* Tests: Add t_hier_block_sc_trace(fst|vcd) that tests tracing hierarchical block on SystemC.
* Add a check that elaboration is done before a trace file is opened.
* Add a check that elaboration is done before trace() is called to verilated SystemC model.
* Tests: call sc_core::sc_start(sc_core::SC_ZERO_TIME) before opening a trace file
* Tests: Fix t_trace_two_sc to call sc_start before opening trace
* Use vl_fatal as suggested in PR review.
Trace initialization (tracep->decl* functions) used to explicitly pass
the complete hierarchical names of signals as string constants. This
contains a lot of redundancy (path prefixes), does not scale well with
large designs and resulted in .rodata sections (the string constants) in
ELF executables being extremely large.
This patch changes the API of trace initialization that allows pushing
and popping name prefixes as we walk the hierarchy tree, which are
prepended to declared signal names at run-time during trace
initialization. This in turn allows us to emit repeat path/name
components only once, effectively removing all duplicate path prefixes.
On SweRV EH1 this reduces the .rodata section in a --trace build by 94%.
Additionally, trace declarations are now emitted in lexical order by
hierarchical signal names, and the top level trace initialization
function respects --output-split-ctrace.
* Add a test to reproduce #3197
* Fix#3197. Optimize correctly even if a variable is >32
* Quick exit instead of continue. No functional change is intended.
* Delete comment-out line.
* update per review comment
IEEE 1800-2017 6.11.3 says these types are unsigned. Until now these
types were treated as not having a signedness (NOSIGN), and nodes having
these types were later resolved by V3Width to be unsigned. This is a bit
problematic when creating nodes of these types after V3Width. Treating
these types as unsigned from the get go is fine, and actually improves
generated code slightly.
* Add a test to reproduce bug3182. Run the same HDL with -Oo to confirm the result is same.
* Hopefully fix#3182. The result can be 0 only when polarity is true (no AstNot is found during traversal).
* add tests to reproduce #3177.
Any random test circuits can be added to t_split_var_4.v later because it uses CRC to check the result while
t_split_var_0.v has just barrel shifters.
* Fix#3177. Don't merge assign statements if a variable is marked split_var.
This is a partial cleanup of V3Order with the aim of increasing clarity:
- Split the initial OrderGraph building and the actual ordering process
into separate classes (OrderVisitor -> OrderBuildVisitor + OrderProcess)
- Remove all the historical cruft from the graph building phase (now in
OrderBuildVisitor), and add more assertions for assumptions.
- Change the dot styling of OrderGraph to use shapes and more easily
distinguishable colors.
- Expand vague comments, remove incorrect comments, and add more.
- Replace some old code with cleaner C++11 constructs.
- Move code about a bit so logically connected sections are closer to
each other, scope some definitions where they are used rather than file
scope.
- The actual ordering process (now in OrderProcess) is still largely
unchanged.
The generated code is identical to before (within the limits of the
exiting non-determinism).
The _CONST suffix on these macros is only lexical notation, pointer
constness can be preserved by overloading the underlying
implementations appropriately. Given that the compiler will catch
invalid const usage (trying to assign a non-const pointer to a const
pointer variable, etc.), and that the declarations of symbols should
make their constness obvious, I see no reason to keep the _CONST
flavours.
Fail at compile time if the result of these macros can be statically
determined (i.e.: they aways succeed or always fail). Remove unnecessary
casts discovered. No functional change.
VN_AS should be used over VN_CAST in code where the author knows up
front (i.e.: statically) what the true type of the node is. This has
multiple benefits over VN_CAST:
- In the debug build: Asserts node type is as expected
- In the optimized build: It is faster as no superfluous type test
- And (I would argue most importantly) it documents intent in the code
No current instances of VN_CAST changed in this patch
