Renamed cast member of the constants struct to magic to clearly identify
magic numbers.
Introduced nlconst struct inheriting from plib::constants<nl_fptype> to
make code better understandable.
The newly added RELTOL and VNTOL parameters implement Newton convergence
checks comparable following other SPICE implementations.
The ACCURACY solver parameter now is only used for convergence checks in
iterative solvers.
In addition, type safety was significantly improved and a lot of "magic"
numbers are identifiable now.
- solver: align matrix population along the various solvers
- solver: delete dead code
- renamed nl_double to nl_fptype and use nl_fptype where previously
double has been used.
- renamed param_double_t to param_fp_t
- moved netlists out of driver code into audio/ or machine/ as
nl_xxx.cpp files.
- identified and documented extended validation
- updated arcade, mess and nl targets
This fixes an over simplification. Logic devices implicitly assumed that
GND/VDD actually is connected to GND(i.e. 0V). There is no immediate
benefit from this change. It is a preparation for the future
scalability. Now all power terminals (typically 7/14, 8/16) have to be
explicitly connected to the supply rails.
Also added a validation mode to the netlist core. This is not
intended for running, but solely to better indentify pins which
are not properly connected.
This is a significant improvement to the MOS transistor model. It adds
modelling of the Meyer capacitance model.
This is a somewhat academic addition since the effects occur on a
nanosecond time scale and have a huge impact on performance. I plan to
make the capacitance model selectable. Both on a model level as well as
by introducing a global solver parameter.
The model delivers comparable results to LTSpice.
This effectively reverts b380514764 and
c24473ddff, restoring the state at
598cd52272.
Before pushing, please check that what you're about to push is sane.
Check your local commit log and ensure there isn't anything out-of-place
before pushing to mainline. When things like this happen, it wastes
everyone's time. I really don't need this in a week when real work™ is
busting my balls and I'm behind where I want to be with preparing for
MAME release.
Change the sign of go (or in other terms a12 and a21 matrix stencil
elements). This should make further optimization of matrix population
easier.
In addition hopefully improve the readability of the code by sacrifying
overloads for more verbose member names.
- convert macros to c++ code.
- order of device creation should not depend on std lib.
- some state saving cleanup.
- added support for clang-tidy to makefile.
- modifications triggered by clang-tidy-9.
This is an effort to separate netlist creation from netlist execution.
The primary target is to avoid that code which will only run during
execution is able to call setup code and thus create ugly hacks.
- Moved 9312 and 74279 to ttl macro library.
- Renamed TTL_9312_* to DM9312. This is more appropriate.
- Fixed a number of warnings from latest ubuntu clang-5.0.
Device implementations (all cpp files in netlist/devices) now should
only include nl_base.h.
Netlist implementation sources should only include "net_lib.h".
Refactored netlist.h and netlist.cpp to avoid namespace congestion in
netlist.h.
Fixed VC2015 build. (nw)
- Remove virtual from some destructors and make them protected.
- Various cleanups.
- Small performance improvement.
- Fixed some inconsistencies.
- More c++ refactoring. (nw)
Make streams provide binary access only. Use putf8_reader and
putf8_writer to actually access streams. Replace some char * parameters
with pstring where appropriate. Minor code refactoring and move
functionality were it belongs. (nw)
At the same time, any char pointer has to be explicitly converted to
pstring by specifying an encoding. Not yet optimal, but certainly better
than what was there before.
Removed unneeded methods from pstring. (nw)
