Enum documentation
enum class slang:: ast:: ASTFlags: uint64_ t
#include <slang/ast/ASTContext.h>
Specifies flags that control expression and statement creation.
Enumerators | |
---|---|
None |
No special behavior specified. |
InsideConcatenation |
The expression is inside a concatenation; this enables slightly different creation rules. |
UnevaluatedBranch |
The expression is inside the unevaluated side of a conditional branch. This is used to avoid issuing warnings for things that won't happen. |
AllowDataType |
Allow the expression to also be a data type; used in a few places like the first argument to system methods like $bits. |
NoAttributes |
Attributes are disallowed on expressions in this context. |
AssignmentAllowed |
Assignment is allowed in this context. This flag is cleared for nested subexpressions, unless they are directly parenthesized. |
AssignmentDisallowed |
Assignments are disallowed in this context. As opposed to the AssignmentAllowed flag, this is not cleared and overrides that fact even if we are in a procedural context and would otherwise be allowed to modify variables. |
NonProcedural |
Expression is not inside a procedural context. |
StaticInitializer |
Expression is for a static variable's initializer. References to automatic variables will be disallowed. |
StreamingAllowed |
Streaming operator is allowed in assignment target, assignment source, bit-stream casting argument, or stream expressions of another streaming concatenation. This flag is cleared for nested subexpressions, unless they are directly parenthesized. |
TopLevelStatement |
This is the first expression appearing as an expression statement; potentially this indicates whether a subroutine invocation is as a task (if set) or as a function (unset). Cleared for nested subexpressions. |
AllowUnboundedLiteral |
Expression is allowed to be the unbounded literal '$' such as inside a queue select. |
AllowUnboundedLiteralArithmetic |
Expression is allowed to do arithmetic with an unbounded literal. |
Function |
AST creation is happening within a function body. |
Final |
AST creation is happening within a final block. |
NonBlockingTimingControl |
AST creation is happening within the intra-assignment timing control of a non-blocking assignment expression. |
EventExpression |
AST creation is happening within an event expression. |
AllowTypeReferences |
AST creation is in a context where type reference expressions are allowed. |
AssertionExpr |
AST creation is happening within an assertion expression (sequence or property). |
AllowClockingBlock |
Allow binding a clocking block as part of a top-level event expression. |
AssertionInstanceArgCheck |
AST creation is for checking an assertion argument, prior to it being expanded as part of an actual instance. |
AssertionDelayOrRepetition |
AST creation is for a cycle delay or sequence repetition, where references to assertion formal ports have specific type requirements. |
LValue |
AST creation is for the left hand side of an assignment operation. |
PropertyNegation |
AST creation is for the negation of a property, which disallows recursive instantiations. |
PropertyTimeAdvance |
AST creation is for a property that has come after a positive advancement of time within the parent property definition. |
RecursivePropertyArg |
AST creation is for an argument passed to a recursive property instance. |
ConcurrentAssertActionBlock |
AST creation is inside a concurrent assertion's action block. |
AllowCoverageSampleFormal |
AST creation is for a covergroup expression that permits referencing a formal argument of an overridden sample method. |
AllowCoverpoint |
Expressions are allowed to reference coverpoint objects directly. |
AllowNetType |
User-defined nettypes are allowed to be looked up in this context. |
OutputArg |
AST creation is for an output (or inout) port or function argument. |
ProceduralAssign |
AST creation is for a procedural assign statement. |
ProceduralForceRelease |
AST creation is for a procedural force / release / deassign statement. |
AllowInterconnect |
AST creation is in a context that allows interconnect nets. |
NotADriver |
AST creation is in a context where drivers should not be registered for lvalues, even if they otherwise would normally be. This is used, for example, in potentially unrollable for loops to let the loop unroller handle the drivers. |
StreamingWithRange |
AST creation is for a range expression inside a streaming concatenation operator. |
SpecifyBlock |
AST creation is happening inside a specify block. |
SpecparamInitializer |
AST creation is for a specparam initializer expression. |
DPIArg |
AST creation is for a DPI argument type. |
AssertionDefaultArg |
AST creation is for an assertion instance's default argument. |
LAndRValue |
AST creation is for an lvalue that also counts as an rvalue. Only valid when combined with the LValue flag – used for things like the pre & post increment and decrement operators. |
NoReference |
AST binding should not count symbol references towards that symbol being "used". If this flag is not set, accessing a variable or net in an expression will count that symbol as being "used". |
ConfigParam |
AST binding is for a parameter inside a SystemVerilog configuration. |
TypeOperator |
AST binding is for the contents of the type() operator. |
ForkJoinAnyNone |
AST binding is inside a fork-join_any or fork-join_none block. |
DisallowUDNT |
AST binding disallows nets with a user-defined nettype (UDNT). |
BindInstantiation |
AST binding is for a bind instantiation (port connection or param value). |
enum class slang:: ast:: EvalFlags: uint8_ t

Various flags that can be applied to a constant expression evaluation.
Enumerators | |
---|---|
None |
No special flags specified. |
IsScript |

CacheResults |
The results of the evaluation can be cached in each expression's |
SpecparamsAllowed |
Specparams are allowed during evaluation. |
CovergroupExpr |
Evaluation is for a covergroup expression, which allows some forms of non-constant variables to be referenced. |

Specifies various flags that describe instance behavior.
Enumerators | |
---|---|
None |

FromBind |
The instance was created from a bind directive instead of a typical instantiation. |
ParentFromBind |
The instance resides in a parent instance that itself is from a bind directive. This applies recursively for the entire bound hierarchy. |

ForkJoin |
Used with InterfaceExtern methods to indicate that more than one module is allowed to export the same task. |
DefaultedSuperArg |
The method is a constructor that has a 'default' argument indicating that the parent class's argument list should be inserted. |
Initial |
The method is marked 'initial', which means it should not override a base class method. |
Extends |
The method is marked 'extends', which means it must override a base class method (and also it will be virtual). |
Final |
The method is marked 'final', which means it cannot be overridden in a derived class. |

InitializerOverridden |
The initializer expression has been overridden via a parameter in a hierarchical instantation. |
TypeOverridden |
The type has been overridden via a type parameter in a hierarchical instantation. |

The type is signed. |
FourState |
The type is four state. |
Reg |

Function documentation
#include <slang/ast/ASTVisitor.h>
template<typename... Functions>
auto slang:: ast:: makeVisitor(Functions... funcs)
Creates an ASTVisitor out of the provided handler functions.
The provided callable arguments must take two parameters, the first of which is the visitor object itself (so that you can call visitDefault on it if desired) and the second is the AST type to match against.
For example, to create a visitor that will count all of the BinaryExpressions in an AST:
int count = 0; makeVisitor([&](auto& visitor, const BinaryExpression& expr) { count++; visitor.visitDefault(expr); })
