- Delete 'finalsp'. It was used in one place, basically unnecessary and
safe to remove.
- Make 'argsp' a 'List[AstVar]'. This held before. It holds the function
argument and return variables.
- Replace 'intitsp' with 'varsp' and make it into 'List[AstVar]' to hold
the function local variables. This was most of its use before. The few
places we inserted statements here now moved into 'stmtsp' by
inserting at the front of the list.
Remove the large variety of ways raw "text" is represented in the Ast.
Particularly, the only thing that represents a string to be emitted in
the output is AstText.
There are 5 AstNodes that can contain AstText, and V3Emit will throw an
error if an AstText is encountered anywhere else:
- AstCStmt: Internally generated procedural statements involving raw
text.
- AstCStmtUser: This is the old AstUCStmt, renamed so it sorts next to
AstCStmt, as it's largely equivalent. We should never create this
internally unless used to represent user input. It is used for $c,
statements in the input, and for some 'systemc_* blocks.
- AstCExpr: Internally generaged expression involving raw text.
- AstCExprUser: This is the old AstUCFunc, renamed so it sorts next to
AstCExpr. It is largely equivalent, but also has more optimizations
disabled. This should never be created internally, it is only used for
$c expressions in the input.
- AstTextBlock: Use by V3ProtectLib only, to generate the hierarchical
wrappers.
Text "tracking" for indentation is always on for AstCStmt, AstCExpr, and
AstTextBlock, as these are always generated by us, and should always be
well formed.
Tracking is always off for AstCStmtUser and AstCExprUser, as these
contain arbitrary user input that might not be safe to parse for
indentation.
Remove subsequently redundant AstNodeSimpleText and AstNodeText types.
This patch also fixes incorrect indentation in emitted waveform tracing
functions, and makes the output more readable for hier block SV stubs.
With that, all raw text nodes are handled as a proper AstNodeStmt or
AstNodeExpr as required for #6280.
This patch implements #6480. All loop statements are represented using
AstLoop and AstLoopTest.
This necessitates rework of the loop unroller to handle loops of
arbitrary form. To enable this, I have split the old unroller used for
'generate for' statements and moved it into V3Param, and subsequently
rewrote V3Unroll to handle the new representation. V3Unroll can now
unroll more complex loops, including with loop conditions containing
multiple variable references or inlined functions.
Handling the more generic code also requires some restrictions. If a
loop contains any of the following, it cannot be unrolled:
- A timing control that might suspend the loop
- A non-inlined call to a non-pure function
These constructs can change the values of variables in the loop, so are
generally not safe to unroll if they are present. (We could still unroll
if all the variables needed for unrolling are automatic, however we
don't do that right now.)
These restrictions seem ok in the benchmark suite, where the new
unroller can generally unroll many more loops than before.
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.
These are no longer required for correct scheduling. They are still
accepted for backward compatibility, but have no effect on simulation
and are dropped in the front-end. Also removed the then redundant
AstAlwaysPublic class.
Fixes#6442
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
Remove AstJumpLabel
AstJumpGo now references one if its enclosing AstJumpBlocks, and
branches straight after the referenced block.
That is:
```
JumpBlock a {
...
JumpGo(a);
...
}
// <--- the JumpGo(a) goes here
```
This is sufficient for all use cases and makes control flow much easier to
reason about. As a result, V3Const can optimize a bit more aggressively.
Second half of, and fixes#6216
