classes imported from conditional compilation not available - actionscript-3

I've got some syntax in a project I'm working on that I'm not familiar with:
CONFIG::FLASH_10_1
{
import flash.net.NetStreamAppendBytesAction;
import flash.events.DRMErrorEvent;
import flash.events.DRMStatusEvent;
}
with the following compiler flags
-define CONFIG::LOGGING false -define CONFIG::FLASH_10_1 true -define CONFIG::PLATFORM true -define CONFIG::MOCK false
The class references aren't working when the imports are inside that block and I'm wondering if it's an fb4 vs fb4.5 issue. If I pull them out, all the references work as expected.

This 'peculiar syntax' is referred to as Conditional Compilation, where certain code is compiled only if the Compilation Constant provided is true.
This question shows a different syntax for defining the compilation constants, you may want to try changing that. I will test it and update this answer shortly.
After my testing, I believe that you're doing your compiler flags incorrectly--at least in FB4.5.
-define+=CONFIG::FLASH_10_1,true
or
-define CONFIG::FLASH_10_1,true
The Compilation Constant and its value should be separated by a comma, not a space. The += syntax was shown in some of the examples I saw, and appears to work, I'm not certain what the difference is between the two options.

Chisel randomly initialize register value when simulating with verilator

I'm using Chisel and blackbox to run my chisel logic against a verilog register file.
The registerfile does not have reset signal so I expect the register to be randomly initialized.
I passed the --x-initial unique to verilator,
Basically this is how I launch the test:
private val backendName = "verilator"
"NOCDMA" should s" do blkwrite and blkread correctly (with $backendName)" in {
Driver.execute(Array("--fint-write-vcd","--backend-name",s"$backendName",
"--more-vcs-flags","--trace-depth 1 --x-initial unique"),
()=>new DMANetworkWithMem(memAddrWidth,memDataWidth)(nocDataWidth)(nNodesX,nNodesY)){
c => new DMANetworkRWTest(c)
}
}
But The data I read from the register file is all zero before I wrote anything to it.
The read data is correct after I wrote to it.
So, is there anything inside chisel that I need to tune or I did not do everything properly ?
Any suggestions?
I'm not certain, but I found the following issue on Verilator with a similar issue: https://github.com/verilator/verilator/issues/1399.
From skimming the above issue, I think you also need to pass +verilator+seed+<value> and +verilator+rand+reset+<value> at runtime. I am not an expert in the iotesters, but I believe you can add these runtime values through the iotesters argument: --more-vcs-c-flags.
Side note, I would also set --x-assign unique in Verilator if there are cases in the Verilog where runtime would otherwise inject an X (eg. out-of-bounds index).
I hope this helps!

Arduino and STL

I know this has been posted all over the place but I can not find what I need. I have a Arduino project that I must have vector or another way of allocating a dynamic array safely. I am trying to get the "StandardCplusplus" library to compile but I am getting an error

06:23:57 Build Finished (took 21s.666ms)
I have searched here and online and there seems to be a bunch of fixes but none of them work. There was some mention of including a pnew.cpp in one of your files but this file is not in the library anywhere.
All my code contains that I am trying to compile is
#include "StandardCplusplus.h"
#include "Arduino.h"
void setup(void) {
Serial.begin(57600);
}
void loop(void) {
}
There are a couple of versions of this library out there and I have tried the two main forks that I can find and both of them generate this error.
Also I am using Eclipse with the Arduino AVR plugin to compile.
Edit
I thought that commenting out the lines did work until I tried to use a vector. Once I did the StandardCplusplus library got really mad saying that the function new was not defined.
I think that there needs to be something done to the StandardCplusplus library like in new/new_opv delete/delete_opv files? Or is there a better way?
Edit - 2
Alright so I went into the files:
StandardCplusplus/new_opv.h
StandardCplusplus/del_opv.h
And commented out the bodies for the functions and everything seems to be happy. I did a simple test and everything looks like it is working but now I am concerned that I might of removed something that something else in the library might need, can anyone tell me if my changes will hurt anything?
Edit - 3
Well the last fix didn't work so I tried going to another library all together and I am allot closer. I Downloaded this STL-AVR library and had to make a minor edit to vector.h now I am having problems with the pnew.cpp file. Looks like the template is calling a "new" function that is now defined in arduino but if I try to comment out this body I get that it is not defined. I am sure this is some sort of order of the includes or missing one can anyone help?
Those STL like libary versions you have were put together before operator new was added to the Arduino core. Now they are in the core you are getting a multiple definition error.
You can go into your core and comment out the bits causing the multiple definition error.
You can probably just get away with commenting out the function definitions in the .cpp:
C:/Eclipse/eclipse/arduinoPlugin/packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.6.10/cores/arduino/new.cpp
If you still get the errors, also comment out the function declarations in new.h, but you shouldn't need to as multiple declarations are allowed, only definitions must be unique.

Unusual function declaration in Verilog

To try to understand, I looked for some code on the internet and found the following declaration of what I suppose to be functions, and that I don't understand at all.
sext #(.inwidth(1), .outwidth(32)) scc_sext_i0(
.i0(paw_0_i0_outport0[32]),
.o0(scc_sext_i0_o0));
combine2_wn #(.inwidth0(32), .inwidth1(32)) scc_combine2_wn_i0(
.i0(paw_0_i0_outport0[31 : 0]),
.i1(scc_sext_i0_o0),
.o0(scc_combine2_wn_i0_o0));
combine2_wn #(.inwidth0(32), .inwidth1(32)) scc_combine2_wn_i1(
.i0(scc_combine2_wn_i2_o0[31 : 0]),
.i1(scc_combine2_wn_i2_o0[63 : 32]),
.o0(scc_combine2_wn_i1_o0));
My questions are the following:
Are these really functions mapping?
If yes, they are not defined in any other lower level .v file (and no library is included either in the top-level file). So what is their use?
What does # symbol mean?
What does .inwidth(32) mean? input of 32 bits? (impossible to find on the internet...)
If yes, the combine2_wn blocks should have only 2 inputs, why is there an output mapped each time?
More generally, are these any kind of concatenation functions?
These are most likely module instantiations, not function calls.
You should have a module named sext and another named combine2_wn declared in files somewhere in your Verilog search path.
#() means you are assigning values to parameters inside the named modules.
There is a parameter named inwidth in the sext module. You are assigning it a value of 1.
There are plenty of references on the web. Look at the verilog wiki site.

how to resolve "conflicts with" errors in d?

I'm trying to compile some D. The code that I've written uses the std.string library as well as std.algorithm. One of my functions calls indexOf on a string: unfortunately, apparently there's also a indexOf function in std.algorithm, and the compiler doesn't like it:
assembler.d(81): Error: std.algorithm.indexOf!("a == b", string, immutable(char)).indexOf at /usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/algorithm.d(4431) conflicts with std.string.indexOf!(char).indexOf at /usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/string.d(334)
assembler.d(81): Deprecation: function std.algorithm.indexOf!("a == b", string, immutable(char)).indexOf is deprecated
How do I get around this? In C++ I could use the :: to explicitly say what namespace I'm in... what about D?
If you want to call std.string.indexOf explicitly, then do std.string.indexOf(str, c) instead of indexOf(str, c) or str.indexOf(c).
Or you can use an alias:
alias std.string.indexOf indexOf;
If you put that inside the function where you're calling indexOf, then it should then consider indexOf to be std.string.indexOf for the rest of the function. Or if you put it at the module level, then it'll affect the whole module.
However, due to a bug, UFCS (Universal Function Call Syntax) doesn't currently work with local aliases, so if you put the alias within the function, you'll have to do indexOf(str, c) instead of str.indexOf(c).
A third option is to use a selective import:
import std.string : indexOf;
With that import, only indexOf is imported from std.string, and when you use indexOf, it'll use the string version (even if you've also import std.algorithm). And you can even import std.string regularly in addition to the selective import to get the rest of std.string, and the selective import will still fix the conflict (in which case, it's really not that different from importing std.string and then aliases indexOf). However, due to a bug, selective imports are always treated as public, so doing a selective import of indexOf in a module will affect every module that imports it (potentially causing new conflicts), so you may want to avoid it at this point.

How can I assign sequences to constants in the CONSTANTS section of a TLA+ configuration file?

I've tried
CONSTANTS seq = <<5,6,7>>
but TLC gives me a syntax error:
Error: TLC found an error in the
configuration file at line 1. It was
expecting = or <- and didn't find it.
I've also tried to include the Sequences module in the configuration file, to no avail.
So... what do I have to do to assign a sequence?
I don't remember ever facing this problem and my TLC is too rusty to try and give you a first hand answer (I just restarted using the TLA+ toolbox).
From the post linked bellow, however, I figure that you can't instantiate constants with sequences through the TLC config files.
http://bbpress.tlaplus.net/topic/creating-a-sequence-from-a-set
Even though the question is old, leaving an answer may help future TLAers.
You can't directly assign to a constant in the TLA+ file. If you're using the toolbox, write CONSTANTS seq, then in the model add the tuple you want as an ordinary assignment.
So it turns out that you need a separate .tla file for that. Suppose you have "Main.tla" as you source file. You want MyConst to have value <<1,2,3>>. TLA+ toolbox generates MC.tla where it puts the constants:
---- MODULE MC ----
EXTENDS Main, TLC
const_uniq12345 = <<1,2,3>>
====
in MC.cfg, there will be the line
CONSTANT MyConst <- const_uniq12345
Note that MyConst = const_uniq12345 won't work -- if you use = instead of <-, MyConst will contain model value const_uniq12345 instead of <<1, 2, 3>>
I used https://github.com/hwayne/tlacli to be able to run TLC from command line (TLA toolbox has awful UX), and I was able to supply a tuple constant with help of extra .tla file like this. I used meaningful name instead of const_uniq12345 too, of course. Had to call java -cp /path/to/tla2tools.jar ... manually, though (got the full command using --show-script option of tlacli), because currently tlacli doesn't handle <- in the config.
