- 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
- FfData now keeps track of the module and underlying cell, if any (so
calling emit on FfData created from a cell will replace the existing cell)
- FfData implementation is split off to its own .cc file for faster
compilation
- the "flip FF data sense by inserting inverters in front and after"
functionality that zinit uses is moved onto FfData class and beefed up
to have dffsr support, to support more use cases
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.
Previously, opt_clean would reconnect all ports (including FF Q ports)
to a "canonical" SigBit chosen by complex rules, but would leave the
init attribute on the old wire. This change applies the same
canonicalization rules to the init attributes, ensuring that init moves
to wherever the Q port moved.
Part of another jab at #2920.
- 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
These parts keep rereading a Verilog module, then using chparam
to test it with various parameter combinations. Since the default
parameters are on the large side, this spends a lot of time
needlessly elaborating the default parametrization that will then
be discarded. Fix it with -deref and manual hierarchy call.
Shaves 30s off the test time on my machine.
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.
This adds one simple piece of functionality to opt_expr: when a cell
port is connected to a fully-constant signal (as determined by sigmap),
the port is reconnected directly to the constant value. This is just
enough optimization to fix the "non-constant $meminit input" problem
without requiring a full opt_clean or a separate pass.
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().
