The purpose of memtest02 in tests/simple/memory.v is to test bit
select on both memory (mem1) and memory converted to registers (mem2).
After 7cfae2c52, mem1 was automatically converted to registers,
and the test no longer worked as intended. This is fixed by
adding (* nomem2reg *) to mem1.
This expands the part-select tests with one additional module.
It specifically tests the different variants of the `peepopt`
optimizations `shiftadd` and `shiftmul`.
Not all these cases are actually transformed using `shiftadd`,
including them also checks if the correct variants are rejected.
This is primarily intended to enable the standard-permitted use of
module-scoped identifiers to refer to tasks and non-constant functions.
As a side-effect, this also adds support for the non-standard use of
module-scoped identifiers referring to constant functions, a feature
that is supported in some other tools, including Iverilog.
- Attempt to lookup a derived module if it potentially contains a port
connection with elaboration ambiguities
- Mark the cell if module has not yet been derived
- This can be extended to implement automatic hierarchical port
connections in a future change
If width of a case expression was large, explicit patterns could cause
the existing logic to take an extremely long time, or exhaust the
maximum size of the underlying set. For cases where all of the patterns
are fully defined and there are no constants in the case expression,
this change uses a simple set to track which patterns have been seen.
- disallow [gen]blocks with an end label but not begin label
- check validity of module end label
- fix memory leak of package name and end label
- fix memory leak of module end label
The recent fix for case expression width detection causes the width of
the expressions to be queried before they are simplified. Because the
logic supporting module scope identifiers only existed in simplify,
looking them up would fail during width detection. This moves the logic
to a common helper used in both simplify() and detectSignWidthWorker().
- The case expression and case item expressions are extended to the
maximum width among them, and are only interpreted as signed if all of
them are signed
- Add overall width and sign detection for AST_CASE
- Add sign argument to genWidthRTLIL helper
- Coverage for both const and non-const case statements
From IEEE1364-2005, section 7.3 buf and not gates:
> These two logic gates shall have one input and one or more outputs.
> The last terminal in the terminal list shall connect to the input of the
> logic gate, and the other terminals shall connect to the outputs of
> the logic gate.
yosys does not follow this and instead interprets the first argument as
the output, the second as the input and ignores the rest.
This is a somewhat obscure edge case I encountered while working on test
cases for earlier changes. Declarations in generate blocks should not be
checked against the list of ports. This change also adds a check
forbidding declarations within generate blocks being tagged as inputs or
outputs.
Elaboration now attempts constant evaluation of any function call with
only constant arguments, regardless of the context or contents of the
function. This removes the concept of "recommended constant evaluation"
which previously applied to functions with `for` loops or which were
(sometimes erroneously) identified as recursive. Any function call in a
constant context (e.g., `localparam`) or which contains a constant-only
procedural construct (`while` or `repeat`) in its body will fail as
before if constant evaluation does not succeed.
This change set contains a number of bug fixes and improvements related to
scoping and resolution in generate and procedural blocks. While many of the
frontend changes are interdependent, it may be possible bring the techmap
changes in under a separate PR.
Declarations within unnamed generate blocks previously encountered issues
because the data declarations were left un-prefixed, breaking proper scoping.
The LRM outlines behavior for generating names for unnamed generate blocks. The
original goal was to add this implicit labelling, but doing so exposed a number
of issues downstream. Additional testing highlighted other closely related scope
resolution issues, which have been fixed. This change also adds support for
block item declarations within unnamed blocks in SystemVerilog mode.
1. Unlabled generate blocks are now implicitly named according to the LRM in
`label_genblks`, which is invoked at the beginning of module elaboration
2. The Verilog parser no longer wraps explicitly named generate blocks in a
synthetic unnamed generate block to avoid creating extra hierarchy levels
where they should not exist
3. The techmap phase now allows special control identifiers to be used outside
of the topmost scope, which is necessary because such wires and cells often
appear in unlabeled generate blocks, which now prefix the declarations within
4. Some techlibs required modifications because they relied on the previous
invalid scope resolution behavior
5. `expand_genblock` has been simplified, now only expanding the outermost
scope, completely deferring the inspection and elaboration of nested scopes;
names are now resolved by looking in the innermost scope and stepping outward
6. Loop variables now always become localparams during unrolling, allowing them
to be resolved and shadowed like any other identifier
7. Identifiers in synthetic function call scopes are now prefixed and resolved
in largely the same manner as other blocks
before: `$func$\func_01$tests/simple/scopes.blk.v:60$5$\blk\x`
after: `\func_01$func$tests/simple/scopes.v:60$5.blk.x`
8. Support identifiers referencing a local generate scope nested more
than 1 level deep, i.e. `B.C.x` while within generate scope `A`, or using a
prefix of a current or parent scope, i.e. `B.C.D.x` while in `A.B`, `A.B.C`,
or `A.B.C.D`
9. Variables can now be declared within unnamed blocks in SystemVerilog mode
Addresses the following issues: 656, 2423, 2493
- expand_genblock defers prefixing of items within named sub-blocks
- Allow partially-qualified references to local scopes
- Handle shadowing within generate blocks
- Resolve generate scope references within tasks and functions
- Apply generate scoping to genvars
- Resolves#2214, resolves#1456
