This brings the metadata for packed arrays in packed structs
in line with the metadata for unpacked arrays, and correctly
handles the case when both lsb and msb in an address range are
non-zero.
Otherwise the AST_CELL simplification uses the wrong celltype before the
AST_CELLARRAY simplification has a chance to unroll it and change it to
the $array celltype.
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.
Uses the regex below to search (using vscode):
^\t\tlog\("(.{10,}(?<!\\n)|.{81,}\\n)"\);
Finds any log messages double indented (which help messages are)
and checks if *either* there are is no newline character at the end,
*or* the number of characters before the newline is more than 80.
genrtlil.cc and simplify.cc had inconsistent and slightly broken
handling of signedness for array querying functions. These functions are
defined to return a signed result. Simplify always produced an unsigned
and genrtlil always a signed 32-bit result ignoring the context.
Includes tests for the the relvant edge cases for context dependent
conversions.
The previously generated logic assumed an unconstrained past value in
the initial state and did not handle 'x values. While the current formal
verification flow uses 2-valued logic, SVA value change expressions
require a past value of 'x during the initial state to behave in the
expected way (i.e. to consider both an initial 0 and an initial 1 as
$changed and an initial 1 as $rose and an initial 0 as $fell).
This patch now generates logic that at the same time
a) provides the expected behavior in a 2-valued logic setting, not
depending on any dont-care optimizations, and
b) properly handles 'x values in yosys simulation
For SVAs that have an explicit clock and are contained in a procedure
which conditionally executes the assertion, verific expresses this using
a mux with one input connected to constant 1 and the other output
connected to an SVA_AT. The existing code only handled the case where
the first input is connected to 1. This patch also handles the other
case.
The preprocessor currently destroys double slash containing escaped
identifiers (for example \a//b ). This is due to next_token trying to
convert single line comments (//) into /* */ comments. This then leads
to an unintuitive error message like this:
ERROR: syntax error, unexpected '*'
This patch fixes the error by recognizing escaped identifiers and
returning them as single token. It also adds a testcase.
- 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
Yosys works with bison 3.0 (or newer), but not bison 2.7 (the previous
release). Ideally, we would require "3" rather than "3.0" to give a
better error message, but bison 2.3, which still ships with macOS, does
not support major-only version requirements. With this change, building
with an outdated bison yields: `frontends/rtlil/rtlil_parser.y:25.10-14:
require bison 3.0, but have 2.3`.
This enables the usage of declarations of wand or wor with a base type
of logic, integer, or a typename. Note that declarations of nets with
2-state base types is still permitted, in violation of the spec.
- Root AST_PREFIX nodes are now subject to genblk expansion to allow
them to refer to a locally-visible generate block
- Part selects on AST_PREFIX member leafs can now refer to generate
block items (previously would not resolve and raise an error)
- Add source location information to AST_PREFIX nodes
This is accomplished by generating a unique name for the genvar,
renaming references to the genvar only in the loop's initialization,
guard, and incrementation, and finally adding a localparam inside the
loop body with the original name so that the genvar can be shadowed as
expected.
This code now takes the AST nodes of type AST_BIND and generates a
representation in the RTLIL for them.
This is a little tricky, because a binding of the form:
bind baz foo_t foo_i (.arg (1 + bar));
means "make an instance of foo_t called foo_i, instantiate it inside
baz and connect the port arg to the result of the expression 1+bar".
Of course, 1+bar needs a cell for the addition. Where should that cell
live?
With this patch, the Binding structure that represents the construct
is itself an AST::AstModule module. This lets us put the adder cell
inside it. We'll pull the contents out and plonk them into 'baz' when
we actually do the binding operation as part of the hierarchy pass.
Of course, we don't want RTLIL::Binding to contain an
AST::AstModule (since kernel code shouldn't depend on a frontend), so
we define RTLIL::Binding as an abstract base class and put the
AST-specific code into an AST::Binding subclass. This is analogous to
the AST::AstModule class.
- User-defined types must be data types. Using a net type (e.g. wire) is
a syntax error.
- User-defined types without a net type are always variables (i.e.
logic).
- Nets and variables can now be explicitly declared using user-defined
types:
typedef logic [1:0] W;
wire W w;
typedef logic [1:0] V;
var V v;
Fixes#2846
This doesn't do anything useful yet: the patch just adds support for
the syntax to the lexer and parser and adds some tests to check the
syntax parses properly. This generates AST nodes, but doesn't yet
generate RTLIL.
Since our existing hierarchical_identifier parser doesn't allow bit
selects (so you can't do something like foo[1].bar[2].baz), I've also
not added support for a trailing bit select (the "constant_bit_select"
non-terminal in "bind_target_instance" in the spec). If we turn out to
need this in future, we'll want to augment hierarchical_identifier and
its other users too.
Note that you can't easily use the BNF from the spec:
bind_directive ::=
"bind" bind_target_scope [ : bind_target_instance_list]
bind_instantiation ;
| "bind" bind_target_instance bind_instantiation ;
even if you fix the lookahead problem, because code like this matches
both branches in the BNF:
bind a b b_i (.*);
The problem is that 'a' could either be a module name or a degenerate
hierarchical reference. This seems to be a genuine syntactic
ambiguity, which the spec resolves (p739) by saying that we have to
wait until resolution time (the hierarchy pass) and take whatever is
defined, treating 'a' as an instance name if it names both an instance
and a module.
To keep the parser simple, it currently accepts this invalid syntax:
bind a.b : c d e (.*);
This is invalid because we're in the first branch of the BNF above, so
the "a.b" term should match bind_target_scope: a module or interface
identifier, not an arbitrary hierarchical identifier.
This will fail in the hierarchy pass (when it's implemented in a
future patch).
- 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
The current_module global is needed so that genRTLIL has somewhere to
put cells and wires that it generates as it makes sense of expressions
that it sees. However, that doesn't actually need to be an AstModule:
the Module base class is enough.
This patch should cause no functional change, but the point is that
it's now possible to call genRTLIL with a module that isn't an
AstModule as "current_module". This will be needed for 'bind' support.
No functional change: just get rid of the explicit iterator and
replace (*it)-> with child->. It's even the same number of characters,
but is hopefully a little easier to read.
This was actually a ticking UB bomb: after running the parser, the type
maps contain pointers to children of the current AST, which is
recursively deleted after the pass has executed. This leaves the
pointers in user_type_stack dangling, which just happened to never be a
problem due to another bug that causes typedefs from higher-level type
maps to never be considered.
Rebuilding the type stack from the design's globals ensures the AstNode
pointers are valid.
Calling log_signal is problematic for several reasons:
- with recent changes, empty string is serialized as { }, which violates
the "no spaces in IdString" rule
- the type (plain / real / signed / string) is dropped, wrongly conflating
functionally different values and potentially introducing a subtle
elaboration bug
Instead, use a custom simple serialization scheme.
This breaks the ability to use a global typename as a standard
identifier in a subsequent input file. This is otherwise backwards
compatible, including for sources which previously included conflicting
typedefs in each input file.
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.
Previously, memories were silently discarded by the JSON backend, making
round-tripping modules with them crash.
Since there are already some users using JSON to implement custom
external passes that use memories (and infer width/size from memory
ports), let's fix this by just making JSON backend and frontend support
memories as first-class objects.
Processes are still not supported, and will now cause a hard error.
Fixes#1908.
This defers the simplification of globals so that globals in one file
may depend on globals in other files. Adds a simplify() call downstream
because globals are appended at the end.
It was previously possible to override global parameters on a
per-instance basis. This could be dangerous when using positional
parameter bindings, hiding oversupplied parameters.
- Modules with a parameter without a default value will be automatically
deferred until the hierarchy pass
- Allows for parameters without defaults as module items, rather than
just int the `parameter_port_list`, despite being forbidden in the LRM
- Check for parameters without defaults that haven't been overriden
- Add location info to parameter/localparam declarations
Declaring the ports as standard module items already worked as expected.
This adds a missing usage of `checkRange()` so that headers such as
`module m(output integer x);` now work correctly.
