Splitting of the Syms constructor/destructor were a bit arbitrarily
enforced with some parts splitable, while others not. There was also an
issue that even if the constructor and destructor bodies were split, we
would still end up with both in the same file that was double the size of
the intended split limit.
To fix, first all statements required in the Syms constructor and
destructor are gathered into a vector, then if the total number of
statements required for both is bigger than the split limit, the
implementations are split into sub-functions, one per file, as before,
ensuring that none of the functions are bigger than the split limit.
Also add __Slow suffix to the names of the files.
Patch 2 of 3 to fix long compile times of the Syms module in some
scenarios.
For handling $past and similar functions, we used to collect sampled
values of variables at the beginning of the main _eval function. If we
have many of these, this can grow _eval very large which can make C++
compilation very slow. Apply usual fix of emitting the necessary code in
a separate function and then splitting it based on size.
The 'act' region used to have 2 trigger vectors ('act' and 'pre'), now
it uses a single "extended" trigger vector where the top bits are what
used to be the used bits in the 'pre' trigger vector. Please see the
description above `TriggerKit`. Also move the extra triggers from the
low end to the high end in the trigger vectors.
Removed the VlTriggerVec type, and refactored to use an unpacked array
of 64-bit words instead. This means the trigger vector and its
operations are now the same as for any other unpacked array. The few
special functions required for operating on a trigger vector are now
generated in V3SchedTrigger as regular AstCFunc if needed.
No functional change intended, performance should be the same.
