* EmitXml: Added <ccall>, <constpool>, <initarray>/<inititem>, wrapped children of <if> and <while> with <begin> elements to prevent ambiguity
* EmitXml: added signed="true" to signed basicdtypes
All parameters that are required in the output are now emitted as
'static constexpr, except for string or array of strings parameters,
which are still emitted as 'static const' (required as std::string is
not a literal type, so cannot be constexpr). This simplifies handling
of parameters and supports 'real' parameters.
C++20 requires that aggregate types do not have a user declared
constructor, not even an explicitly defaulted one. We need these types
to be aggregates for static initialization.
Fixes#3076.
This patch partitions AstCFuncs under an AstNodeModule based on which
header files they require for their implementation, and emits them
into separate files based on the distinct dependency sets. This helps
with incremental recompilation of the output C++.
Apart from adding required AstCUse, V3CUse also used to create some
standard methods for classes. This is now done in a separate pass
V3Common. Note that this is not a performance issue, as V3Common just
iterates through each module, which are stored in a simple linked list
under the netlist, and does not need to traverse the whole netlist.
Other sub-classes of AstNodeCCall do not need the self pointer. Moving
it into the specific sub-class that needs it clarifies V3Descope and
Emit. No functional change intended.
Internal AstNodeModule headers (.h) and implementation (.cpp) files are
now emitted separately in V3EmitC::emitcHeaders() and
V3EmitC::emitcImp() respectively. No functional change intended
A separate V3VariableOrder pass is now used to order module variables
before Emit. All variables are now ordered together, without
consideration for whether they are ports, signals form the design, or
additional internal variables added by Verilator (which used to be
ordered and emitted as separate groups in Emit). For single threaded
models, this is performance neutral. For multi-threaded models, the
MTask affinity based sorting was slightly modified, so variables with no
MTask affinity are emitted last, otherwise the MTask affinity sets are
sorted using the TSP sorter as before, but again, ports, signals, and
internal variables are not differentiated. This yields a 2%+ speedup for
the multithreaded model on OpenTitan.
This patch makes OpenTitan verilation with --debug-check 22% faster, and
the same with --debug --no-dump-tree 91% faster. Functionality is the
same (including when VL_LEAK_CHECKS is defined), except V3Broken can now
always find duplicate references via child/next pointers if the target
node is not `maybePointedTo()` (previously this only happened when
compiled with VL_LEAK_CHECKS). The main change relates to storing the
v3Broken traversal state in the AstNode by stealing a byte from what
used to be unused flags. We retain an unordered_set only for marking
pointers as valid to be referenced via a non-child/non-next member
pointer.
Do not sort and hoist function local variables to the top of the
function definition. The stack layout of automatic variables is not
defined by C so the compilers can lay these out optimally. Simplifies
internals for follow on work. Effect on model performance is neutral to
very slight improvement, so we do not seem to be loosing anything.
V3Broken now checks that AstVar nodes referenced in an AstCFunc are
either external, or appear in the tree before the reference, and are in
scope.
Fix V3Begin to move lifted AstVars to beginning of FTask, rather than
end, which trips the above check.
