In order to avoid unexpected breakage on multi-driven variables, we
resolve in DFG construction by using only the first driver encountered.
Also issues the MULTIDRIVEN error for these signals.
Replace the 'run to fixed point' algorithm with a work list driven
approach. Instead of marking the graph as changed, we explicitly add
vertices to the work list, to be visited, when a vertex is changed. This
improves both memory locality (as the work list is processed in last in
first out order), and removed unnecessary visitations when only a few
nodes changes.
Folding an AstLogAnd with a non-zero constant operand used to coerce the
type of the other operand, yielding an ill-typed node that DFG was then
unhappy about. Add a RedOr instead if the width of the replacement
operand is greater than zero.
Fixes#3726
Apart from the representational changes below, this patch renames
AstNodeMath to AstNodeExpr, and AstCMath to AstCExpr.
Now every expression (i.e.: those AstNodes that represent a [possibly
void] value, with value being interpreted in a very general sense) has
AstNodeExpr as a super class. This necessitates the introduction of an
AstStmtExpr, which represents an expression in statement position, e.g :
'foo();' would be represented as AstStmtExpr(AstCCall(foo)). In exchange
we can get rid of isStatement() in AstNodeStmt, which now really always
represent a statement
Peak memory consumption and verilation speed are not measurably changed.
Partial step towards #3420
In V3Active, we try hard to turn `always @(a or b or c)` into an
`always_comb` if the only variables read in the block are also in the
sensitivity list. In addition, also allow this optimization when reading
variables that are not in the sensitivity list, but are known to be
constant/never changing after initialization. In particular lookup
tables introduced by V3Table are covered by this. This can have a
significant impact on designs that use the `always @(a or b or c)` style
for combinational logic.
In non-static contexts like class objects or stack frames, the use of
global trigger evaluation is not feasible. The concept of dynamic
triggers allows for trigger evaluation in such cases. These triggers are
simply local variables, and coroutines are themselves responsible for
evaluating them. They await the global dynamic trigger scheduler object,
which is responsible for resuming them during the trigger evaluation
step in the 'act' eval region. Once the trigger is set, they await the
dynamic trigger scheduler once again, and then get resumed during the
resumption step in the 'act' eval region.
