merge
- Remove redundant casting
- Cheaper final XOR parity flip (~/^1 instead of != 0)
- Support XOR reduction of ~XOR nodes
- Don't add redundant masking of terms
- Support unmasked terms
- Add cheaper implementation for single bit only terms
- Ensure result is clean under all circumstances (this fixes current bugs)
Verilator should now correctly re-evaluate any logic that depends on
state set in a DPI exported function, including if the DPI export is
called outside eval, or if the DPI export is called from a DPI import.
Whenever the design contains a DPI exported function that sets a
non-local variable, we create a global __Vdpi_export_trigger flag, that
is set in the body of the DPI export, and make all variables set in any
DPI exported functions dependent on this flag (this ensures correct
ordering and change detection on state set in DPI exports when needed).
The DPI export trigger flag is cleared at the end of eval, which ensured
calls to DPI exports outside of eval are detected. Additionally the
ordering is modifies to assume that any call to a 'context' DPI import
might call DPI exports by adding an edge to the ordering graph from the
logic vertex containing the call to the DPI import to the DPI export
trigger variable vertex (note the standard does not allow calls to DPI
exports from DPI imports that were not imported with 'context', so we
do not enforce ordering on those).
- Use C++11 initialization syntax
- Use C++11 for loops
- Add const
- Factor out repeated _->fileline() sub-expressions
- Factor out issuing warning message
No functional change.
* EmitXml: Added <ccall>, <constpool>, <initarray>/<inititem>, wrapped children of <if> and <while> with <begin> elements to prevent ambiguity
* EmitXml: added signed="true" to signed basicdtypes
All parameters that are required in the output are now emitted as
'static constexpr, except for string or array of strings parameters,
which are still emitted as 'static const' (required as std::string is
not a literal type, so cannot be constexpr). This simplifies handling
of parameters and supports 'real' parameters.
This patch partitions AstCFuncs under an AstNodeModule based on which
header files they require for their implementation, and emits them
into separate files based on the distinct dependency sets. This helps
with incremental recompilation of the output C++.
A separate V3VariableOrder pass is now used to order module variables
before Emit. All variables are now ordered together, without
consideration for whether they are ports, signals form the design, or
additional internal variables added by Verilator (which used to be
ordered and emitted as separate groups in Emit). For single threaded
models, this is performance neutral. For multi-threaded models, the
MTask affinity based sorting was slightly modified, so variables with no
MTask affinity are emitted last, otherwise the MTask affinity sets are
sorted using the TSP sorter as before, but again, ports, signals, and
internal variables are not differentiated. This yields a 2%+ speedup for
the multithreaded model on OpenTitan.
The -G option now correctly parses simple integer literals as signed
numbers, which is in line with the standard and is significant when
overriding parameters without a type specifier.
