1. Move class V3ParseGrammar into V3ParseGrammar.h so editors understand
it as c++ code
2. Fix #line directives in the bison output file
This together enables us to gdb through V3ParseGrammar, verilog.y, and
the bison generated C code step by step, with all source annotations in
the debug info pointing to the right place (e.g.: you will step to the
right place in verilog.y, then step back to the bison generated switch
statement/loop, and then step into calls in V3ParseGrammar as kind of
expected.
These are all genuine bugs, brief descriptions.
1. V3OrderCFuncEmitter.h used to delete a node early that was still
reference in a graph dump later. Not a big deal, it can be deleted
later at the end of V3Order.
2. V3Param.cpp: this one is tricky. The variable referenced by
AstVarXRef was deleted at the end of `visit(AstGenCase*)`, but then
`visit(AstVarXRef*)` checks `nodep->varp()` (already deleted) to see
if it's in an interface.
3. V3String::wildMatch is sometimes called with an empty 's' (the string
we are matching against tha pattern 'p'), in which case it used to go
off into the woods. Added check on call. An arbitrary number of `*`
will still match the empty string.
4. V3Task.cpp: There was an error reported for an unsupported construct,
then a subsequent SEGV. Just signal the error upward so we bail on an
error in a more graceful way.
5. verylog.y: Some unsupported constructs failed to set the parsed node,
so some memory thrash made it into some code downstream. Just parse
these into nullptr.
Also increased the timeout on one test, which sometimes tripped with
asan on GCC during heavy host load.
Added a mini type system for Dfg using DfgDataType to replace Dfg's use
of AstNodeDType. This is much more restricted and represents only the
types Dfg can handle in a canonical form. This will be needed when
adding more support for unpacked arrays and maybe unpacked structs one
day.
Also added an internal type checker for DfgGraphs which encodes all the
assumptions the code makes about type relationships in the graph. Run
this in a few places with --debug-check. Fix resulting fallout.
Reduce set of synthesized logic to be more in-line with what Dfg used to
handle before + drivers of circular variables. This was always the
intention but the previous algorithm was both a bit too eager, and also
missed some circular variables. We can add back more heuristics based on
performance measurements for non-circular logic later.
