I thought I had fixed this as I saw it and fixed it with the test case in your other issue. Are you using the fixed git version?

No I'm not. I had not used git before, and for some reason I can't check out the project from the repository.

git clone http://git.veripool.org/git/Verilog-Perl temp/Verilog-Perl/
Initialized empty Git repository in temp/Verilog-Perl/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

git --version
git version 1.5.3.rc5.

Is there any other way to get the latest working version without using git?

Thanks
David

I's worth trying to get git working, as the patch is large and given you found two issues more are possible.

First, my version of git doesn't like paths in the second argument (ie use Verilog-Perl not temp/Verilog-Perl/) but I think you're beyond that.

Perhaps you're at work, and need a proxy? Ask your IT person. Or look in Firefox (for example) for the settings - you can see them in Options->Advanced->Network->Settings

Then

export http_proxy=http://:@<proxy_ip>:<proxy_port>

where:

username = your network username (someuser)
password = your network password (somepassword)
proxy_ip = the ip address of your proxy server (192.168.1.1)
proxy_port = the port number for the proxy (80)

the full string would look like this:

export http_proxy=http://someuser:somepassword@192.168.1.1:80

Thanks, I've downloaded the git HEAD version. Is there a way other than editing the Makefile manually to specify a different install dir? (like the makepl_arg configuration parameter for CPAN installation)?

Thanks
David

Nevermind, it seems
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/path/to/your/home/dir
works just fine.

Thanks.

Ok, I'm using the latest git version, and I'm still getting the same error.

Can't locate object method "new_cell" via package "Verilog::Netlist::Interface" at /home/darditti/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux/Verilog/Netlist/File.pm line 238, line 94.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David

Hmm, guess it's a different case from the other I fixed, sorry thought that would do it. I suspect there's something in the interface declaration that's confusing it, can you send it along?

I've isolated the issue, no testcase though I think its simple enough.

The problem is caused by interfaces receiving other interfaces on their port-list. e.g:

// first interface. Parses Ok
interface intf1 ();
   // blah...
   modport intf2_mp ( .... );
   // blah...
endinterface


// Second interface, receives first in port-list. Parser error.
interface intf2 (
   input bit       clk,
   input bit       arst,
   intf1.intf2_mp  myintf,
);
   // more blah...
endinterface

This is exactly what I've got, a second interface receiving a first interface on it's port-list specifying the modport (intf1.intf2_mp).

If I'm not mistaken, according to 1800-2005 Std (section A - Formal Syntax) this is allowed, as I understand the interface port-list has the same restrictions as the module port-list.

Thanks again,
David

Didn't know that was possible; yes I can make a test case easily. I'll fix it.

This is fixed in the GIT version and will be in the next release.

BTW if you'd like to share your last name, I'll give you proper credit in the Changes.
