Internals: Refactor generate construct Ast handling (#6280)
We introduce AstNodeGen, the common base class of AstGenBlock,
AstGenCase, AstGenFor, and AstGenIf, which together represent all SV
generate constructs. Subsequently remove AstNodeFor, AstNodeCase
(AstCase is now directly derived from AstNodeStmt) and adjust internals
to work on the new representation.
Output is identical modulo hashes do to changed AstNode type ids, no
functional change intended.
Step towards #6280.
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
The typical find/if-not-exists-insert pattern can be achieved with 1
lookup instead of 2 using emplace with a sentinel value. Also maps value
initialize their values when inserted with the [] operator, this is
defined and so there is no need to explicitly insert zeroes for integer
values.
- Rename `--dump-treei` option to `--dumpi-tree`, which itself is now a
special case of `--dumpi-<tag>` where tag can be a magic word, or a
filename
- Control dumping via static `dump*()` functions, analogous to `debug()`
- Make dumping independent of the value of `debug()` (so dumping always
works even without the debug flag)
- Add separate `--dumpi-graph` for dumping V3Graphs, which is again a
special case of `--dumpi-<tag>`
- Alias `--dump-<tag>` to `--dumpi-<tag> 3` as before
Introduce the @astgen directives parsed by astgen, currently used for
the generation child node (operand) accessors. Please see the updated
internal documentation for details.
Generate type specific static overloads of Ast<Node>::addNext, which
return the correct sub-type of the 'this' they were invoked on.
Also remove AstNode::addNextNull, which is now only used in the parser,
implement in verilog.y directly as a template function.
