* Tests: Add t_hier_block_sc_trace(fst|vcd) that tests tracing hierarchical block on SystemC.
* Add a check that elaboration is done before a trace file is opened.
* Add a check that elaboration is done before trace() is called to verilated SystemC model.
* Tests: call sc_core::sc_start(sc_core::SC_ZERO_TIME) before opening a trace file
* Tests: Fix t_trace_two_sc to call sc_start before opening trace
* Use vl_fatal as suggested in PR review.
Trace initialization (tracep->decl* functions) used to explicitly pass
the complete hierarchical names of signals as string constants. This
contains a lot of redundancy (path prefixes), does not scale well with
large designs and resulted in .rodata sections (the string constants) in
ELF executables being extremely large.
This patch changes the API of trace initialization that allows pushing
and popping name prefixes as we walk the hierarchy tree, which are
prepended to declared signal names at run-time during trace
initialization. This in turn allows us to emit repeat path/name
components only once, effectively removing all duplicate path prefixes.
On SweRV EH1 this reduces the .rodata section in a --trace build by 94%.
Additionally, trace declarations are now emitted in lexical order by
hierarchical signal names, and the top level trace initialization
function respects --output-split-ctrace.
* Add a test to reproduce #3197
* Fix#3197. Optimize correctly even if a variable is >32
* Quick exit instead of continue. No functional change is intended.
* Delete comment-out line.
* update per review comment
IEEE 1800-2017 6.11.3 says these types are unsigned. Until now these
types were treated as not having a signedness (NOSIGN), and nodes having
these types were later resolved by V3Width to be unsigned. This is a bit
problematic when creating nodes of these types after V3Width. Treating
these types as unsigned from the get go is fine, and actually improves
generated code slightly.
* Add a test to reproduce bug3182. Run the same HDL with -Oo to confirm the result is same.
* Hopefully fix#3182. The result can be 0 only when polarity is true (no AstNot is found during traversal).
* add tests to reproduce #3177.
Any random test circuits can be added to t_split_var_4.v later because it uses CRC to check the result while
t_split_var_0.v has just barrel shifters.
* Fix#3177. Don't merge assign statements if a variable is marked split_var.
