Combined Dfg variable elimination into the regularization pass that runs
before converting back to Ast. This avoids introducing some unnecessary
temporaries.
Added replacing of variables with constants in the Ast if after the
Dfg passes they are known to be constants. This is only done in final
scoped Dfg application.
Avoid introducing temporaries for common sub-expressions that are
cheaper to re-compute than store in a temporary variable.
Enable removal of redundant unpacked array variables.
Also fixes#6394 as this patch involved changes to that code.
Do not apply V3Const in V3Expand after a function if nothing was
expanded in it.
Also fix statistics counter while at it.
Inspired by #6379, follow up from #6111
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.
Parts of this algorithm were distributed over many files some
masquerading as re-usable APIs, they were not. Move everything into one
file and avoid unnecessary virtual functions.
- Remove _ENUM_END, so -Wswitch does not demand it's covered. Use the
new NUM_TYPES constexpr member instead.
- Remove 'at' prefix. This seems historical and is not particularly useful.
- Fix some cppcheck warts while at it
Add DfgUserMap as a handle around the one pointer worth of algorithm
specific 'user' storage in each DfgVertex. This reduces verbosity,
improves type safety and correctness. Also enables us to remove one
pointer from DfgVertex to reduce memory use. No functional change.
Large scale refactoring to simplify some of the more obtuse internals of
DFG. Remove multiple redundant internal APIs, simplify representation of
variables, fix potential unsoundness in circular decomposition. No
functional change intended.
