/*
 * This header file describes the API for the loadable target
 * module. The main program can load these modules and access the
 * functions within the loaded module to implement the backend
 * behavior.
 *
 * The interface is divided into two parts: the entry points within
 * the core that are called by the module, and the entry points in
 * the module that are called by the core. It is the latter that
 * causes the module to be invoked in the first place, but most of the
 * interesting information about the design is accessed through the
 * various access functions that the modules calls into the core.
 */


/*
 * In order to grab onto data in the design, the core passes cookies
 * to the various functions of the module. These cookies can in turn
 * be passed to access functions in the core to get more detailed
 * information.
 *
 * The following typedefs list the various cookies that may be passed
 * around.
 *
 * ivl_array_t
 *    This object represent an array that can be a memory or a net
 *    array. (They are the same from the perspective of ivl_target.h.)
 *
 * ivl_design_t
 *    This object represents the entire elaborated design. Various
 *    global properties and methods are available from this.
 *
 * ivl_event_t
 *    This object represents an event node. An event node stands for
 *    named events written explicitly in the Verilog, and net events
 *    that are implicit when @ statements are used.
 *
 * ivl_expr_t
 *    This object represents a node of an expression. If the
 *    expression has sub-expressions, they can be accessed from
 *    various method described below. The ivl_expr_type method in
 *    particular gets the type of the node in the form of an
 *    ivl_expr_type_t enumeration value.
 *
 *    Objects of this type represent expressions in
 *    processes. Structural expressions are instead treated as logic
 *    gates.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_t
 *    This object is the base class for all the various LPM type
 *    device nodes. This object carries a few base properties
 *    (including a type) including a handle to the specific type.
 *
 * ivl_net_logic_t
 *    This object represents various built in logic devices. In fact,
 *    this includes just about every directional device that has a
 *    single output, including logic gates and nmos, pmos and cmos
 *    devices. There is also the occasional Icarus Verilog creation.
 *    What is common about these devices is that they are
 *    bitwise. That is, when fed a vector, they produce a vector
 *    result where each bit of the output is made only from the same
 *    bits in the vector inputs.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_t
 *    Structural links within an elaborated design are connected
 *    together at each bit. The connection point is a nexus, so pins
 *    of devices refer to an ivl_nexus_t. Furthermore, from a nexus
 *    there are backward references to all the device pins that point
 *    to it.
 *
 * ivl_parameter_t
 *    Scopes have zero or more parameter objects that represent
 *    parameters that the source defined. The parameter has a value
 *    that is fully elaborated, with defparams and other parameter
 *    overrides taken care of.
 *
 * ivl_process_t
 *    A Verilog process is represented by one of these. A process may
 *    be an "initial" or an "always" process. These come from initial
 *    or always statements from the Verilog source.
 *
 * ivl_scope_t
 *    Elaborated scopes within a design are represented by this
 *    type. Objects of this type also act as containers for scoped
 *    objects such as signals.
 *
 * ivl_statement_t
 *    Statements within processes are represented by one of these. The
 *    ivl_process_t object holds one of these, but a statement may in
 *    turn contain other statements.
 *
 * -- A Note About Bit Sets --
 * Some objects hold a value as an array of bits. In these cases there
 * is some method that retrieves the width of the value and another
 * that returns a "char*". The latter is a pointer to the least
 * significant bit value. Bit values are represented by the characters
 * '0', '1', 'x' and 'z'. Strengths are stored elsewhere.
 *
 * -- A Note About Names --
 * The names of objects are complete, hierarchical names. That is,
 * they include the instance name of the module that contains them.
 *
 * basenames are the name of the object without the containing
 * scope. These names are unique within a scope, but not necessarily
 * throughout the design.

 *    function returns the value.
 *
 *    The special key "-o" is the argument to the -o flag of the

 *
 * ivl_design_process
 *    This function scans the processes (threads) in the design. It
 *    calls the user supplied function on each of the processes until

 *    scanned. This function will return 0, or the non-zero value that
 *    was returned from the last scanned process.
 *

/* EXPRESSIONS
 *
 * These methods operate on expression objects from the
 * design. Expressions mainly exist in behavioral code. The
 * ivl_expr_type() function returns the type of the expression node,
 * and the remaining functions access value bits of the expression.
 *
 * ivl_expr_signed
 *    This method returns true (!= 0) if the expression node
 *    represents a signed expression. It is possible for sub-
 *    expressions to be unsigned even if a node is signed, but the
 *    IVL core figures all this out for you. At any rate, this method
 *    can be applied to any expression node.
 *
 * ivl_expr_type
 *    Get the type of the expression node. Every expression node has a
 *    type, which can affect how some of the other expression methods
 *    operate on the node
 *
 * ivl_expr_value
 *    Get the data type of the expression node. This uses the variable
 *    type enum to express the type of the expression node.
 *
 * ivl_expr_width
 *    This method returns the bit width of the expression at this
 *    node. It can be applied to any expression node, and returns the
 *    *output* width of the expression node.
 *
 * ivl_expr_parameter
 *    This function returns the ivl_parameter_t object that represents
 *    this object, or 0 (nil) if it is not a parameter value. This
 *    function allows the code generator to detect the case where the
 *    expression is a parameter. This will normally only return a
 *    non-nil value for constants.
 *
 * ivl_expr_opcode
 *    IVL_EX_BINARY and IVL_EX_UNARY expression nodes include an
 *    opcode from this table:
 *              &   -- AND
 *              A   -- NAND (~&)
 *              X   -- XNOR (~^)
 *              *   -- Multiply
 *
 * SEMANTIC NOTES
 *
 * - IVL_EX_ARRAY
 * This expression type is a special case of the IVL_EX_SIGNAL where
 * the target is an array (ivl_signal_t with an array_count) but there
 * is no index expression. This is used only in the special situation
 * where the array is passed to a system task/function. The function
 * ivl_expr_signal returns the ivl_signal_t of the array object, and
 * from that all the properties of the array can be determined.
 *
 * - IVL_EX_BINARY
 *
 * - IVL_EX_SELECT
 * This expression takes two operands, oper1 is the expression to
 * select from, and oper2 is the selection base. The ivl_expr_width
 * value is the width of the bit/part select. The ivl_expr_oper1 value
 * is the base of a vector. The compiler has already figured out any
 * conversion from signal units to vector units, so the result of
 * ivl_expr_oper1 should range from 0 to ivl_expr_width().
 *
 * - IVL_EX_SIGNAL
 * This expression references a signal vector. The ivl_expr_signal
 * function gets a handle for the signal that is referenced. The
 * signal may be an array (see the ivl_signal_array_count function)
 * that is addressed by the expression returned by the ivl_expr_oper1
 * function. This expression returns a *canonical* address. The core
 * compiler already corrected the expression to account for index
 * bases.
 *
 * The ivl_expr_width function returns the vector width of the signal
 * word. The ivl_expr_value returns the data type of the word.
 *
 * Bit and part selects are not done here. The IVL_EX_SELECT
 * expression does bit/part selects on the word read from the signal.
 *
 * - IVL_EX_STRING
 * This expression refers to a string constant. The ivl_expr_string
 * function returns a pointer to the first byte of the string. The
 * compiler has translated it to a "vvp escaped string" which has
 * quoting and escapes eliminated. The string may contain octal
 * escapes (\<oct>) so that the string text returned by
 * ivl_expr_string will only contain graphical characters. It is up to
 * the target to change the escaped \NNN to the proper byte value when
 * using this string. No other escape sequences will appear in the
 * string. Quote (") and slash (\) characters will be delivered in
 * \NNN form.

/* LOGIC
 * These types and functions support manipulation of logic gates. The
 * ivl_logic_t enumeration identifies the various kinds of gates that
 * the ivl_net_logic_t can represent. The various functions then
 * provide access to the bits of information for a given logic device.
 *
 * The ivl_net_logic_t nodes are bit-slice devices. That means that
 * the device may have width (and therefore processes vectors) but
 * each bit slice of the width is independent.
 *
 * ivl_logic_type
 *    This method returns the type of logic gate that the node
 *    represents. The logic type implies the meaning of the various pins.
 *
 * ivl_logic_name (obsolete)
 *    This method returns the complete name of the logic gate. Every
 *    gate has a complete name (that includes the scope) even if the
 *    Verilog source doesn't include one. The compiler will choose one
 *    if necessary.
 *
 * ivl_logic_basename
 *    This is the name of the gate without the scope part.
 *
 * ivl_logic_scope
 *    This is the scope that directly contains the logic device.
 *
 * ivl_logic_pins
 * ivl_logic_pin
 *    Return the nexus for the pin. If two pins are connected
 *    together, then these values are the same. Use the nexus
 *    functions to find other pins that are connected to this nexus.
 *
 * ivl_logic_width
 *    This returns the width of the logic array. This does not affect
 *    the number of pins, but implies the width of the vector at each
 *    pin.
 *
 * ivl_logic_delay
 *    Logic devices have a delay for each transition (0, 1 and Z).
 *
 * ivl_logic_attr (obsolete)
 *    Return the value of a specific attribute, given the key name as
 *    a string. If the key is not defined, then return 0 (null).
 *
 * ivl_logic_attr_cnt
 * ivl_logic_attr_val
 *    These support iterating over logic attributes. The _cnt method
 *    returns the number of attributes attached to the gate, and the
 *    ivl_logic_attr_val returns the value of the attribute.
 *
 * SEMANTIC NOTES
 * The ivl_logic_width applies to all the pins of a logic device. If a
 * logic device has width, that means that it is actually an array of
 * logic devices tha each process a bit slice of the
 * inputs/output. That implies that the widths of all the inputs and
 * the output must be identical.
 *
 * The ivl_logic_width  and ivl_logic_pins are *not* related. A logic
 * device has a number of pins that is the number of inputs to a logic
 * array of identical gates, and the ivl_logic_width, is the width of
 * the vector into each input pin and out of the output pin.
 *
 * The output pin is pin-0. The ivl_logic_driveX functions return the
 * drive strengths for the output pin-0, and match the drive values
 * stored in the ivl_nexus_ptr_t object for the pin.
 *
 * Logic devices have a logic propagation delay. The delay can be any
 * expression, although the most common expression is an IVL_EX_NUMBER
 * for a number value. The expression already includes scaling for the
 * containing module, so the delay value is always taken to be in
 * simulation clock ticks.
 *
 * If the delay is present, then ivl_logic_delay returns a non-nil
 * object. If any of the three delays is present, then all three are
 * present, even if they are all the same. The compiler will translate
 * shorthands into a complete set of delay expressions.
 *
 * The ivl_logic_delay expression will always be an IVL_EX_NUMBER, an
 * IVL_EX_ULONG, or an IVL_EX_SIGNAL. These expressions can easily be
 * used in structural contexts. The compiler will take care of
 * elaborating more complex expressions to nets.
 *
 * - IVL_LO_PULLUP/IVL_LO_PULLDOWN
 * These devices are grouped as logic devices with zero inputs because
 * the outputs have the same characteristics as other logic
 * devices. They are special only in that they have zero inputs, and
 * their drivers typically have strength other than strong.
 *
 * - IVL_LO_UDP
 * User defined primitives (UDPs) are like any other logic devices, in
 * that they are bit-slice devices. If they have a width, then they
 * are repeated to accommodate that width, and that implies that the
 * output and all the inputs must have the same width.
 *
 * The IVL_LO_UDP represents instantiations of UDP devices. The
 * ivl_udp_t describes the implementation.

/* LPM
 * These functions support access to the properties of LPM
 * devices. LPM devices are a variety of devices that handle more
 * complex structural semantics. They are based on EIA LPM standard
 * devices, but vary to suite the technical situation.
 *
 * These are the functions that apply to all LPM devices:
 *
 * ivl_lpm_name (Obsolete)
 * ivl_lpm_basename
 *    Return the name of the device. The name is the name of the
 *    device with the scope part, and the basename is without the scope.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_scope
 *    LPM devices exist within a scope. Return the scope that contains
 *    this device.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_type
 *    Return the ivl_lpm_type_t of the specific LPM device.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_width
 *    Return the width of the LPM device. What this means depends on
 *    the LPM type, but it generally has to do with the width of the
 *    output data path.
 *
 *
 * These functions apply to a subset of the LPM devices, or may have
 * varying meaning depending on the device:
 *
 * ivl_lpm_base
 *    The IVL_LPM_PART objects use this value as the base (first bit)
 *    of the part select. The ivl_lpm_width is the size of the part.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_data
 *    Return the input data nexus for device types that have input
 *    vectors. The "idx" parameter selects which data input is selected.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_datab (ANACHRONISM)
 *    This is the same as ivl_lpm_data(net,1), in other words the
 *    second data input. Use the ivl_lpm_data method instead.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_q
 *    Return the output data nexus for device types that have a single
 *    output vector. This is most devices, it turns out.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_selects
 *    This is the size of the select input for a LPM_MUX device, or the
 *    address bus width of an LPM_RAM.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_signed
 *    Arithmetic LPM devices may be signed or unsigned if there is a
 *    distinction. For some devices this gives the signedness of the
 *    output, but not all devices.
 *
 * ivl_lpm_size
 *    In addition to a width, some devices have a size. The size is
 *    often the number of inputs per out, i.e., the number of inputs
 *    per bit for a MUX.
 *
 * SEMANTIC NOTES
 *
 * - Concatenation (IVL_LPM_CONCAT)
 * These devices take vectors in and combine them to form a single
 * output the width specified by ivl_lpm_width.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_q nexus is the output from the concatenation.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_data function returns the connections for the inputs to
 * the concatentation. The ivl_lpm_size function returns the number of
 * inputs help by the device.
 *
 * - Divide (IVL_LPM_DIVIDE)
 * The divide operators take two inputs and generate an output. The
 * ivl_lpm_width returns the width of the result. The width of the
 * inputs are their own.
 *
 * - Multiply (IVL_LPM_MULT)
 * The multiply takes two inputs and generates an output. Unlike other
 * arithmetic nodes, the width only refers to the output. The inputs
 * have independent widths, to reflect the arithmetic truth that the
 * width of a general multiply is the sum of the widths of the
 * inputs. In fact, the compiler doesn't assure that the widths of the
 * inputs add up to the width of the output, but the possibility
 * exists. It is *not* an error for the sum of the input widths to be
 * more than the width of the output, although the possibility of
 * overflow exists at run time.
 *
 * Multiply may be signed. If so, the output should be sign extended
 * to fill in its result.
 *
 * - Part Select (IVL_LPM_PART_VP and IVL_LPM_PART_PV)
 * There are two part select devices, one that extracts a part from a
 * vector, and another that writes a part of a vector. The _VP is
 * Vector-to-Part, and _PV is Part-to-Vector. The _VP form is meant to
 * model part/bin selects in r-value expressions, where the _PV from
 * is meant to model part selects in l-value nets.
 *
 * In both cases, ivl_lpm_data(0) is the input pin, and ivl_lpm_q is the
 * output. In the case of the _VP device, the vector is input and the
 * part is the output. In the case of the _PV device, the part is the
 * input and the vector is the output.
 *
 * If the base of the part select is non-constant, then
 * ivl_lpm_data(1) is non-nil and is the select, or base, address of
 * the part. If this pin is nil, then the constant base is used
 * instead.
 *
 * Also in both cases, the width of the device is the width of the
 * part. In the _VP case, this is obvious as the output nexus has the
 * part width. In the _PV case, this is a little less obvious, but
 * still correct. The output being written to the wider vector is
 * indeed the width of the part, even though it is written to a wider
 * gate. The target will need to handle this case specially.
 *
 * - Bi-directional Part Select (IVL_LPM_PART_BI)
 * This is not exactly a part select but a bi-directional partial link
 * of two nexa with different widths. This is used to implement tran
 * devices and inout ports in certain cases. The device width is the
 * width of the part. The ivl_lpm_q is the part end, and the
 * ivl_lpm_data(0) is the non-part end.
 *
 * - Comparisons (IVL_LPM_CMP_GT/GE/EQ/NE/EEQ/NEE)
 * These devices have two inputs, available by the ivl_lpm_data()
 * function, and one output available by the ivl_lpm_q function. The
 * output width is always 1, but the ivl_lpm_width() returns the width
 * of the inputs. Both inputs must have the same width.
 *
 * The CMP_GE and CMP_GT nodes may also be signed or unsigned, with
 * the obvious implications. The widths are matched by the compiler
 * (so the target need not worry about sign extension) but when doing
 * magnitude compare, the signedness does matter. In any case, the
 * result of the compare is always unsigned.
 *
 * - Mux Device (IVL_LPM_MUX)
 * The MUX device has a q output, a select input, and a number of data
 * inputs. The ivl_lpm_q output and the ivl_lpm_data inputs all have
 * the width from the ivl_lpm_width() method. The Select input, from
 * ivl_lpm_select, has the width ivl_lpm_selects().
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_data() method returns the inputs of the MUX device. The
 * ivl_lpm_size() method returns the number of data inputs there
 * are. All the data inputs have the same width, the width of the
 * ivl_lpm_q output. The type of the device is devined from the
 * inputs and the Q. All the types must be exactly the same.
 *
 * - D-FlipFlop (IVL_LPM_FF)
 * This data is an edge sensitive register. The ivl_lpm_q output and
 * single ivl_lpm_data input are the same with, ivl_lpm_width. This
 * device carries a vector like other LPM devices.
 *
 * - Memory port (IVL_LPM_RAM) (deprecated in favor of IVL_LPM_ARRAY)
 * These are structural ports into a memory device. They represent
 * address/data ports of a memory device that the context can hook to
 * for read or write. Read devices have an ivl_lpm_q output port that
 * is the data being read.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_memory function returns the ivl_memory_t for the memory
 * that the port access. The ivl_lpm_width for the port then must
 * match the ivl_memory_width of the memory device.
 *
 * Read or write, the ivl_lpm_select nexus is the address. The
 * ivl_lpm_selects function returns the vector width of the
 * address. The range of the address is always from 0 to the memory
 * size-1 -- the canonical form. It is up to the compiler to generate
 * offsets to correct for a range declaration.
 *
 * Read ports use the ivl_lpm_q as the data output, and write ports
 * use the ivl_lpm_data(0) as the input. In either case the width of
 * the vector matches the width of the memory itself.
 *
 * - Reduction operators (IVL_LPM_RE_*)
 * These devices have one input, a vector, and generate a single bit
 * result. The width from the ivl_lpm_width is the width of the input
 * vector.
 *
 * - Repeat Node (IVL_LPM_REPEAT)
 * This node takes as input a single vector, and outputs a single
 * vector. The ivl_lpm_width if this node is the width of the *output*
 * vector. The ivl_lpm_size() returns the number of times the input is
 * repeated to get the desired width. The ivl core assures that the
 * input vector is exactly ivl_lpm_width() / ivl_lpm_size() bits.
 *
 * - Sign Exend (IVL_LPM_SIGN_EXT)
 * This node takes a single input and generates a single output. The
 * input must be signed, and the output will be a vector sign extended
 * to the desired width. The ivl_lpm_width() value is the output
 * width, the input will be whatever it wants to be.
 *
 * - Shifts (IVL_LPM_SHIFTL/SHIFTR)
 * This node takes two inputs, a vector and a shift distance. The
 * ivl_lpm_data(0) nexus is the vector input, and the ivl_lpm_data(1)
 * the shift distance. The vector input is the same width as the
 * output, but the distance has its own width.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_signed() flag means for IVL_LPM_SHIFTR that the right
 * shift is *signed*. For SHIFTL, then signed-ness is emaningless.
 *
 * - System function call (IVL_LPM_SFUNC)
 * This device represents a netlist call to a system function. The
 * inputs to the device are passed to a system function, and the
 * result is sent via the output. The ivl_lpm_q function returns the
 * output nexus.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_size function returns the number of arguments, and the
 * ivl_lpm_data(net,N) returns the nexa for the argument.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_string(net) function returns the name of the system
 * function (i.e. "$display") that was found in the source code. The
 * compiler does little checking of that name.
 *
 * - User Function Call (IVL_LPM_UFUNC)
 * This device is special as it represents a call to a user defined
 * function (behavioral code) within a netlist. The inputs to the
 * function are connected to the net, as is the output.
 *
 * The function definition is associated with a scope, and the
 * ivl_lpm_define fuction returns the scope that is that definition.
 * See the ivl_scope_* fuctions for how to get at the actual
 * definition.
 *
 * As with many LPM nodes, the ivl_lpm_q function returns the nexus
 * for the signal function return value. The width of this nexus must
 * exactly match the width of the device from ivl_lpm_width.
 *
 * The ivl_lpm_data function retrives the nexa for all the input
 * ports. The ivl_lpm_size function returns the number of inputs for
 * the device, and the ivl_lpm_data() function index argument selects
 * the port to retrieve. Each port is sized independently.

/* LVAL
 * The l-values of assignments are concatenation of ivl_lval_t
 * objects. Each lvi_lval_t object is an assignment to a var or a
 * memory, through a bit select, part select or word select.
 *
 * Var lvals are things like assignments to a part select or a bit
 * select. Assignment to the whole variable is a special case of a
 * part select, as is a bit select with a constant expression.
 *
 * ivl_lval_width
 *    The width of a vector that this lval can receive. This accounts
 *    for the local part selecting I might to in the lval object, as
 *    well as the target object width.
 *
 * ivl_lval_mux
 *    If the l-value includes a bit select expression, this method
 *    returns an ivl_expr_t that represents that
 *    expression.  Otherwise, it returns 0.
 *
 *    (Should this be combined with ivl_lval_idx? -Ed)
 *
 * ivl_lval_mem (deprecated)
 *    If the l-value is a memory, this method returns an
 *    ivl_memory_t that represents that memory. Otherwise, it
 *    returns 0.
 *
 * ivl_lval_sig
 *    If the l-value is a variable, this method returns the signal
 *    object that is the target of the assign.
 *
 * ivl_lval_part_off
 *    The part select of the signal is based here. This is the
 *    canonical index of bit-0 of the part select. The return value is
 *    an ivl_expr_t. If the return value is nil, then take the offset
 *    as zero. Otherwise, evaluate the expression to get the offset.
 *
 * ivl_lval_idx
 *    If the l-value is a memory, this method returns an
 *    ivl_expr_t that represents the index expression.  Otherwise, it
 *    returns 0.
 *
 * SEMANTIC NOTES
 * The ivl_lval_width is not necessarily the same as the width of the
 * signal or memory word it represents. It is the width of the vector
 * it receives and assigns. This may be less then the width of the
 * signal (or even 1) if only a part of the l-value signal is to be
 * assigned.
 *
 * The ivl_lval_part_off is the canonical base of a part or
 * bit select.
 *
 * - Memory words (Replace this with Array words below)
 * If the l-value is a memory word, the ivl_lval_mem function returns
 * a non-nil value. The ivl_lval_idx function will return an
 * expression that calculates an address for the memory. The compiler
 * will assure that the ivl_lval_width will exactly match the
 * ivl_memory_width of the memory word.
 *
 * - Array words
 * If the l-value is an array, then ivl_lval_idx function will return
 * an expression that calculates the address of the array word. If
 * the referenced signal has more than one word, this expression must
 * be present. If the signal has exactly one word (it is not an array)
 * then the ivl_lval_idx exression must *not* be present.
 *
 * For array words, the ivl_lval_width is the width of the word.

/* NEXUS
 * connections of signals and nodes is handled by single-bit
 * nexus. These functions manage the ivl_nexus_t object. They also
 * manage the ivl_nexus_ptr_t objects that are closely related to the
 * nexus.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_name
 *    Each nexus is given a name, typically derived from the signals
 *    connected to it, but completely made up if need be. The name of
 *    every nexus is unique.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptrs
 *    This function returns the number of pointers that are held by
 *    the nexus. It should always return at least 1. The pointer
 *    proper is accessed by index.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr
 *    Return a nexus pointer given the nexus and an index.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_set_private
 * ivl_nexus_get_private
 *    The target module often needs to associate data with a nexus for
 *    later use when the nexus is encountered associated with a
 *    device. These methods allow the code generator to store to or
 *    retrieve from a nexus a void* of private data. This pointer is
 *    guaranteed to be 0 before the target module is invoked.
 *
 * Once an ivl_nexus_ptr_t is selected by the ivl_nexus_ptr method,
 * the properties of the pointer can be accessed by the following
 * methods:
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_pin
 *    This returns the pin number of the device where this nexus
 *    points. It is the bit within the signal or logic device that is
 *    connected to the nexus.
 *
 *    If the target is an LPM device, then this value is zero, and it
 *    is up to the application to find the pin that refers to this
 *    nexus. The problem is that LPM devices do not have a pinout per
 *    se, the pins all have specific names.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_con
 *    If this is a pointer to a magic constant device, then this
 *    returns the net_const object.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_drive0
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_drive1
 *    These are the 0 and 1 strength values for the devices. For most
 *    devices, these values are fixed by the description in the
 *    original source, with the default as IVL_DR_STRONG. For pins
 *    that are input only, drive0 and drive1 are both IVL_DR_HiZ.
 *
 *    The strength of strength-aware devices (such as nmos devices)
 *    does not really matter, as long at the output is not
 *    IVL_DR_HiZ. Testing for HiZ drivers is how code generators
 *    detect inputs.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_log
 *    If the target object is an ivl_net_logic_t, this method returns
 *    the object. Otherwise, this method returns 0.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_lpm
 *    If the target object is an ivl_lpm_t, this method returns the
 *    object. Otherwise, this method returns 0.
 *
 * ivl_nexus_ptr_sig
 *    If the target object is an ivl_signal_t, this method returns the
 *    object. If the target is not a signal, this method returns 0.
 *
 * SEMANTIC NOTES
 * All the device pins that connect to a nexus have the same
 * type. That means, for example, that vector pins have the same
 * width. The compiler will insure this is so.

/* SCOPE
 * Scopes of various sort have these properties. Use these methods to
 * access them. Scopes come to exist in the elaborated design
 * generally when a module is instantiated, though they also come from
 * named blocks, tasks and functions.
 *
 * - module instances (IVL_SCT_MODULE)
 *    A module instance scope may contain events, logic gates, lpm
 *    nodes, signals, and possibly children. The children are further
 *    instances, or function/task scopes. Module instances do *not*
 *    contain a definition.
 *
 * - function scopes (IVL_SCT_FUNCTION)
 *    These scopes represent functions. A function may not be a root,
 *    so it is contained within a module instance scope. A function is
 *    required to have a definition (in the form of a statement) and a
 *    signal (IVL_SIG_REG) that is its return value.
 *
 *    A single function scope is created each time the module with the
 *    definition is instantiated.
 *
 *
 * - task scopes (IVL_SCT_TASK)
 *    [...]
 *
 * ivl_scope_attr_cnt
 * ivl_scope_attr_val
 *    A scope may have attributes attached to it. These functions
 *    allow the target to access the attributes values.
 *
 * ivl_scope_children
 *    A scope may in turn contain other scopes. This method iterates
 *    through all the child scopes of a given scope. If the function
 *    returns any value other than 0, the iteration stops and the
 *    method returns that value. Otherwise, iteration continues until
 *    the children run out.
 *
 *    If the scope has no children, this method will return 0 and
 *    otherwise do nothing.
 *
 * ivl_scope_def
 *    Task definition scopes carry a task definition, in the form of
 *    a statement. This method accesses that definition. The
 *    ivl_scope_def function must return a statement for scopes that
 *    are type FUNCTION or TASK, and must return nil otherwise.
 *
 * ivl_scope_event
 * ivl_scope_events
 *    Scopes have 0 or more event objects in them.
 *
 * ivl_scope_var
 * ivl_scope_vars
 *    REMOVED
 *
 * ivl_scope_log
 * ivl_scope_logs
 *    Scopes have 0 or more logic devices in them. A logic device is
 *    represented by ivl_logic_t.
 *
 * ivl_scope_lpm
 * ivl_scope_lpms
 *    Scopes have 0 or more LPM devices in them. These functions access
 *    those devices.
 *
 * ivl_scope_name
 * ivl_scope_basename
 *    Every scope has a hierarchical name. This name is also a prefix
 *    of all the names of objects contained within the scope. The
 *    ivl_scope_basename is the name of the scope without the included
 *    hierarchy.
 *
 * ivl_scope_param
 * ivl_scope_params
 *    A scope has zero or more named parameters. These parameters have
 *    a name and an expression value.
 *
 * ivl_scope_parent
 *    If this is a non-root scope, then the parent is the scope that
 *    contains this scope. Otherwise, the parent is nil.
 *
 * ivl_scope_port
 * ivl_scope_ports
 *    Scopes that are functions or tasks have ports defined by
 *    signals. These methods access the ports by name.
 *
 *    If this scope represents a function, then the ports list
 *    includes the return value, as port 0. The remaining ports are
 *    the input ports in order.
 *
 * ivl_scope_sig
 * ivl_scope_sigs
 *    Scopes have 0 or more signals in them. These signals are
 *    anything that can become and ivl_signal_t, include synthetic
 *    signals generated by the compiler.
 *
 * ivl_scope_time_precision
 *    Scopes have their own intrinsic time precision, typically from
 *    the timescale compiler directive. This method returns the
 *    precision as a signed power of 10 value.
 *
 * ivl_scope_time_units
 *    Scopes have their own intrinsic time units, typically from the
 *    timescale compiler directive. This method returns the units as a
 *    signed power of 10 value.
 *
 * ivl_scope_type
 * ivl_scope_tname
 *    Scopes have a type and a type name. For example, if a scope is
 *    an instance of module foo, its type is IVL_SCT_MODULE and its
 *    type name is "foo". This is different from the instance name
 *    returned by ivl_scope_name above.

/* SIGNALS
 * Signals are named things in the Verilog source, like wires and
 * regs, and also named things that are created as temporaries during
 * certain elaboration or optimization steps. A signal may also be a
 * port of a module or task.
 *
 * Signals have a name (obviously) and types. A signal may also be
 * signed or unsigned.
 *
 * ivl_signal_nex
 *    This is the nexus of the signal. This is used for managing
 *    connections to the rest of the net. There is exactly one pin for
 *    each word of a signal. Each word may in turn be a vector. The
 *    word address is the zero-based index for the word. It is up to
 *    the context to translate different bases to the canonical address.
 *
 * ivl_signal_array_base
 * ivl_signal_array_count
 *    The signal may be arrayed. If so, the array_count is >1. Each
 *    word of the array has its own nexus. The array_base is the
 *    address is the Verilg source for the canonical zero word. This
 *    may be negative, positive or zero.
 *
 *    Note that arraying of the signal into words is distinct from the
 *    vectors. The width of a signal is the width of a WORD.
 *
 * ivl_signal_dimensions
 *    The signal may be an array (of vectors) in which case this
 *    function returns >0, the number of dimensions of the array.
 *
 * ivl_signal_msb
 * ivl_signal_lsb
 * ivl_signal_width
 *    These functions return the left and right indices, respectively,
 *    of the signal. If the signal is a scalar, both return 0. However,
 *    it doesn't mean that the signal is a scalar if both return 0, one
 *    can have a vector with 0 as both indices.
 *
 * ivl_signal_port
 *    If the signal is a port to a module, this function returns the
 *    port direction. If the signal is not a port, it returns
 *    IVL_SIP_NONE.
 *
 * ivl_signal_signed
 *    A signal, which is a vector, may be signed. In Verilog 2000, any
 *    net or variable may be signed. This function returns true if the
 *    signal is signed.
 *
 * ivl_signal_local
 *    A signal that was generated by the compiler as a place holder is
 *    marked as local.
 *
 * ivl_signal_type
 *    Return the type of the signal, i.e., reg, wire, tri0, etc.
 *
 * ivl_signal_data_type
 *    Return the data type of the signal, i.e. logic, real, bool,
 *    etc. All the signals connected to a nexus should have the same
 *    data type
 *
 * ivl_signal_npath
 * ivl_signal_path
 *    This function returns the delay path object for the signal. The
 *    delay path has this signal as the output, the source is attached
 *    to the delay path itself.
 *
 * ivl_signal_name (DEPRECATED)
 *    This function returns the fully scoped hierarchical name for the
 *    signal. The name refers to the entire vector that is the signal.
 *
 *    NOTE: This function is deprecated. The hierarchical name is too
 *    vague a construct when escaped names can have . characters in
 *    them. Do no use this function in new code, it will disappear.
 *
 * ivl_signal_basename
 *    This function returns the name of the signal, without the scope
 *    information. This is the tail of the signal name. Since Verilog
 *    has an escape syntax, this name can contain any ASCII
 *    characters, except NULL or white space. The leading \ and
 *    trailing ' ' of escaped names in Verilog source are not part of
 *    the name, so not included here.
 *
 * ivl_signal_attr
 *    Icarus Verilog supports attaching attributes to signals, with
 *    the attribute value (a string) associated with a key. This
 *    function returns the attribute value for the given key. If the
 *    key does not exist, the function returns 0.

 *
 * FUNCTION SUMMARY:
 *
 * ivl_stmt_block_scope
 *    If the block is named, then there is a scope associated with
 *    this. The code generator may need to know this in order to
 *    handle disable statements.
 *
 * ivl_stmt_events
 * ivl_stmt_nevent
 *    Statements that have event arguments (TRIGGER and WAIT) make
 *    those event objects available through these methods.
 *
 * ivl_stmt_lval
 * ivl_stmt_lvals
 *    Return the number of l-values for an assignment statement, or
 *    the specific l-value. If there is more than 1 l-value, then the
 *    l-values are presumed to be vector values concatenated together
 *    from msb (idx==0) to lsb.
 *
 * ivl_stmt_rval
 *    Return the rval expression of the assignment. This is the value
 *    that is to be calculated and assigned to the l-value in all the
 *    assignment statements.
 *
 * ivl_stmt_sub_stmt
 *    Some statements contain a single, subordinate statement. An
 *    example is the IVL_ST_WAIT, which contains the statement to be
 *    executed after the wait completes. This method retrieves that
 *    sub-statement.
 *
 * SEMANTIC NOTES:
 *
 * - Assignments: IVL_ST_ASSIGN, IVL_ST_ASSIGN_NB, IVL_CASSIGN, IVL_ST_FORCE
 *
 * The assignments support ivl_stmt_rval to get the r-value expression
 * that is to be assign to the l-value, and ivl_stmt_lval[s] to get
 * the l-value that receives the value. The compiler has already made
 * sure that the types (l-value and r-value) are compatible.
 *
 * If the l-value is a vector, then the compiler also makes sure the
 * expression width of the r-values matches. It handles padding or
 * operator sizing as needed to get the width exactly right.
 *
 * The blocking and non-blocking assignments may also have an internal
 * delay. These are of the form "lval = #<delay> rval;" and <delay> is
 * the internal delay expression. (It is internal because it is inside
 * the statement.) The ivl_stmt_delay_expr function returns the
 * expression for the delay, or nil if there is no delay expression.
 *
 * - IVL_ST_CASSIGN
 * This reflects a procedural continuous assignment to an l-value. The
 * l-value is the same as any other assignment (use ivl_stmt_lval).
 *
 * The value to be assigned is an ivl_expr_t retrieved by the
 * ivl_stmt_rval function. The run time is expected to calculate the
 * value of the expression at the assignment, then continuous assign
 * that constant value. If the expression is non-constant, the code
 * generator is supposed to know what to do about that, too.
 *
 * - IVL_ST_DELAY, IVL_ST_DELAYX
 * These statement types are delay statements. They are a way to
 * attach a delay to a statement. The ivl_stmt_sub_stmt() function
 * gets the statement to be executed after the delay. If this is
 * IVL_ST_DELAY, then the ivl_stmt_delay_val function gets the
 * constant delay. If this is IVL_ST_DELAYX, then the
 * ivl_stmt_delay_expr gets the expression of the delay. In this case,
 * the expression is not necessarily constant.
 *
 * Whether constant or calculated, the resulting delay is in units of
 * simulation ticks. The compiler has already taken care of converting
 * the delay to the time scale/precision of the scope.
 *
 * - IVL_ST_FORCE
 * This is very much like IVL_ST_CASSIGN, but adds that l-values can
 * include nets (tri, wire, etc). Memory words are restricted from
 * force l-values, and also non-constant bit or part selects. The
 * compiler will assure these constraints are met.
 *
 * - IVL_ST_TRIGGER
 * This represents the "-> name" statement that sends a trigger to a
 * named event. The ivl_stmt_nevent function should always return 1,
 * and the ivl_stmt_events(net,0) function returns the target event,
 * as an ivl_event_t. The only behavior of this statement is to send a
 * "trigger" to the target event.
 *
 * - IVL_ST_WAIT
 * This is the edge sensitive wait (for event) statement. The
 * statement contains an array of events that are to be tested, and a
 * single statement that is to be executed when any of the array of
 * events triggers.
 *
 * the ivl_stmt_events function accesses the array of events to wait
 * for, and the ivl_stmt_sub_stmt function gets the sub-statement,
 * which may be null, that is to be executed when an event
 * triggers. The statement waits even if the sub-statement is nul.

/* target_design

   The "target_design" function is called once after the whole design
   is processed and available to the target. The target doesn't return
   from this function until it is finished with the design.

   The return value of this function should normally be zero. If the
   code generator detects errors, however, then the code generator
   returns a positive number to indicate the approximate number of
   errors detected (before it gave up.) Return values <0 are reserved
   for system and infrastructure errors.

   This function is implemented in the loaded target, and not in the
   ivl core. This function is how the target module is invoked. */
