- #(295) - Correct a parse bug in an associated-array initialization statement
involving scoped identifiers.
- #(291) - Correct an indexer crash when the argument file contains a directory
path rather than a file path. The indexer now ignores the directory path, and

include files from being repeatedly processed. In the new scheme,
after initial processing of an include file, subsequent inclusions of
that file simply bring in the macros previously defined.
- #(nobug) - Correct a line-number issue with the 'new' index. `ifdef/`ifndef
directives caused the line number to incorrectly be incremented

to include directories incorrectly being marked as 'missing'
- #(nobug) - Correct a bug in the 'new' indexer that caused some cached items
to not be resolved back to their actual items. This could result in NPEs
when performing content-assist or open declaration operations

to filter out redundant build requests and wait until post-import
refresh is complete before kicking off index builds.
- #(nobug) - Correct an issue with the 'new' indexer that caused some items
declared by `included files to be shown in the Outline view of the
active file. Items declared in `included files are now filtered out of the
outline view.

to bracket characters in comments. The bracket-matching code now uses
the same comment-region-aware scanner used by the content-assist utilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

created to manage a file that is otherwise not managed by an index.
Previously, this index collected all SV files in the target directory
and indexed them. Now, this index only manages the target file. This should
result in less ambiguity as to which files are actually managed by an
explicit index.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- (#3432503) Correct lexing bug involving underscore-containing decimal literals
- (#3433089) Correct parser bug involving event-delayed assignment (a <= @(posedge clk) 10)
- Add beginnings of a 'batch' plug-in to facilitate accessing SVEditor functionality
from scripts. Currently python scripts are supported.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea11 Release --
- (#3427965) Add parse support for extern constraint declarations
- (#3426561) Environment Variables in files.f. Corrected the file parser to
get environment variables from Project Properties > Resource > Linked
Resources > Path Variables
- (#3429943) Array of module instances - now doesn't flag an error when
parsing code. Ports are parsed correctly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea10 Release --
- Hook up Tab Width preference to override default Eclipse behavior of
always translating a tab to 4 spaces
- Correct a bug involving single-line macros with a trailing comment. Correct
behavior in this case is to trim the comment, while correct behavior in the
multi-line case is to preserve the comments.
- Track include files that cannot be located and only search once for them.
This should improve the parse speed
- Correct a parse bug with delays involving a hierarchical identifier. For example:
#a.b;
- Hook up the Eclipse Linked Path Variable manager, which enables to user to
define variables using Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked Resources,
then refer to them in a .f file or other path used by SVEditor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea09 Release --
- Add basic auto-indent support at block level for property and sequence
- Add complete set of ignored arguments for Questa vlog compiler
- Change implementation of the IndexIterator override that ensures that
content-assist proprosals from the unsaved content of the active file are
properly supplied. This fixes a bug that was introduced with the addition
of a declaration cache.
- Small improvements to property parsing
- Correct bug with Function/Task override dialog and functions with an
implicit return type. These functions are now properly implemented.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea08 Release --
- Correct a bug with the global definition cache locating typedefs within
a package. This was producing a null-pointer exception when content
assist was invoked on a typedef.
- Enhanced parsing of assertions and sequences. Still incomplete, but much better
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea07 Release --
- Correct a bug with sub-including argument files. The Index was improperly
prepending the index base location to the argument file.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea06 Release --
- Correct bug involving content-assist on a field whose type was also a
forward-declaration typedef (eg typedef class my_class;). Content assist
correctly now filters out the forward declarations when searching for
the target type
- (#3410621) Add support for `elsif pre-processor directive
- Correct bugs involving content assist on begin/end-block-local variables
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.6.1.ea05 Release --
- Correct an auto-indent bug with an initial statement with a single statement
(not a block)
- Correct an auto-indent bug with struct and union variables
- Correct content-assist issue with scopes within interfaces and modules
- (#3404198) Correct a parse bug with task/function calls having unspecified
(default) parameters
- (#3232422) Correct auto-complete issue with labeling end of blocks
- Correct parse errors with empty named-mapped task/function parameters:
function void foo(int a=2, int b=3);
...
foo(.a(), .b()); // same as foo(2, 3) or foo()
- (#3404207) Correct open-declaration support for struct and union fields
- Add support for argument files that sub-include argument files using the
-f argument (eg -f sub_argument_file.f)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

static method invocation
-- 0.6.1.ea02 Release --
- (#3392156) Correct a parse bug with time unit 's'
- (#3392155) Implement parse support for stream operators (eg { << {...}})
- Add a "Global-Declaration Cache" to the index. This permits searching for
global types (classes, modules, interfaces, functions, packages) without
iterating through the entire index data structures.
The global declaration cache is stored along with the index persistence
data, and enables operations such as content assist and open declaration
to be much faster.
- Enhance content assist to search within begin/end scopes -- for example:
initial begin
class_type e;
e.field<>
end
- Correct a bug with content assist using task/function parameters. For example:
task my_task(class_type param);
param.field<>
endtask
- (#3392730) Correct bug in lexing strings containing parens
- (#3392170) Correct bug with generate blocks containing named begin/end blocks
- (#3392161) Correct bug involving strings with embedded comments and backslashes

class c;
enum {A, B, C} enum_field;
endclass
-- 0.6.1.ea01 Release --
- Re-release of 0.6.0.ea10. Looks like Eclipse thinks version 'ea10' is less than 'ea9'
- (#3358145) Enhance parser to accept attributes on task/function calls
- (#3362302) Multi-dimensional array parse error (string my_string[][2];)
- (#3354142) Enable module-port-connection content assist when only '.' is
specified

- Correct open-declaration for super-class reference
-- 0.6.0.ea1 Release --
- Enhance SVEditor to make two time-consuming startup tasks
(index-afinity discovery and file parse) threaded operations.
This has the effect of making SVEditor open more quickly.
- Major changes to the parser. Nearly all SystemVerilog constructs
are fully parsed. Previously, many were lexically processed via
a scanner.
- Use a backing cache for files in the index. This permits faster
startup time, and should be more scalable, since the database need
not be entirely in memory
-- 0.4.0 Release --
- (#3181880) Critical bug related to restructuring of the SVDB
- Corrected a bug with the Outline view, also due to SVDB restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.9 Release --
- Correct a problem with the SVEditor Outline view that prevented the viewer
from updating in response to on-the-fly changes in the editor.
- Correct parse bug related to pre- and post- increment/decrement expressions
- (#3176354) Update parser to correctly support all gate-level primitives
- (#3177127) Correct a problem with relative include paths that extend above
the workspace location.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.7 Release --
- Fix bugs in build of 'Developer Docs' plugin-in
- Enable handling of enum forward-declaration in the parser
- (#3153829) Change 'shadow' SourceCollection index, which is created when a file outside
an existing index is opened, to only index sources in the top-level directory.
- Update the file-finding code (used by SourceCollection) to identify and
skip excluded directories. This makes search more efficient.
Should resolve (#3152333)
- Change the marker-propagation mechanism to work properly when triggered via
a file-change event. This should result in more-reliable error propagation.
This appears to resolve (#3154474)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.6 Release --
- Integrate the current 'Getting Started' guide into the Eclipse help system.
- Add initial "SVEditor Internals" documentation -- for now, just the
JavaDoc-created API document.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.5 Release --
- Improve support for parsing and preserving import statements. Imports are
parsed and represented in the AST, as well as being shown in the Outline view.
This improved support also resolves issue #3135375.
- Add Initial Eclipse Search support. Search can now be accessed via the
Search->SystemVerilog menu item (or, alternatively, the SystemVerilog tab
on the Search dialog).
- Searching for declarations is supported (reference search unsupported)
- Searching for Types, Methods, Packages, and Fields supported
- The 'List' format for search results has reasonable support, while the
'Tree' format is mostly unimplemented
- Change SVDBLocation to track line position in addition to line number.
- Implement styled text for label providers. The effect of this change can be
observed in the Outline view. Field types and function return types are now
displayed with different styling than the name of the function/field.
- [Internal API] Update the ISVDBItemIterator interface to support contextual
scanning. This allows the client to, for example, scan to the next package
declaration without seeing all elements in between.
- Add a version to the saved parse database. This enables a better message to
the user when a new SVEditor version chooses to rebuild a database due to
a format difference.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.4 Release --
- Add parse support for 'defparam'
- (#3135411) Correct auto-indent bug in moving a non-whitespace line down.
- Correct auto-indent bug involving leading whitespace when moving a
line down the page.

shortcut
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.3 Release --
- (#3124078) Resolve parse error with delayed assign
- Correct a bug with the Library Index related to relative include paths
that extend outside the project directory.
- (#3115121) Enable 'Open Declaration' for updir-relative include paths
(eg `include "../../../my_h.svh").
- Parser/scanner now parses through more of the behavioral block statements. Since
there are many SystemVerilog statements that don't end with a ';', this makes
parsing more reliable.
- Correct parse errors discovered when adding tests based on OpenCores projects
- Correct a parse error with 'if' statements attached to an always.
Enhanced parser to begin parsing through behavioral statements
- Enhanced parser to allow initialized nets
- Correct parser bug with reduction operators in expressions

in the expansion text
- (#3123564) Fix parse error with import statements prior to the module
port declaration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.2 Release --
- (#3118954) Correct a parse error with sized references to an enum type
- (#3118954) Correct a problem parsing content after a package declaration
- (#3118945) Add a filter to the editor to gracefully deal with files that
contain \r-delimited lines. Generally, this results when a file created on
the Windows OS is mangled in some form. \r-delimited lines will be
automatically transformed to \r\n-delimited lines and a message will be
displayed in the console.
- Fix an issue with FileSystem indexing, where adding a new file to the
FileSystem and attempting to open it causes the index to report that
the file "isn't in the FileTree Map". Solve by re-building the index
whenever a file is opened that exists on the FileSystem but isn't in the
FileTreeMap
- (#3121178) Correct a windows-path issue that caused an opened file to
be associated with the wrong index, and consequently an internal error.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.1 Release --
- (#2970554) Correct a crash due to a missing file when debug logging was
enabled.
- (#3031087) Support CTRL+SHIFT+F binding for formatting file
- Correct indenting of always_comb, always_latch, and always_ff blocks
- (#3118081) Correct paste bug related to always_comb
- (#3118472) Correct outdent bug with empty enum declaration.
- Correct a bug when pasting text that does not end with a newline. Previously,
the last token of the pasted text (eg endmodule) would often be dropped.
Interestingly enough, this bug was being masked by a bug in the test
results comparison.
- Support proper indent of forward typedef enum (eg typedef enum A;)
- (#3118342) Added a workaround for interoperatbility of tabs and spaces in
'insert-spaces' mode. It seems Eclipse tries to be 'smart' and insert
fewer spaces based on the number of preceeding tabs on the line. For example,
if the line starts with 1 tab, then a subsequent space-inserting tab will
only insert 3 spaces. If the line starts with 2 tabs, then only two
spaces will be inserted.
- (#3118464) Corrected a problem with content assist in an empty file
- (#3115123) Initial implementation of Add/Remove Block Comment operations.
CTRL+SHIFT+/ comments selected block, while CTRL+SHIFT+\ uncomments block
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.3.0 Release --
- Correct parse errors with assignment expressions containing complement (~)
and system tasks (eg $abs(a))
- Correct a bug with indenting of nested modules
- (#3110581) Enable use of indenting-related preferences in the
General->Editors->Text Editors category. Now, indent and auto-indent respect
the 'Insert spaces for tabs' preference and use the 'Displayed tab width'
preference to select how many spaces to indent.
- (#3115322) Fix a problem with the pre-processor that prevented files with
unbalanced pre-processor conditionals from being opened
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.9 Release --
- Initial parse support for generate blocks (for, if, case)
- Correct some issues with handling of clocking blocks. SVEditor is still
skipping over the clocking-block content, but should result in fewer
parse mistakes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.8 Release --
- Correct problems with expansion of environment variables in argument-file
paths
- Correct problem with content assist on indexed array/queue fields
- Correct module-port parse bugs

- interface ports with multi-dimension vectors
- sized parameters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.7 Release --

open in an instance of SVEditor. Now, an error is emited and a cast class
is avoided.
- Correct bugs around auto-indent of pasted content
- Correct bug with indent of if/else when begin is on a new line
- Correct a problem with adaptive indent when the end point for adaptive
training is a comment.
- Correct bug with pre-processor. Macro-embedded conditionals are now properly
supported
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.6 Release --
- Correct a content-assist bug related to array and queue data types (#3046751)
The cause was a parser bug that caused Array and Queue data types to not be
tagged properly.
- Correct a content-assist bug with method-containing expressions, such as
field.task_call().<>.
- Improved the Indenter to handle adaptive indent in a more-flexible and
more-reliable manner
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.5 Release --
- Correct problem with setting cursor location of Open Declaration (#3034640)
- Correct problems with compare and dump methods in the new TypeInfo classes.
These caused problems with index loading (#3034574 and #3034577)
- Correct parse bugs with module ports
- Untyped ports with specified directions
- Modports: module foo(. mp);
- Correct argument-file include-path resolution order. Now, if an
identically-named file exists in multiple include directories, the correct
file (first found, traversing the include paths in order) will
be included and used.
- Removed a dangling reference to the 'SystemVerilog Methodology Class'
wizard, which is a wizard for creating class templates that are specific
to a methodology, such as OVM or VMM. This wizard was still accessible
via the main menu 'New' menu, which should not be the case until this
work is complete.
- Add support for always variants (always_comb, always_iff, always_latch)
- Correct content-assist issue (#3038561) when document length is 0
- Update function-override logic to tag overridden virtual tasks/functions
with 'virtual'
- Correct an indent problem with comment blocks. Comment lines following
the initial line were incorrectly indented
- Need to push a provisional indent when entering a scope. This provisional
indent can be altered later when a non-comment element is detected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.4 Release --
- Correct parse bugs with module parameters
- empty parameter list
- parameter declaration inside module
- Add parse support for locally-defined parameters
- Add parse support for typed-net elements
- Add basic parse support for nested interfaces and nested modules
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.2.3 Release --
- Add additional tests for references to project-external paths from
argument file project paths
- Correct a bug with argument-file include paths having a trailing '/'.
For example: +incdir+../../../
- Correct bugs in project-external relative paths specified in an
argument file project path
- Correct a bug with module parsing that caused content assist to not be
triggered very near the end of the module, due to an expected parse error
- Updated the content-assist scanner to be aware of comments within the
source. This prevents content in a comment from interfering with
content assist.
- Correct a reference to the 'expression' Eclipse plug-in that prevented
SVEditor from installing in some Eclipse versions. The 'expression' plug-in
reference is now un-versioned.
- Add basic scanner support (ignore) for clocking blocks
- Add basic scanner support (ignore) for modports
- Fix bug with parsing of always expression. The new parser that markes
parse errors made it apparent that there was a problem
- Correct parse bug with 'virtual interface' datatype
- Correct bug with handling of empty constraint block (#3031558)
- Correct bug with labeled covergroup
- Correct parsing of [net_type] [type_or_implicit] [elem]
- Update lexer to recognize time-unit constants
- Restored support for package Open Declaration from an import
-- 0.2.2 Release --
- Support content assist for SystemVerilog keywords
- Fix bugs, introduced by the new parser, in support for covergroup
content assist and added tests
- Enhance the Project Explorer with a Project Paths entry that allows the
directory structure of indexes (workspace internal and external) to be
browsed. This makes it significantly easier to open a file that is part
of an index that is outside the filesystem. It also makes it easier to
see what is present in the index paths of a project.
- Enhanced Argument File index to support argument files that reference
paths outside the workspace. An example of this case is shown in the
OVM 'xbus' example. The example project is 'xbus', but the argument file
in the project references the OVM library several directory levels
above -- outside the project directory.
- Enhance support for content assist in 'module' context
- Ensure ports are parsed
- Search ports (same as function parameters) when searching up for
content-assist proposals
-- 0.2.1 Release --
- Corrected a pretty severe auto-indent bug related to pasting the opening
(and not closing) portion of a multi-line comment. Now SVEditor does not
attempt to auto-indent cases where newly-pasted content makes comment
boundaries ambiguous
- Correct a bug with hierarchy-based navigation (ie Open Declaration) that
caused navigation history to not be maintained properly
- Extensive changes to the parsing framework, which will example improvements
to the accuracy and extent of parsing.
- Extended content assist to structs -- both typedef and inline-decl
- Extended content assist to comprehend extern functions and search the
corresponding class scope
- Annotate editor with error markers from the parser. For now, this should
be helpful in understanding where the parser is encountering parser errors.
As the parser adds features, this should be a useful tool for SystemVerilog
developers.
-- 0.2.0 Release --
- Add basic support for code templates. Currently, no built-in code templates
are provided, though contributions are very welcome. Suggestions for
extending code-template support are, likewise, welcome.
-- 0.1.9 Release --
- Correct a macro-expansion bug with nested macros that was triggered
by the VMM library source
- Correct a bug with handling of endfunction/endtask with a end label
-- 0.1.8 Release --
- Make auto-indenter adaptive to surrounding scope indent. This means that
if class methods have the same indent as the class scope (aligned to margin),
the auto-identer will indent the method body statements one tab in from the
margin.
- Corrected a bug with auto-indent paste and strings with embedded
control characters. In this situation, the pasted content would 'disappear'.
- Enhance content-assist when editing parameterized classes by searching
class parameters as a data-type
- Enable full-file indent via CTRL-I. Previously, this operation was diabled.
- Resolved a bug in auto-indent scanner that caused some combinations of
empty lines to be collapsed into one
- Filter __sv_builtin classes from super-class proposal list
- Change default focus in 'New SV Class' wizard to 'Class Name' field
- Add scanner support for 'pure virtual' tasks/functions

- Add class-creation wizard that supports browsing for a super-class and
implementing the constructor with super-constructor parameters
-- 0.1.6 Release --
- Correct include-pathing issue for nested defines.
- Correct macro-resolution bug for macros defined in sub-included files
- Update list of supported directives. Most of these are ignored for now, but
produce no errors.
- `celldefine
- `endcelldefine
- `line
- `nounconnected_drive
- `resetall
- `unconnected_drive
- `undef
- `undefineall
- Fix project explorer to not display error markers as part of the file structure
-- 0.1.5 Release --
- Resolve a bug in indent support for always
- Resolve a critical bug with file paths on Windows
-- 0.1.4 Release --
- Add content-assist support for class typedefs. Now, class typedefs are
recognized as aliases for the underlying type.
- Correct a bug with content assist for macros having no parameters.
Previously, these macros were displayed incorrectly in the content proposal.
- Correct a bug with content-assist on the RHS of an '='.
- Correct a bug with expression indenting. Fix bug / add tests for indenting of covergroups, coverpoints.
- Fix bug with opening a file that exists in the root of a project
- Correct a windows-specific bug that resulted in the built-in library
missing files
- Correct a bug with indenting pre-processor directives such as `timescale
- Collect and display errors as markers
- Missing define
- Missing include file
- Annotate the parent index that manages the file
- Expand testing of indexing
- Library Index
- Ensure new files are correctly merged in
- On load, discovering a previously-missing file triggers an
index build (Workspace and Filesystem varieties)
- During operation, adding a file that was previously a
missing include triggers index rebuild (Workspace only)
- Ensure global defines are propagated
- Ensure missing includes/defines are annotated
- Argument File Index
- On load, discovering an updated index triggers index rebuild
- Ensure index is re-scanned when the argument file changes
- Ensure global defines are propagated
- Ensure missing includes/defines are annotated
- Plugin Lib Index
- Ensure new files added (ie new release) result in updated index.
- SourceCollection Index
- Update structure-determining logic to recognize
package,module,interface, and program-based structures
- Ensure global defines are propagated
- Ensure included files are located
- Ensure missing includes/defines are annotated
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.1.3 Release --
- Change the way that files are associated with indexes. Previously, only the
containing project's indexes were checked to locate the index a file should
be associated with. Typical setup for projects with a single build file and
multiple source locations do not work well with this scheme.
Now, the following is done:
- The file's containing project is checked to see if it manages the index.
This gives local settings priority
- Next, other open projects in the workspace are checked
- Finally, shadow indexes in the projects are checked
- Correct bug with propagation of +define+ arguments from the argument file
to the index define map.
- Add Project Properties page for setting global pre-processor defines
- Update indexers to use global defines. Now, the user can provide global
defines -- ones, for instance, that might be provided directed to the
compile command.
- Fixed a few minor bugs in indent support and added a few tests
- Fix a minor pre-processor bug with macro expansion
- Fix bug with indent of forever. Add test
- Add content-assist support for '= new()'. Now, content assist provides
the constructor argument list.
- Correct a bug with the Type Hierarchy view where a non-extended class
is not shown.
- Add icon for Coverpoint Cross
- Add content-assist support for import.
- Add content assist for covergroups and coverpoints
- Support for accessing covergroup and sub-coverpoints in an expression
- Support for built-in methods (get_coverage, sample, etc)
- Support covergroup, coverpoint, and coverpoint cross options
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.1.2 Release --
- Add content-assist support for parameterized classes. Now, content assist
will parse and operate on the specialized class rather than its base type.
This means that, for example, content assist can 'see through' a parameterized
member field.
- Improve content-assist support for dynamic arrays, queues, and
associative arrays. Now, methods that are part of the type (ie queue) are
provided as content-assist proposals.
- Add Class Hierarchy viewer. Selecting a class name in the editor and opening
the Hierarchy view via the shortcut (F4) or the context menu will display the
class super- and sub- class hierarchy. Class members for the selected class
are shown in a separate pane. The source location for Classes and members
may be opened by double-clicking on the appropriate element in the
Hierarchy viewer.
- Fix bug with accepting a expression content proposal with no leaf.
For example: foo.. Previously, performing this operation would
result in the content being inserted at the beginning of the document.
- Apply auto-indent to content inserted by Override Methods dialog
- Correct a bug in the scanner with extern tasks/functions outside a
class/package scope
- Fix auto-indent bugs
- Support package as an indent scope
- Resolve issues when typing at the very end of a document.
- Properly indent class declarations within packages and modules
- Correct issue with indenting extern task/function
- Support fork/join* as an indent scope
- Fix problem with pasting, with auto-indent, in the middle of a port map
- Remove OVM plugin library from distribution. Source from user's environment
is typically used.
- Add SystemVerilog system tasks and functions to the default library. These
now appear as content assist proposals
- Correct a bug with scanning class declarations that occur on a single line
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.1.1 Release --
- Add the beginnings of an indenter. To activate, select text in the editor
and select -I. Currently, blocks such as classes, modules,
tasks/functions, and begin/end blocks are supported.
- This is still fairly experimental functionality. Please report any
issues you see!
- Unclear how best to indent macro invocations, since many
are not terminated at statement boundaries (at least in OVM).
For now, assuming that macro invocations end at a line boundary.
- Update on-the-fly auto-indent to use the new indenter. This replaces a
whole raft of heuristic code that was less than reliable. However, as noted
above, the new indenter is less than fully-tested, so expect some instability.
- Support auto-indent for paste using the indenter. This functionality is
only enabled if auto-indent is enabled in the SVEditor Preferences.
- Auto-indent is enabled by default for 'new' workspaces. For existing
workspaces, the user will need to enable auto-indent via the SVEditor
preferences page.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.1.0 Release --
- Ensure that changes to task/function arguments are updated in the database
when the file changes.
- Make expression parsing more selective with respect to quoted strings.
Content assist adjacent to a string (eg in a $display() call) now works
much better
- Corrected a lookup bug that prevented task/function parameters or locals
from being presented as content-assist proposals
- Added support for always/initial blocks and assigns to the scanner and
outline view
- Direct debug output (enabled from SVEditor preferences page) to console
in active workbench.
- Update support for enumerated types. Enum types and values are presented
and typenames can be cross-referenced
- Update Outline view to show function return type
- Changed content-assist searches to be case-insensitive. The code architecture
is also now more modular, to permit easier future updates.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.0.9 Release --
- Corrected a bug with implicit-relative paths in an argument file.
Previously, ./ and ../ were recognized as relative paths.
Now is also recognized as a relative path.
- Corrected a bug in processing virtual interface fields. The scanner was
incorrectly identifying these fields as a change of scope. Interface is a
first-level keyword, but virtual interface is a valid field.
- Corrected problem in parsing indexed expressions when extracting
root/trigger/leaf from an expression.
- Enhanced expression parsing (translation from text to SVDBItems) to account
for static references based as a class type: ::::...
- Enhanced the lookup procedure performed by the editor on startup to
determine which index manages a given source file. Extended to recognize
files from the filesystem that are managed by an index attached to a
project in the workspace.
- Corrected a bug with class-field lookup (cross-linking and context assist)
where the super-class hierarchy was not considered.
- Centralized lookup code for expressions, combining content-assist and
cross-linking lookup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.0.8 Release --
The 0.0.8 release contains major changes to SVEditor.
The source-discovery mechanism has changed completely. Now, for best results,
the user should provide SVEditor with paths to the package files and/or
file lists that specify the source files. If a file is opened that is
not part of a defined index, SVEditor will setup a temporary index containing
just files in the parent directory.
Improvements have continued on the persistence support. On exit of Eclipse,
SVEditor saves the parsed representation of all active indexes to the workspace.
SVEditor is able to simply re-load the database from this save file if
none of the SystemVerilog files have subseqently been modified.
This can save a significant amount of time during Eclipse startup by reducing
the amount of redundant parsing.
Added logging infrastructure, including a method to control debug logging
from the preferences page and saving the debug log to a file in the workspace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.0.7 Release --
- Fix DR 2689430 -- problem with opening/closing/deleting a project in workspace
- Sometimes a resource-change event is signaled with a null event
- Add patch from <> for basic color preferences
- Incorporate patch from <> for DR <> -- problem with paths on Windows
- Fix problem with source cross-reference to classes declared
directly within a package. This issue did not affect classes declared
within a package via an `include directive.
- Add persistence support to prevent unchanged source files from being
re-parsed on every invocation
* - Fix problem with resolving macros in the SourceCollection index
- Expanded index support with the following new types
- Source collection index -- examines file structure and attempts to
determine correct parse order based on include relationships
- Library index -- entry point is the root file of a package-based
library. Locates included files
- Plugin library -- support for packaging common source in a plugin
that can be distributed with SVEditor
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.0.6 Release --
- Add support for 'open declaration' on included file
- Re-add support for includes and macro definitions in the editor outline
- Add support for open-declaration on a macro call
- Add beginnings of 'Override/Implement Methods' action to the editor context menu
- Prompts the user for tasks/functions in the super class hierarchy
that can be overridden
- Inserts task/function outlines
- [Development] Add an extension point that allows SystemVerilog libraries
to be packaged in a plug-in
- Begin adding support for core SystemVerilog classes (string for now)
- Add OVM 2.0.1 to as a built-in library
- Fix DR 2683568 -- scanner problem when parsing incomplete begin-end block
- Add basic support for DPI tasks/functions in the scanner
- Fixed a problem with content assist on task/function parameter names
- Added an icon for local variables and task parameters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 0.0.5 Release --
== Completely new pre-processor architecture. Files in a build-path directory
are processed in two passes now. First, the files are scanned for pre-processor
definitions, conditionals, and inclusions. Then, when a file is scanned, the
build context of the file is computed (ie which chain of files is likely to
include the file being parsed). This allows us to determine which macros
will be 'live' during file processing.
The new pre-processor architecture allows SVEditor to deal with the heavy
macro use of libraries such as OVM. Now, for example, it is possible to
provide content-assist for class elements in OVM classes that are contributed
by macros (eg tasks in the various TLM port classes).
== Continued work on content-assist. Now, the expression surrounding the
content-assist point is processed so better suggestions can be provided.
Also, more context information from the class hierarchy is used.
For example:
- given the classes:
class bar;
ovm_master_port #(int, int) p;
endclass
class foo extends bar;
function void do_something();
p.
endfunction
endclass
The content-assist processor recognizes that 'p' is the variable for
content-assist, locates 'p' via the class hierarchy, and prompts for tasks,
functions, and fields in the class ovm_master_port.
- given the classes:
class bar;
int a, b, c;
endclass
class foo;
function bar get_bar();
endfunction
function void do_something();
get_bar().
endfunction
endclass
The content-assist processor recognizes the function 'get_bar', finds the
return type, and prompts for fields, tasks, etc from the class bar.
== Added code templates to content assist. This provides argument templates
for tasks, functions, macros, and templated classes.
== The content-assist processor can provide content-assist proposals for
include files. Typing: `include or
`include "prefix will present a list of matching
include-file names.
20090102 -- Fix outline label provider
20090103 -- Eliminate duplicate proposals for include files

- filtering source from
* Support read-only source in a plugin. Useful for libraries (OVM/VMM).
- A library index processes files as follows:
- Entry point is root file
- Any file included by that file or sub-files is included in the index
- Process recursively:
- At each level, create an SVDBFileTree object to work with
- Reference parent's SVDBFileTree object
-> Must 'pre-process' SVDBFileTree to resolve conditionals
- Monitor inclusions. As files are included:
- Ensure they exist as SVDBFileTree objects
- Add to the DefineProvider
- Check whether file has already been parsed.
- Add to TODO list if not
- Add basic support for Verilog .f files. This might be a concise way to specify the build process...
- Need a multi-level sort for content proposals
- order by name
-
- order by scope distance (local variables, parameters, tf, types, etc)
- any
