The previous approach only initialized past_d and past_ad while for FST
cosim we also need to initialize the other past values like past_clk,
etc. Also to properly initialize them, we need to run a combinational
update step in case any of the wires feeding into the FF are private or
otherwise not part of the FST.
When writing VCDs smtbmc replaces square brackets with angle brackets to
avoid the issues with VCD readers misinterpreting such signal names.
For memory addresses it also uses angle brackets and hexadecimal
addresses, while other tools will use square brackets and decimal
addresses.
Previously the code handled both forms of memory addresses, assuming
that any signal that looks like a memory address is a memory address.
This is not the case when the user uses regular signals whose names
include square brackets _or_ when the verific frontend generates such
names to represent various constructs.
With this change all angular brackets are turned into square brackets
when reading the trace _and_ when performing a signal lookup. This means
no matter which kind of brackets are used in the design or in the VCD
signals will be matched. This will not handle multiple signals that are
the same apart from replacing square/angle brackets, but this will cause
issues during the VCD writing of smtbmc already.
It still uses the distinction between square and angle brackets for
memories to decide whether the address is hex or decimal, but even if
something looks like a memory and is added to the `memory_to_handle`
data, the plain signal added to `name_to_handle` is used as-is, without
rewriting the address.
This last change is needed to successfully match verific generated
signal names that look like memory addresses while keeping memories
working at the same time. It may cause regressions when VCD generation
was done with a design that had memories but simulation is done with a
design where the memories were mapped to registers. This seems like an
unusual setup, but could be worked around with some further changes
should this be required.
Otherwise the final values will not show up in gtkwave waveforms
when looking at the generated traces.

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.
* Change simlib's $mux cell to use the ternary operator as $_MUX_
already does
* Stop opt_expr -keepdc from changing S=x to S=0
* Change const eval of $mux and $pmux to match the updated simlib
(fixes sim)
* The sat behavior of $mux already matches the updated simlib
The verilog frontend uses $mux for the ternary operators and this
changes all interpreations of the $mux cell (that I found) to match the
verilog simulation behavior for the ternary operator. For 'if' and
'case' expressions the frontend may also use $mux but uses $eqx if the
verilog simulation behavior is requested with the '-ifx' option.
For $pmux there is a remaining mismatch between the sat behavior and the
simlib behavior. Resolving this requires more discussion, as the $pmux
cell does not directly correspond to a specific verilog construct.
Some builtin cells have an undefined (x) output even when all inputs are
defined. This is not natively supported by the formal backends which
will produce a fully defined value instead. This can lead to issues when
combining different backends in a formal flow. To work around these,
this adds a file containing verilog implementation of cells matching the
fully defined behavior implemented by the smt2 backend.
This is not valid when the prefix of a trace already violates
assertions. This can happen when the trace generating solver doesn't
look for a minimal length counterexample.
I have added an optional flag to smtbmc that causes failed temporal induction counterexample traces to be checked for duplicate states and reported to the user, since loops in the counterexample mean that increasing the induction depth won't help prove a design's safety properties.
via dup(fileno());gzdopen() because stdio might have buffered data from
the underlying file meaning that the underlying seek position isn't what
we think it is.
