What previously used to be per module static constants created in
V3Table and V3Prelim are now merged globally within the whole model and
emitted as part of a separate constant pool. Members of the constant
pool are global variables which are declared lazily when used (similar to
loose methods).
This patch introduces the concept of 'loose' methods, which semantically
are methods, but are declared as global functions, and are passed an
explicit 'self' pointer. This enables these methods to be declared
outside the class, only when they are needed, therefore removing the
header dependency. The bulk of the emitted model implementation now uses
loose methods.
astgen now generates ASTGEN_SUPER_* macros, instead of expanding the
ASTGEN_SUPER itself. This means that V3AstNodes.h itself can be included
in V3Ast.h, which helps IDEs (namely CLion) find definitions in
V3AstNodes.h a lot better. Albeit this is a little bit more boilerplate,
writing constructors of Ast nodes should be a lot rarer than trying to
find their definitions, so hopefully this is an improvement overall.
astgen will error if the developer calls the wrong superclass
constructor.
* Add tests for unpacked array in DPI-C
* Add more generic parameter generator to AstNodes
* Supports multi dimensional array in DPI ( DPI argmuments <=> Verilator internal type conversion)
consider typedef in V3Task
fix export test
fix inout for scalar
support export func of time
* V3Premit does not show an error for wide words nor ArraySel
* Unnecessary pack func for unapcked array does not appear anymore
* Support unpacked array in runtime header
- Add an overload for lvalue VL_CVT_PACK_STR_NN
- Allow conversion from void *
* touch up tests for codacy advices
* resolve free functions. no functional change intended.
