(* nowrshmsk *) on a struct / union variable now affects dynamic
bit slice assignments to members of the struct / union.
(* nowrshmsk *) can in some cases yield significant resource savings; the
combination of pipeline shifting and indexed writes is an example of this.
Constructs similar to the one below can benefit from (* nowrshmsk *), and
in addition it is no longer necessary to split out the shift assignments
on separate lines in order to avoid the error message "ERROR: incompatible
mix of lookahead and non-lookahead IDs in LHS expression."

if (rotate) begin
{ v5, v4, v3, v2, v1, v0 } <= { v4, v3, v2, v1, v0, v5 };

v0.bytes <= '0;
end else if (w) begin
v0.bytes[addr] <= data;
end
end
end
When the verilog frontend perfomed constant evaluation of unbased
unsized constants in a context-determined expression it did not properly
extend them by repeating the bit value. This only affected constant
evaluation and not constants that made it through unchanged to RTLIL.
The latter case was already covered by tests and working before.
This fixes the const-eval issue by checking the `is_unsized` flag in
bitsAsConst and extending the value accordingly.
The newly added test also tests the already working non-const-eval case
to highlight that both cases should behave the same.
The difference between void functions and tasks is that always_comb's
implicit sensitivity list behaves as if functions were inlined, but
ignores signals read only in tasks. This only matters for event based
simulation, and for synthesis we can treat a void function like a task.
This uses the same constant parsing for enum_values and for attributes
and extends it to handle signed values as those are used for enums that
implicitly use the int type.
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.
