Add support to the "read_verilog -sv" parser to validate the
"unique", "unique0", and "priority" keywords in contexts where
they're legal according to 1800-2012 12.4.2.
This affects only the grammar accepted; the behaviour of conditionals
is not changed. (But accepting this syntax will provide scope for
possible optimisations as future work.)
Three test cases ("unique_if", "unique_if_else", and
"unique_if_else_begin") verify that the keywords are accepted where
legal and rejected where illegal, as described in the final paragraph
of 12.4.2.
Consider this SystemVerilog file:
module top(...);
input clk;
input [7:0] data;
input ack;
always @(posedge clk)
if (ack) begin
assert(data != 8'h0a);
end
endmodule
Before this commit, the span for the assert was:
if (ack) begin>
assert(data != 8'h0a)<;
After this commit, the span for the assert is:
if (ack) begin
>assert(data != 8'h0a)<;
This helps editor integrations that only look at the beginning
of the span.
- Add support for assignments within expressions, e.g., `x[y++] = z;` or
`x = (y *= 2) - 1;`. The logic is handled entirely within the parser
by injecting statements into the current procedural block.
- Add support for pre-increment/decrement statements, which are
behaviorally equivalent to post-increment/decrement statements.
- Fix non-standard attribute position used for post-increment/decrement
statements.
(* 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."
always_ff @(posedge clk) begin
if (rotate) begin
{ v5, v4, v3, v2, v1, v0 } <= { v4, v3, v2, v1, v0, v5 };
if (res) begin
v0.bytes <= '0;
end else if (w) begin
v0.bytes[addr] <= data;
end
end
end
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.
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.
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.
- 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;
