Apart from the representational changes below, this patch renames
AstNodeMath to AstNodeExpr, and AstCMath to AstCExpr.
Now every expression (i.e.: those AstNodes that represent a [possibly
void] value, with value being interpreted in a very general sense) has
AstNodeExpr as a super class. This necessitates the introduction of an
AstStmtExpr, which represents an expression in statement position, e.g :
'foo();' would be represented as AstStmtExpr(AstCCall(foo)). In exchange
we can get rid of isStatement() in AstNodeStmt, which now really always
represent a statement
Peak memory consumption and verilation speed are not measurably changed.
Partial step towards #3420
- Rename `--dump-treei` option to `--dumpi-tree`, which itself is now a
special case of `--dumpi-<tag>` where tag can be a magic word, or a
filename
- Control dumping via static `dump*()` functions, analogous to `debug()`
- Make dumping independent of the value of `debug()` (so dumping always
works even without the debug flag)
- Add separate `--dumpi-graph` for dumping V3Graphs, which is again a
special case of `--dumpi-<tag>`
- Alias `--dump-<tag>` to `--dumpi-<tag> 3` as before
Introduce the @astgen directives parsed by astgen, currently used for
the generation child node (operand) accessors. Please see the updated
internal documentation for details.
Static variable initializers run before initial blocks, so use an
explicitly different procedure type for them. This also enables us to
now raise errors for assignments to const variables in initial blocks.
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).
