  • annotation navigates to the super method.

New in SVEditor 1.4.3 (Oct 22, 2013)

  • Remove the use of a Java 7 API (Character.isAlphabetic).

New in SVEditor 1.4.2 (Oct 21, 2013)

  • caused incorrect completions to be returned in some cases when no
  • leaf element was supplied. For example: ${workspace_loc}/

  • workspace. Now, requesting content assist for ${workspace_loc}/ returns
  • a list of projects in the workspace.
  • #(enh 74) Remove `ifndef guards from standard and methodlogy templates
  • #(nobug) Re-enable Open Declaration and content assist for macros
  • in the 'new' indexer
  • #(nobug) Correct an issue with include-file caching in the 'new' index,
  • where include files with a common leaf element would match. For example,
  • my_cls.svh would be used when the actual include was cls.svh.
  • #(nobug) Allow generate statements to include task calls. Task calls
  • are used in some cases to force errors in case of faulty elaboration
  • #(nobug) Add back support for -y (libdir) and -l (libfile) to the
  • 'new' index in both SFCU and MFCU mode
  • #(278) Correct an issue with auto-indent around if/else blocks without

  • Correct an issue with brace matching in the presence of escaped double quotes within strings (eg "this is a \" string")
  • Correct an issue with the content assist provider that caused non-class proposals to be given for class 'extends'
  • Add initial macro-caching scheme to the 'new' indexer to prevent 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.

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.4.1 (Mar 18, 2011)

  • (#3219052) Implement support for escaped identifiers.
  • (#3211077) Correct bug with files with upper-case filename extensions (eg file.SV)

  • 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).

New in SVEditor 0.3.6 (Jan 10, 2011)

  • Integrate the current 'Getting Started' guide into the Eclipse help system.
  • Add initial "SVEditor Internals" documentation -- for now, just the
  • JavaDoc-created API document.

  • (#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.

  • (#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

  • Correct a bug with indenting of nested modules
  • (#3110581) Enable use of indenting-related preferences in the

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.2.9 (Nov 23, 2010)

  • 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.

  • Correct problems with expansion of environment variables in argument-file
  • paths
  • Correct problem with content assist on indexed array/queue fields

  • interface ports with multi-dimension vectors
  • sized parameters

New in SVEditor 0.2.7 (Oct 26, 2010)

  • 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.

  • field.task_call()..
  • Improved the Indenter to handle adaptive indent in a more-flexible and
  • more-reliable manner

New in SVEditor 0.2.5 (Aug 4, 2010)

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.2.4 (Jul 27, 2010)

  • Correct parse bugs with module parameters
  • empty parameter list
  • parameter declaration inside module

  • 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 markesparse errors made it apparent that there was a problem

New in SVEditor 0.2.2 (Jul 19, 2010)

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.2.1 (Jul 6, 2010)

  • 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.

New in SVEditor 0.2.0 (May 18, 2010)

  • 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.

New in SVEditor 0.1.9 (Apr 27, 2010)

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.1.8 (Apr 19, 2010)

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.1.6 (Mar 24, 2010)

  • 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.

  • `endcelldefine
  • `line
  • `nounconnected_drive
  • resetall
  • `unconnected_drive
  • `undef
  • `undefineall
  • Fix project explorer to not display error markers as part of the file structure

New in SVEditor 0.1.5 (Mar 15, 2010)

  • Resolve a bug in indent support for always
  • Resolve a critical bug with file paths on Windows

New in SVEditor 0.1.3 (Feb 22, 2010)

  • 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.
  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.1.2 (Feb 15, 2010)

  • 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

New in SVEditor 0.1.1 (Feb 8, 2010)

  • 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.

New in SVEditor 0.1.0 (Feb 1, 2010)

  • 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.

New in SVEditor 0.0.9 (Jan 26, 2010)

  • 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

  • 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
