This patch enforces the use of the most specific accessors for operands
which have an '@astgen alias' declaration, by making the superclass
accessors of the same operands private. This ensures client code is
cleaner as you can't use multiple different methods to reference the
same operands (which we used to in some places). Also prep for some
refactoring.
V3Subst is currently the pass responsible for peak memory usage. This
patch saves ~16% of peak memory on OpenTitan.
2 changes:
- It is actually safe to delete the substituted expressions immediately,
but this is the lesser contribution
- More importantly, we only ever substitute STMTTEMP variables, which
are always defined within the same CFunc, so we can limit the scope of
the optimization to CFunc. This allows us to reclaim the SubstVarEntry
structures at the end of every CFunc, rather than at the end of the
whole pass, which gives us most of the memory savings.
Generated output is identical
Used to set the wrong public flag on forceEn/forceVal, which means they
were not included in ICO as necessary, but V3Gate tended to inline them,
so this was hard to hit.
Fixes#4577
This saves about 5% memory. V3AstUserAllocator is appropriate for most use
cases, performance is marginally up as we are mostly D-cache bound on
large designs.
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.
This patch adds some abstract enums to pass to the trace decl* APIs, so
the VCD/FST specific code can be kept in verilated_{vcd,fst}_*.cc, and
removed from V3Emit*. It also reworks the generation of the trace init
functions (those that call 'decl*' for the signals) such that the scope
hierarchy is traversed precisely once during initialization, which
simplifies the FST writer. This later change also has the side effect of
fixing tracing of nested interfaces when traced via an interface
reference - see the change in the expected t_interface_ref_trace - which
previously were missed.
Some values emitted to the trace files are constant (e.g.: actual
parameter values), and never change. Previously we used to trace these
in the 'full' dumps, which also included all other truly variable
signals. This patch introduces a new generated trace function 'const',
to complement the 'full' and 'chg' flavour, and 'const' now only
contains the constant signals, while 'full' and 'chg' contain only the
truly variable signals. The generate 'full' and 'chg' trace functions
now have exactly the same shape. Note that 'const' signals are still
traced using the 'full*' dump methods of the trace buffers, so there is
no need for a third flavour of those.
