update to verilog-current-20070227 Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20070227 * Fix some problems with specify block parsing. Detect some cases that are parsed but not properly implemented yet and issue warnings or errors. Also fixed a few problems with inertial delay model timing. * Detect is some cases Verilog source errors that can be better reported to users. This includes more specific error messages for certain syntax errors. * Fix problems with overridden continuous assignments. * Hide bool types from logic type as far as VPI is concerned, for the sake of compatibility. * Fix a variety of code generator expression lifetime bugs that caused obscure (and wrong) output results in behavioral code. * iverilog-vpi uses the compiler selected at build time. * Rework handling of strings to handle escape sequences properly. * Fix some handling of real values in some expression types. * Get padding of sized, unsigned numbers when x or z are involved. * Many, many more misc. bug fixes. * Add an assert mechinism that improves usefulness of bug reports by reporting source file line numbers when available. * Compile fixes, using inttypes.h instead of stdint for portability. * Various spelling fixes.

Update to verilog-current-20070123 Release Note for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20070123 Handling of arrays has been rewritten to allow support for net arrays. This caused ivl_target API changes, as well as elaboration and vvp run time changes. There may be bits of the old method lingering in the source code. Improve support for constant power (**) expressions, and other constant exppressions that are passed to functions/tasks. Improve elaboration of for-loop increment expressions. There were some bugs there that are not fixed. Fix argument width calculations for shift operations. Constant ector expressions can have real constants. Handle this at run time where needed. Fix some bad lookaside optimizations for assignments to l-value part selects.

update to verilog-current-20061009 * Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20061009 The Big news is support for delay path timing is specify blocks. This includes delay paths and specparams. Back annotation of specify path timings are not yet implemented. The "-g" flag has been made a bit more general so that individual compiler features can be turned on/off. This for example allows for turning off specify block support and Icarus Verilog extensions, as well as select language generation. A variety of bug fixes have been included. - Missing symbols on Windows fixed. - mingw build instructions reworked. - Fix internal handling of -D__ICARUS__ define - Fix crash of driver when -M flag is used. - Fix configure detection of host in some subdirectories. - Handle non-constant delays of index non-blocking assignments. - $scanf support for real values. - Fix scheduling of RWsync vs. ROSync callbacks. - Fix vpi_put_userdata return value. The iverilog-vpi command now allows .cpp files to stand for C++ source.

Update to 20060809 snapshot. There have been several changes since the last packaged snapshot. Those are: -------------------------------------------------- Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20060215 -------------------------------------------------- * Part select of memory words should now work according to Verilog-2001. This also led to some cleanup of the handling of types internally, as well as some infrastructure for general arrays. * Minor fix to parsing of (* *) attributes. * Fix rounding of reals to integers. * Clean up some of the vvp engine related to memories. Remove some dead instructions. -------------------------------------------------- Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20060409 -------------------------------------------------- the most substantial difference in this snapshot the first signs of generate support. The compiler now supports generate loops and has been tested with examples that include wires and gates within the generate scheme. The regression test suite has very few generate tests, so any concise self-testing test programs that use generate would be helpful. Also, instance arrays that use overridden parameters now work properly. Task arguments are a bit more flexible in order to support vendor (notably Xilinx) models that use more interesting task arguments. Runtime support for bi-directional ports had some bugs fixed, along with some other minor run-time bugs. Also, the runtime gains support for typed parameters. And also, there are some new runtime callbacks for events and memories. Parameters had a few types related bugs fixed. They are a bit more flexible now. And various minor compilation errors have been fixed. This includes C/C++ compilation errors fixes, and some configure/Makefile tweaks. -------------------------------------------------- Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20060618 -------------------------------------------------- Add support for system functions in continuous assignments. Allow concatenations as arguments to inout ports. This comes with a small variety of internal part select and concatenation bug fixes. Fix some bugs in constant propagation through ternary expressions. Fix broken subtraction if small constants in certain cases. Fix a few datatype mismatch errors. Make $readmem give warning when input is inadequate for requested range. Fix runtime of nand in continuous assignments. Fix synchronous user defined primiteves to only follow edges. Fix a runtime error in some thread delays processing. Improve limited genvar expression handling. Start a rework of expression elaboration. Make elaboration aware of the expression context width when appropriate in order to better handle expression width and padding. Fix the make rules for parse.cc to reflect that they come from the same source. Fix the autoconf.sh to configure the stub target. Fix portability of the lexor source files on Windows systems. Get rid of the isatty references. Make a stub lround when the system version is missing. -------------------------------------------------- * Release Notes for Snapshot 20060809 -------------------------------------------------- Some handling of real values is improved. Real valued literals are handled in net contexts (continuous assignment, etc.). Also, modulus of real operands now works. (This is an extension to the Verilog standard.) The power operator (**) now works. Signed right shift works properly now. The $sscanf and $fscanf are introduced, and work at least for basic numeric values. The release function now works to undo general force statements, and not just contant force statements. Delay constants up to 64 bits are supported. This at first doesn't seem like an issue, but when precisions are mixed, it becomes surprisingly easy to overflow 32bit delays. The driver is reworked to pass many preprocessor details through a temporary file instead of on the command line of a system(3) call. This prevents confusing and incorrect shell processing of complex strings passed as values to -D flags. Various other little fixes.

update to 20060124 snapshot. A few new features have been added to allow proper simulation with newer Xilinx UNISIM models. (They are starting to use Verilog 2001 features.) And also various bug fixes in this release. -- Primitive and continuous assign delays can now be non-constant. This needed some new run-time support, so vvp had a slight format change, and certain new optimizations follow as a result. -- Bug handling certain constant sub-expressions in concatenation expressions. Also, allow concat expressions in constant contexts. -- Support for wide divide expressions. -- Fixes for stubborn compilers. -- Fix bugs in padding of signed expressions. -- More fixes for following the data types of expressions.

update to verilog-current 20041004. Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20041004 Some minor Makefile bugs have been fixed, and source file text formatting has in some cases been normalized for release. Also, configure scripts have been factored for a more consistent build. Fixed continuous assignments to carry strength when needed for correct behavior. This bug led to subtly incorrect reset behavior, but could have caused strength modeling errors in a variety of situations. Fixed some <= vs >= behaviors to be consistent. The results of these comparisons, when sized values are involved, are more standard now.

update to verilog-current-20040915. Changes in this snapshot: The big news is that module instance arrays now work. Gate and UDP instance arrays have worked for a while, but module instance arrays were more tricky because of the scope arrys they create. The issues have been dealt with, and module instance arrays are now supported. An interesting but subtle set of bugs in the evaluation of ternary expressions has been fixed. The problems expressed themselves when the condition expression was constant. Degenerate wait statements now work properly. The @* syntax apparently missed sensitivities in l-value expressions of assignment statements. This led to subtle bugs in carefully crafted bits of code. Verilog attributes are properly parsed in a few more contexts. Also, some specify syntax cases have been fixed. Some minor spelling and documentation errors have been fixed, along with assorted compiler warnings.

update to verilog-current-20040828 changes include: Added support for the `default_nettype directine, including the default net type of "none", which turns off implicit net declarations. Signed /, % and >>> in nets should now work properly. Also, various operators of all sorts applied to constants have been improved. Ranges now work on localparams. Added the system tasks $unsigned, $is_signed, $mti_random and $mti-dist_uniform. See the make README.txt for a description of these system functions. Also, flesh out the standard random number generators to match the sequences generated by other compilers. There is now an "sft" file that describes to the compiler the return value of system functions. This allows user supplied system functions to have interesting return types. See "SYSTEM FUNCTIO TABLE FILES" in the iverilog man page. Include a sft file for the system functions, and move the system functions over to that mechinism. Fix the behavior of $fgets in tight fitting result buffers. A variety of compilation environment fixes have been added. These involve configure scripts and Makefiles. And of course a variety of other bug fixes, and so on and so forth.

* Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20040606
Ports of primitives can bind by name as well as by position. Also
support Verilog 2001 style port declarations for primitives.
System function return types can now be specified by system function
table files. System Function Table Files are described in the iverilog
man page. Also include better system function return types in VPI.
Non-blocking assign of real values to real variables now works.
Properly handle nul strings ("") as 8bit values. This is a weirdness
legacy of XL.
Fix some synthesis problems for logical OR and logical AND. Bitwise OR
and AND were fine. These fixes affected simulation as well.
Handle wait statements with all sorts of constant values. These are
sometimes weird, bug legal.
Handle Negative value reals, and a few other bugs related to real
numbers.
Change internal use of identifiers to perm_strings for better
performance.
Functions returning unsupported types now generate error
messages. Previously, they would quietly generate bad
code. Infrastructure is also added to eventually support arbitrary
function return types.
Better compile-time support for Cygwin vs mingw32.
The ipal target is removed from this source. (ipal is now an add-on
package that is compiled seperately.)

update to verilog-current-20021019 Release Notes for Icarus Verilog Snapshot 20021019 The synthesizer now detects asynchronous set/reset inputs to DFF devices. The fpga and vvp code generators have been updated to support these signals. The vvp code generator also gained some register management code that improves the thread register usage. This redoces code size for certain common cases, and thus improves simulation performance. The requirements on `ifdef and related compiler directives has been relaxed, to correspond to more common behavior. The parameter range support crashed if the range expressions had parameters in them. This is fixed, and some signed-ness bugs fixed along with it. Rearrange some of the configure script tests to assure better compatibility accross platforms.

update to verilog-current-20020828 Release Notes for Snapshot 20020828 This snapshot adds support for parameter and localparam bit ranges. This is a IEEE1364-2001 feature, although some -1995 compilers have supported it in the past. Fixed a *nasty* and slippery bug with the evaluation of bit select of nets. (Bit select of variables was unaffected.) The symptoms did not clearly point to the problem, so bugs related to it were often mis- reported. Gate delays were lost when constants were propagated to their inputs. This is fixed for the known broken cases. Also, mux output delays have been fixed. Also, release statements that apply to elided nets are turned into no-ops. The r-values of non-blocking assignments are now precalculated at compile time, if possible, as is done with blocking assignments. This speeds up constant propagation, and is more thorough. Also optimize subtraction of small constants from vectors, with the new %subi instruction in vvp. This saves some in code size and thread footprint. Handling of x in r-value bit selects and memory word selects did the wrong thing. Now they do the right thing. Also, x in the selector of ?: ternary operators does the right (and complicated) thing now. In the process, a fork-join code generator bug was fixed. Several bugs with time formatting have been fixed. Temporaries in sequential blocks are detected by the synthesizer, and converted into wires when needed. This expands support for combinational logic synthesis.

update to verilog-current-20020317 Release Notes for snapshot 20020317 The first difference in this snapshot from the 0.6 release is that vvm is no longer compiled by default. If you want to compile vvm, you must enable it at configure time (--enable-vvm) and rebuild from scratch. Eventually, vvm will disappear from the release altogether. The next major difference is new support for user defined functions. It is new support, so it is bound to be buggy, but it should be somewhat complete. The major problem has been solved, so all that remains are bugs around the edges. The vvp run-time scheduler has been changed slightly. The run time behavior is getting increasingly precise and picky, as larger designs are thrown at the compiler. The change introduced in this snapshot fixes logic gates to not propagate zero-time pulses, and thus fixes some weird bugs in large designs. I've also added initial support for the Verilog 200x pragma comment, which are (* *) pairs. For now, the compiler ignores them as comments. This is what a compiler is supposed to do with anything that is not specifically recognized. Also, Tony (Anthony Bybell) has added LXT dump support. The LXT output file is a waveform output format that is much more compact then VCD. The gtkwave waveform viewer supports the LXT format, and should operate a bit faster when viewing LXT files. For now, there are separate system tasks for managing LXT output ($lxt_dumpvars, etc) but eventually the dump format will be selectable by environment variable or command line switch. This snapshot also includes various random bug fixes and improved error messages for incorrect code.

update to verilog-current-20020112 many many changes since the last packaged snapshot. A brief sampling of the changes (which include many bug fixes and enhancements) is: A variety of little problems with $display format strings have been fixed. The % operand should now simulate properly. Also, the * operator is a little bit more optimized, and works in constant expressions. Several bugs in strength modeling have been fixed. This includes drive strengths on continuous assignments, which in the past generated code without the strengths. Also, vvp gained some missing support for constants with strength. I think that strength modeling is now complete. vpi_get_vlog_info support has been added to the vvp run-time. This is a PLI function that allows access to run-time command flags. Also, vpi access to root modules now works properly.

update to verilog-current-20011209 snapshot. Many changes since the last packaged snapshot. A sampling of these are: Support for hierarchical names has been largely rewritten. The major consequence of this is that escaped names now have much better support. By now, most any combination of escaped and hierarchical name should work properly, for nets, parameters, and anything else. Output delays for primitive gates, including user defined primitivies, should now work properly. Delays on nets still do not work, although the parser now parses them and prints a "sorry" message. Bugs in support for division(/) and modulus (%) have been fixed. Bugs in l-values of synthesized DFF devices have been fixed. These bugs were related to part selects of vectors in l-values. A few XNF code generator bugs and limitations were fixed. And as usual, a variety of miscellaneous bugs have been fixed in this snapshot. The bit size of the results of some unary redunction operators is now properly handled. Also, similar problems with logical functions have been fixed. force/release now works for variables, though not yet for nets. Assign/deassign already work. many other bugfixes

Mechanical changes to 375 files to change dependency patterns of the form foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar". A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.

update to 20010630 snapshot. changes are: ----------- RELEASE NOTE FOR ICARUS VERILOG 20010630 I've done some cleanup of the mingw port of Icarus Verilog. I've also added instructions for how to build Icarus Verilog under mingw. I'm working on making that the preferred way to support Windows, and when I make the 0.5 release I will make Windows binaries this way. Anyhow, feedback on the build instructions and the build results using the instructions in mingw.txt are welcome. I've make "vvp" the default target type. The older vvm behavior is available with the "-tvvm" flag to iverilog, but I would rather be told about (and fix) bugs in the vvp code generator and run time. I've added support for the (unsigned) right shift operator. The left shift has been working for a while now, but right shift somehow slipped through the cracks. The shift operators still don't quite work in structural contexts, but they should show up sometime next week. I've finally got VCD output working properly with vvp. It may even be better then with vvm, although some internal symbols are still generated. A few odd bugs have been fixed, including a code generation error for xnf, and error checking of user defined function parameters.

update to verilog-current-20010422 Changes since the last packaged snapshot from the authors announcements: Icarus Verilog snapshot 20010422 -------------------------------- I've integrated a bunch of UDP patches from Stephan Boettcher. These go to the core of ivl, so if you use Icarus Verilog with UDPs, you might want to give this a test for us. Stephan has also added some ivl_target support for UDP devices. This is a prerequisite to vvp support for UDP devices. Some of you have been beating me over the head about disable, so the vvp target now supports disable. It only works in certain very constrained situations, but the idea is there and the more common cases are simply a matter of getting around to them. I actually could use more examples of the use of disable for the test suite. In the process, I have settled on the interaction of threads and scopes, and changed the %fork syntax to match. See the README.txt and opcodes.txt file for details. The implementation of %end and %join simplified in the process. The vvp-tgt code generator supports a few more gate types. New gate types are pretty easy to add, it's just boring grunt work. That's why they've been popping up slowly. I've also got certain behavioral shifts working. Only constant shifts, so far, but this covers a pretty large percentage of the real world uses of shift, I think. I fixed a few specify block parse problems, so it should ignore even more complex specify blocks now:-) One of these days I really will properly support specify blocks. PROGRESS I was hoping to get vvp up to a similar level as vvm by the end of April, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. I'm up to 182 tests passed, compared to 318 of Icarus Verilog/vvm, so I have a ways to go yet. I see no real point to making a release until I get up to 300 or so tests passed. That is the goal for 0.5 release. But of course if vvp is enough for you, then it is soooo much faster then vvm. Icarus Verilog 20010415 Snapshot -------------------------------- As with all the most recent snapshots, this is almost entirely progress with the vvp code generator and simulation engine. I'm up to 159 tests passed in the test suite, so I'm getting there. But there's still plenty to go. I also fixed what appeared to be a minor problem with elaboration of ?: expressions in continuous assignments. The code was actually fine, it was a spurious assert. This fix affects vvm as well. Icarus Verilog/vvp now support <= statemements with internal delays. That is, "foo <= #10 bar;" should work properly, and there are tests in the suite that prove it. This is a pretty common syntax, so this should help a lot of folks. I also fixed a bug in the code generator that would cause it to put a constant bit as a destination for the bitwise boolean operators. This caused run-time asserts. The event or support in vvp has been extended to now support arbitrary width, so now you can for example wit for any changes in a 32bit reg. This handles most of the likely cases, so @ statements should now be pretty generally functional. The handling of run-time threads has been revamped in preparation for support of the disable statement. It also plugs a memory leak where fork/join and task/function calls are invoked. And this version should also clean up all those tiny initial foo=bar threads that all programs seem to have. Threads that are done are now freed, along with their memory, hopefully reducing the runtime memory footprint. That's pretty much it this time 'round. Working with threads took some time, so the progress isn't as flashy as it sometimes is. There is still lots to do with vvp before 0.5, but I would appreciate any feedback you can offer. It's complete enough already that I'm able to accept bug reports on it, even if it turns out to be a "not supported yet" type of thing. At this point, I'd be curious to know what hangups are preventing its regular use.

update verilog-current to 20010407 changes since last snapshot are (from the authors email) verilog-20010407 -------------------- Still more progress on the new VVP simulation engine: As with last week, this snapshot includes a lot of work on the ivl_target API in support of code generation for vvp. Also, the vvp execution engine has progressed some. In fact, vvp has grown up to understand signed vectors and some signed expressions. The signed vectors are mostly for VPI use, the signed comparison instructions actually do signed work. Case comparisons are new, along with %and and %or instructions, and %nor/r for reduction. I also added a few new gate types to the .functor support. A bug in the propagation of values by %set instructions has been fixed. Specifically, the %set instruction not only sets the value of the .var that it references, but also executes the propagation events that result. This fixed some event ordering bugs. Some VPI support needed by system.vpi is added to vvp to allow it to properly handle signed signals, decimal values, and a few other details. $display should work much better then it did last week. Back in the vvp.tgt code generator, lots of new stuff is happening. Several of the bitwise binary operators have been added, as well as more comparison operators. This includes handling of signed expressions. This also implies that vvp.tgt generates the proper .net vs .net/s and .var vs .var/s statements. User defined functions and tasks are now working. In fact, the vvp target probably handles more functions (in behavioral code) then the vvm engine. I've received several bug reports about user defined functions with loops, that don't work under vvm. These should work with vvp. Non-blocking assignments now work, too. All forms of case/casex/casez are supported by the code generator, and use the proper compare instructions. Forever, Repeat and While loops also work now. A few bugs in event handling, and all the edge types (including behavioral triggers) should work with limitations. Event or is still in the works, and any-edge of large vectors (>4 bits) does not work. *Whew!* As you can see, a *lot* of stuff is happening. I'm up to passing 110+ tests in the regression test suite (Icarus Verilog/vvm passes 318 tests) so the changes are actually making things work. Test and be merry! verilog-20010331 -------------------- More and more progress on VVP. More and more snapshots. A lot of work has been done to the ivl_target loadable target API. This API is growing to support the also growing tgt-vvp target. I've added support for case statements, event triggers fork blocks. Of course this also means that the tgt-vvp code generator and the vvp simulator now support constructs including case, events, and parallel blocks. I've also fixed up the driver to properly report errors that tgt-vvp detect. This makes the test suite regression script work a lot better. I'm up to more then 70 tests in the test suite passing. I'm finding that writing the code generator for vvp assembly is a *lot* easier then writing a code generator for C++/vvm. Fortunately, the vvp assembler is pretty fast. At any rate, the vvp simulation engine is starting to show signs of being useful. It still does not cover nearly as much of Verilog as vvm, but what it does cover is so much faster that it may be worth your while to try it out. And more eyes looking at it can only be a good thing.

update to verilog-current-20010324. Changes since the last version from the authors announcement are: There are a few bugs in the main compiler that are fixed. There has also been an extension to the $fopen that adds support for opening files for reading. The $fgetc has been added to take advantage of this. This was done on the VPI side, although a slight extension to the mcd functions was created. The real news is the vvp simulation engine. I've added the tgt-vvp code generator source and the vvp assembler/simulator, and the combination actually produces the occasional working program. And it makes them very quickly. So far as I can tell now, I am going to be very pleased with the final outcome when this work is complete. However, it is not at all ready to use. This snapshot is mostly to give a preview of things to come to a wider audience. HOW VVP WORKS If you are accustomed to the existing vvm behavior, you remember that the vvm simulator works by generating C++ and feeding that to the g++ compiler. Many of you are painfully aware of that. VVP does *not* work like that. Instead of generating C++, the generator emits assembly language for an abstract simulator processor. The processor that the assembly targets doesn't really exist, but the vvp program, included in this Icarus Verilog snapshot, assembles the code to data structures in memory, then efficiently emulates the abstract processor. So the simulation of a program via vvp works by first compiling the Verilog to vvp assembly. The vvp.tgt modules generates the code, and is envoked when you use the ``-tvvp'' switch to iverilog. The vvp assembly file so created is then passed to the vvp program to be assembled and executed. There is a single vvp input file that is the design to simulate. The vvp assembler is designed to execute the design efficiently. HOW TO LEARN MORE The ivl_target.h header file describes the loadable target API that the vvp code generator uses to gain access to the design. Then the tgt-vvp directory contains the implementation of the vvp code generator. The vvp directory contains the implementation of the assembler/simulator that runs the compiled design. The README.txt file describes how the vvp program works in general, and points to other txt files. There are a variety of other .txt files in the vvp directory that describe how the major components of the vvp program work.

update to verilog-current-20010113 bug fixes and signed support (yay!). detailed changes since last packaged snapshot from the authors announcements: Icarus Verilog snapshot 20010113 -------------------------------- We're getting close to release candidates. Maybe another snapshot, then I start with making 0.4 release candidates. So lets get this tested so that I can move forward! This snapshot largely fixes a whole bunch of bugs. I'm working feverishly to catch up to the reported bugs, but they are coming in about as fast as I can resolve them. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you. These PRs are really helping me make it better.) But that means I'm going to just concentrate on getting as many PRs done as I can before the release. The syntax of functions and tasks has been expanded to allow parameters. This is not a common thing to do, but someone puts parameters if functions The syntax of functions and tasks has been expanded to allow parameters. This is not a common thing to do, but someone puts parameters if functions so I had a PR to fix:-) Also I caught a problem with executing functions that take no input parameters. In fact, a bunch of function related bugs were fixed. I lost track of em all. Ports of tasks weren't elaborated properly. I fixed this and a few related problems so most legal l-values should work as task port expressions now. Memories within tasks should also work properly now. Speaking of ports, I now report errors when there is a port direction for module ports that don't exist. In fact, there are a whole bunch of cases where I've added required error messages. The %d format of display strings now displays signed negative values as negative values instead of the unsigned equivalent. This goes along with the other signed arithmetic features from the -2000 standard that are now supported. I fixed up the Makefiles (thanks to a contribution) to support build using the VPATH capabilities of the makefile. You should be able to compile for multiple targets now from a shared source directory. Icarus Verilog snapshot 20010106 -------------------------------- I'm just managing to barely keep up with the bug reports arriving in the bug tracking system. I'm pleased with the success of the ivl-bugs robot. These bug reports have allowed me to better manage and record progress. Keep those bug reports coming! I've added support for arrays of integer and time variables, as well as the Verilog 2000 initialization syntax for these types. I have also made some internal changes to integer support. Integers are now just a shorthand for ``reg signed [31:0]'' and signed variable support has made some internal changes to integer support. Integers are now just a shorthand for ``reg signed [31:0]'' and signed variable support has been generalized. This makes it easier on the code generators, as they do not need to know that a variable was a integer, a time, a foo or a bar. I few constant propagation errors have been fixed. Continuous assignments of constants to nets should behave correctly now. Many people noticed lack of expression support for parameters. In fact, the problem was a lack of support for a bunch of specific operators. I've added many operators. This has the side effect of improving constant propagation as well, in some cases finding more dead code to eliminate. This also affected expressions that were index expressions of memories and vector declarations. The / operator in continuous assignment expressions is fixed. There were a few size related issue here that are now fixed. I've added to the i3331364-notes.txt file a clarification of my position on parse of repeat statements. This position is compatible with XL behavior. Passing parameters to user defined functions in behavioral code was pretty darn broken. I managed to fix this. You can tell that not many people use user defined functions:-) (It doesn't help that Icarus Verilog is picky about them.) For vvm, I've put some effort into optimizing the compile time of programs by reducing the size of the output code. I've reduced redundancies some, and used loops to handle vectors where possible. A few bugs related to $dumpvars were cleaned up. Function scopes work.

update verilog-current to 20001216.
Changes since the last packaged snapshot are (from the authors announcements):
Icarus Verilog snapshot 20001216
--------------------------------
This is the last snapshot before the holidays, so I hope it has your
favorite present in it. A lot of PR#s have been dealt with, and for a
brief moment I felt like I was getting ahead of the pending list:-)
I've added support for non-integer times, at least in a few contexts.
The `timescale directives should interact properly with the decimal
point in delays, causing more accurate timing simulations. This should
make vendor-supplied libraries work much better.
I've added support for signed reg variables. Signed expressions should
now generally do the right thing, but this feature needs much more testing,
and many more tests in the test suite. However, I do know that signed
comparisons should work properly. Bug reports for problems with signed
arithmetic are encouraged.
Many people have been having troubles with Cygwin compilation. The
problem was with the latest version of binutils. Venkat came up with a
solution that works with old and new binutils, so you can now compile
with the very latest cygwin software. This should make things a lot
easier for a lot of people.
I've made initial steps toward an HP/UX port. The configure script should
detect the right dl library to use, and the t-dll target should be able
to load loadable targets. I am looking for a volunteer to take responsibility
for the HP/UX port as I have no suitable machines. Said person should
be able to compile Icarus Verilog, manage HP/UX specific portability
issues, and be able to make precompiled packages when the stable release
is out.
I'm still looking for a similar volunteer for FreeBSD/{alpha,i386}.
Some more progress was made on support for PALs. I'm close to choosing
macrocell modes and configuring fuses. Won't be long now, folks.
Icarus Verilog snapshot 20001129
--------------------------------
few more constant propagation improvements this time, most notably
XOR an XNOR are now fairly complete. These are interesting as they are
generated by comparison operators so show up pretty often. And it is
common to compare numbers to constants. Thus, there are lots of oppor-
tunities for gate elimination!
Synthesis of unary ! now works. Unary ~| (reduction nor) should also
be in good shape now, as should binary || (logical or). Synthesis of
binary && is still a little shaky. Go ahead and file reports if you
trip on it. Binary != was broken with XNF synthesis, so that is also
fixed, along with a few cases of mangled XNF output. And there were
also a few bugs related to the CE of inferred DFFs, that didn't get
connected.
A *big* problem with synthesis occurred with non-blocking assignment.
Icarus Verilog simply failed to synthesize the r-value of the assignment
and all kinds of bad things happened. I fixed this, it's better now.
Whew! Lots of XNF synthesis bugs fixed! This is what happens when users
take the time to submit good bug reports.
There are also some bugs related to dead signal elimination that causes
Icarus Verilog to crash in some synthesis cases. These have been fixed
up so far as I know.
I have slightly improved root module detection of iverilog. If there is
only one module in a source file, it is pretty obvious that it is the root
module, even if it has ports. This is a common case for XNF synthesis
(especially when making small macros with Icarus Verilog) and should save
some typing and confusion.

update to verilog-current-20001119 changes since the last packaged version (from the authors announcements): Icarus Verilog snapshot 20001119 -------------------------------- The big change here (code wise) is improved and corrected constant propagation. I was missing OR, NOR, NAND and XOR propagations, and got some of the AND calculations wrong. This fixes this shortcoming and in some cases this actually may speed up your compile a tiny bit. Some more dangling signals are also eliminated. supply nets are now working (PR#17). They also will trigger constant propagation (as they have constant values) in certain cases. Those of you doing cygwin compiles have trouble compiling parse.cc. I've put into the cygwin.txt some slightly better instructions for dealing with this situation, when it comes up. I've also added missing symbols to ivl.def, so that tgt-stub properly links. Icarus Verilog snapshot 20001112 -------------------------------- This snapshot includes support for MOS et al devices as contributed by Tim Leight. It appears to actually work as advertised, and I also have from him a collection of tests that I'll be adding to the test suite as soon as I get copyright information from him. So if you have been dreaming of simulating MOS devices with Icarus Verilog, give this a try. This update also fixed PR#27. I've also cleared up a few bugs related to unconnected module ports. Module port syntax is pretty byzantine, as PR#38 shows. The loadable target API has gained access to flip-flops. This is required for PLD code generation to work. I think the ivl_target API now supports the minimum devices needed to generate PLD files, and I'm on to the task of getting ancillary PAL support working. Icarus Verilog snapshot 20001104 -------------------------------- Yes, I've managed to find the right bits to get Icarus Verilog to compile on RedHat 7.0, and this snapshot includes those fixes. It took some back- and-forth with tech support at RedHat to get it going. I've also fixed up make check so that it works in general. If you use "make check" after building, the makefile will run the examples/hello.vl program through the local parts to make sure they minimally work. I've added support for the "time" data time and more complete support for the $time system function. These should work properly in all cases now, so cases of not working are worthy of a bug report. I've also integrated a re-implementation of sequential UDPs from Stephan Boettcher, so I would appreciate it if all you folks using primitives give this a fresh test. (It should be an improvement.) This is a relatively small message, which doesn't reflect the complexity of the changes. The "time" support in particular caused a lot of threads to be pulled. Also, I've been doing some PLD stuff on the side, so I've been busy. I've also knocked of PR#11, 14, 33, 34, 39 and a few other bugs.

update to 20001021 snapshot of verilog-current from the authors announcement: ----------------------------- The loadable target module API is starting to take shape. That is the major thrust nowadays with Icarus Verilog, after all, so progress is being made here. The biggest change is in fact a philosophy change. The target module now needs only a single symbol -- target_design -- to receive the whole design. The target module can from there and using the API access the entire design randomly. So if you wanted to implement a graphical browser, you could:-) I've added support for the l-values of procedural assignments, and also back pointers to objects that reference ivl_nexus_t objects. This closes the loop so that there should be no dead-ends in the design. I've clarified and expanded the descriptions in the ivl_target.h header file. There should be just about enough documentation to properly used all the various types. (Have any of you tried to write GIMP plug-ins? Have you looked at the libgimp header files? Have you seen any comments there?-( I won't ever sink to that level, I hope.) I've also imtegrated updates to the Cygwin32 port to support loadable targets under Cygwin32. After much struggling, Venkat managed to discover the secret magic needed to get load time symbol binding to work. Hopefully I didn't break it too bad when I changed the API again. (I think it is still fine.)

update to verilog-current-20000805. Changes since the last packaged snapshot are (from the authors announcements): -------------------------------- Icarus Verilog snapshot 20000721 -------------------------------- (first snapshot after the 0.3 release) This snapshot adds no new features or language support, but is working towards more precise interpretation of scheduling and value propagation details. The first thing I've done is redesign the internal Link structure that is used to connect the internal netlist together. There are some aspects of the nexos of a set of links that were carried by the Link class or by external functions. These have been moved to the new Nexus class and linking and structure has improved because of it. This has led me to modify the handing of signal initial values. In practice, the time-0 value of a net is a property of the nexus instead of the objects that are connected together, so I have implemented it so, and in the process fixed a bunch of initial value problems. One new feature that is added is support for non-constant delay expressions. Now, you can even have something like ``#($random%256) <statement>'' and expect it to do what you think. (So now the telephone example in James Lee's "Verilog Qickstart" actually works!) I've added some missing support for various operators in constant expressions. I've also added some more of the friends of $random for those folks who do stochastic modeling. Constant propagation carries some new bug fixes, and some new smarts. It is for example able to detect a mux with a constant 'bz input and replace it with bufif devices, and other clevernesses with logic reduction. -------------------------------- Icarus Verilog snapshot 20000729 -------------------------------- Like I said, the `timescale compiler directive now more or less works. You can now specify timescale for modules, and the compiler will figure out a global design resolution and scale your time values to match. The VCD dumps should reflect the chosen resolution automatically. Floating point notation is not yet supported, we'll see if that turns out to be a problem. A problem with `timescale support is that the compiler will allow unitless modules. This can happen if you have `timescale late in the source file. The default unit is the not-very-intuitive 1s. Frankly, I don't like the `timescale semantics for this sort of reason, but its an accepted standard, so I'm stuck with it. I've also added support for min:typ:max expressions. The compiler chooses one of the three expressions at compile time, based on a compile time switch. You can ask for min typ or max values via the "-Tmin" etc. switch to the iverilog command. If you do not specify a switch, the compiler will choose the typ values but print warnings. The -Ttyp switch will suppress the warnings. I have fixed yet more net initialization bugs. These are getting pretty subtle, now, so you should have a hard time tickling any remaining errors here. I've also fixed a nasty and subtle bug in event expression support. This bug only happened when the design had many event expressions with many conjunctions. Although they are not ready for use, I have made some forward progress with disable statements. I now at least elaborate them, so now I just need to figure out how to make the run-time work out. That's the hard part, I'm afraid. -------------------------------- Icarus Verilog snapshot 20000805 -------------------------------- I've finally dealt with a problem that's been nagging at me for a while. Until now, it has been possible that excessively clever hierarchical references into and out of task scopes could confound symbol lookup. I think I finally put that to rest, and in the process reorganized the netlist format for holding task definitions. It should no longer be possible to confuse name binding in Icarus Verilog. Found and fixed a silly bug in elaborating e?a:'bz and e?'bz:a expressions into bufifN devices. I got the sense of the enable wrong in one of the cases. All fixed (and the test suite updated to catch this silly mistake:-) tri0 and tri1 nets should now work properly. These are mostly a run- time issue which I solved using resolution functions. This is actually a technique that I borrowed from VHDL. For those of you doing XNF synthesis, I fixed up my FF/RAM detector to allow <= assignments in always blocks. This is in fact the preferred way to describe DFFs as <= more accurately simulates their RTL nature. Also found and fixed a few DOS \r\n line end issues in the lexical ana- lyser and the preprocessor. We sometimes forget how tricky these line- end problems can be, and compiler directives are the most susceptible. This problem most likely occurs when you transport files from a DOS environment. (The MAC folks haven't complained much, so either I got it right for them, or Kato took care of the problems for me:-)

update to verilog-current-20000527
changes since last packaged snapshot are (from the authors announcements):
Icarus Verilog 20000527 Snapshot
----------------------------------
It's snapshot time!
<ftp://icarus.com/pub/eda/verilog/snapshots/verilog-20000527.tar.gz>
This snapshot doesn't add any new features, but fixes a few bugs. I've
taken care of a bunch of bug reports with an eye towards getting this
polished up for a 0.3 stable release.
I fixed some problems with elaborating the condition expression of a
ternary operator. This was a long-standing bug that only happened in
structural (i.e. continuous assignment) situations.
I've also done some merging of event expressions. The netlist format makes
NetEvProbe and NetEvent objects for event expressions, and it was making
more then were needed. I've done some merging, though I have some more
things I can do on this front. I'll be working on it for the next snapshot.
I found a whole bunch of bugs with parsing expression lists, for example
module port expressions. The result is actually a smaller parser:-) So
module port expressions should be parsed and elaborated correctly, now.
In the vvm code generator, I've found some room to optimize the generated
code. I detect duplicate initialization of a nexus, and prevent the
excess code being generating. In one slightly degenerate example sent to
me, this change reduced the generated C++ by more then 6 times. I was
pretty amazed.
I've also slightly optimized the special case of behavioral assignments
from simple signal expressions. This removed a few lines of generated
code per assignment. This sort of thing helps compile time performance.
Icarus Verilog 20000512 Snapshot
----------------------------------
This is mostly a bug fix snapshot. No new features here, but I'm starting
to buff it up shiny for an upcoming 0.3 release. It looks like I'll be
starting to do release candidates soon, so test this snapshot hard, folks!
<ftp://icarus.com/pub/eda/verilog/snapshots/verilog-20000519.tar.gz>
I re-implemented flip-flop and RAM synthesis, the new technique should
allow me to make much more complete synthesis. It's still not the nifty
full-scale synthesis I hope to do some day, but it should catch some of
the bigger synthesis problems.
I've also added to XNF synthesis the ability to detect start-up initial
values for flip-flip devices. This causes it to generate INIT= properties
for the devices as appropriate.
I've improved the VVM code generated by the t-vvm code generator. I've
managed to reduce the size of the code generated for some larger models
by 30%, and I should have improved run-time performance in the process.
This should help.
I've also found (thanks to bug reports) and fixed some module port issues.
I bet you can't dream up legal port binding that Icarus Verilog can't
handle:-) This issue should be taken care of.
VPI now includes the ability to set registers. I needed this to implement
a PNG image I/O module. I'm still working on that, I'll distribute it
separately when it is in better shape.
Various other bug fixes in iverilog and elsewhere. Several bug fixes
in the VVM runtime, including some support for the % operator.
I've done some updates to documentation to reflect some of the changes
since 0.2, so you can take a look at that too.

update to 20000506 snapshot. changes from the last packaged snapshot (from the authors announcement): ---------------Icarus Verilog 20000506 Snapshot------------------ A lot of internal reworking has been done on this, so there might be problems with things like symbol binding. But I think this is much better then the last snapshot. I am once again starting to think about a stable release. I'll shoot for the end of May, so if there is anything you want to see in that release, start pestering me. The big job has been a rewrite of the symbol table that holds signals. The previous elaboration and lookup code for signals/memories did not work properly when hierarchical names were used in the context of tasks and functions. Also, the old table kept all the signals is a single lookup table that failed to take advantage of knowledge of the current scope. All that is changed. signals are now elaborated after parameters and before processes, so all hierarchical accesses should work properly now, no matter how contorted. I've also fixed some bugs with function/task parameter passing. I've also added some infrastructure for supporting system functions, and I've added an implementation of the $random system function. This currently uses the native random(3) C library function, but once I get access to the standardized algorithm, I'll implement that. There are also a few fixes to elaboration of ternary operators. They were a bit touchy about result bit widths. A few preprocessor bugs have been fixed, especially related to the `ifdef/`endif tokens. People are all the sudden starting to use the Icarus Verilog preprocessor, so some long-standing bugs have been caught. The iverilog command had a few path problems fixed, and the remaining necessary switches have been added. I really encourage people to start using iverilog in place of verilog. The test suite now uses iverilog to run the compiler, so should you. There is a man page.

Update to verilog-current to the 20000428 snapshot. The many bug fixes and changes since the last packaged snapshot are (from the authors announcements): Icarus Verilog 20000428 Snapshot -------------------------------- This one clears up some pretty nasty and subtle bugs. If you've been sending me bug reports, you're probably turning blue holding your breath in anticipation of this snapshot. Breath in, Breath out. Hooray, both force and release work properly. I'm happy about that, release worked out a bit easier then I expected. These should be useful to test bench designers. The big news this past week, however, has been bug fixes. Lots of bug fixes. I got lots of bug reports and I killed pretty nearly all of them. There were lots of nasty icky problems with passing parameters to/from tasks, especially when memory words were involved. I fixed up a whole bunch of these, and now parameter passing should work pretty will, modulus the few remaining bugs I'm not seeing yet. The iverilog command is in better shape now, and I encourage people to use it in place of the older "verilog" driver script. There is a man page for iverilog, and it supports all the switches needed to do simulation and synthesis. I would like people to start getting this driver well tested and the bugs worked out, because it is going to be the main driver come the next stable release. Some neat new XNF features are happening. I synthesize identity compare in XNF, and a few other missing operators. But the really neato part is that I've taught Icarus Verilog to generate PIN records for module ports, so that you can make XNF macros out of Verilog source. If you elaborate a module that has ports, the XNF code generator will automatically generate the necessary symbols so that external XNF tools can link the generated output into larger designs. I've compared the XNF files from Icarus Verilog with those generated by Abel, and they appear the same to my eyes. Icarus Verilog 20000421 Snapshot -------------------------------- Bunches of bug fixes, and a few new features come with this snapshot. This snapshot makes headway in both simulation and synthesis. I'm also starting to make a big dent in my todo list for the 0.3 release. The bunches of little bug fixes in this snapshot are a direct result of bunches of bug reports this past week that I was able to deal with. If you've been reporting bugs, this may contain your fix. I redesigned the process implementation in the vvm backend, so the generated code is a bit cleaner, and threads are lighter weight. And while I was at it, fork/join now should work properly. I know there were a bunch of you out there asking for this, so here it is. I've incorporated into this release improved runtime support for integer multiplication, it should now work now matter how incredibly enormous you make the operands. Thanks to Chris Lattner for contributing the generic multiply. I've improved synthesis somewhat, there were some expressions in some contexts that were not getting synthesized by the -Fsynth functor. This is fixed, and I'm also starting to add some XNF specific optimizations into the -Fxnfio functor. I do sensible things with identity compare, for example. I've added the program ``iverilog'' to be a new driver program written in C instead of as a shell script. This driver supports the -tnull, -txnf and -tvvm targets, as well as the -E flag that causes only the preprocessor to be run. This should be interesting to those of you who are looking for a working preprocessor. I'm still working on the -D and the -I flags, but I expect this program to replace the verilog.sh script before the 0.3 release. Icarus Verilog 20000414 Snapshot -------------------------------- All event handling is now complete. Yet another subject is behind me, and on I go. By complete, I mean that named events, edge triggers, wait, and lists of events all work. This took a little longer then I expected, so some of the other things I wanted to work on had to wait. As a side effect of event and thread scheduling work, I changed the way that threads are generated in vvm. The result is that threads should be a little faster at run time, and a lot faster at compile time. A *LOT* faster at compile time. (Apparently, Verilog XL is still considerably faster, but hey, I'm working on it.)

update to verilog-current-20000409. changes since the last packaged snapshot include: Icarus Verilog 20000326 Snapshot: -------------------------------- The VVM backend rewrite continues. More templates are gone, and the bit functions have been pretty much rewritten. The vvm library now handles bit values with strengths, and most of the devices to the right things with those strengths. The most obvious implication of this is that you can write multiple drivers to a net and expect the values to be properly resolved, and in particular the HiZ value works as it should. So I am well on the way to completing strength modeling support. What is still missing is support for strength specifications in the Verilog source. Although the parser supports the strength related keywords, they are not passed on to elaboration, or used to generate drivers with the proper strengths. So that's in the works. While doing all this VVM rewrite, I've made the generated code considerably smaller. And of course fewer templates are used. The upshot of this is that compiles of larger designs should go a whole lot faster. This is important because people are using Icarus Verilog for increasingly larger designs. On some larger examples, I've achieved more then 3X compile time improvement. Icarus Verilog 20000409 Snapshot: -------------------------------- Named events now work! Event object declarations and trigger statements are fully supported, and blocking on a single event also works. I'm not up to named events in event lists because I'm in the midst of redesigning the way events on nets and regs are implemented. However, the common case works fine, so there you are. I've also added support for some more arithmetic operators. Division and Modulus now work in many contexts, and are not far from working everywhere. Also, comparison operators work in places they used to not. There was a compile error in memory objects that managed to slip through a couple snapshots, that I finally cured. The problem was pretty gross, but somehow not quite tickled by my tests. Oh well. I've integrated some VCD improvements from Anthony Bybell. Some of you recognize the name as the author of GTKWave, so if he says VCD works like so, then that's how VCD works:-) Anyhow, he fixed the VCD output to be more portable, and also a bit smaller when vectors are involved. He also fixed some bugs with multiple calls to $dumpvars.

Update to verilog-current-20000318. Notable changes since the last pkg are (from the snapshot announcement): Parameters are complete. What this means is that I finally got around to supporting defparam, and while I was at it I rewrote the entire parameter handling and added the parameter support included in 1364-2000. I have rewritten major portions of the VVM backend. The vvm_nexus class has been introduced to the fray, and all the device implementations in the VVM library now use the nexus to drive and receive values. An advantage of this scheme is that the t-vvm backend code (in ivl proper) is simpler, and so is the generated C++ code. I also removed most of the template classes. This proved to be a huge compile-time benefit (though compiling twice as fast really only matters for large programs) and it doesn't seem likely to hurt run-time performance. A few remain, either because they seemed harmless (the N-wide logic gates) or I couldn't yet figure out a good way to replace them (vvm_bitset_t). A side benefit of this is that the vvm library may now be a modeling library that ordinary humans can use to write their models in C++. This may provide the unexpected benefit of heading me towards incremental compilation of designs. So who was it who was beating me over the head asking for that?-) I also fixed a few minor problems with the preprocessor. Those of you who reported problems with `includes and `defines should check this out.
