Summary
This release distributes Ruby-VPI as a gem, improves portability of
generated
tests, and fixes a bug.
Details
â?¢ put_value() now accomodates register value overflows when verifying
the
value it has written.
â?¢ Ruby-VPI is now distributed only as a source gem. You can decompress
the
gem without installing it onto your system by running the command
gem
install -i output_directory ruby-vpi-7.0.0.gem. In addition, you can
still
obtain the source code directly from the Subversion repository.
â?¢ The test generatorâ??s templates and the examples have been updated as
follows:
â?¡ Test runners no longer have to specify the path to Ruby-VPI
installation directory. Instead, they simply require
‘ruby-vpi/runner’.
Thus, you can run your tests on any machine with Ruby-VPI
without
having to know where it is installed.
â?¡ Ruby benches now invoke RubyVPI.init_bench instead of require
‘bench’;
setup_bench to become initialized.
â?¢ All Ruby libraries in the lib/ directory have been moved into
lib/ruby-vpi/
to prevent load-path clashes with other gems. You should access
these
libraries by prefixing their path with â??ruby-vpiâ?. For example,
require
‘vpi_util’ should now be written as require ‘ruby-vpi/vpi_util’.
â?¢ The src/ directory has been renamed to ext/ to follow RubyGems
convention.
â?¢ The tools in bin/ become available in your systemâ??s bin/ directory
when the
gem is installed.
â?¡ Usage and help information has been added to the
header_to_ruby.rb
tool.
â?¢ Incorrect spelling of GPL Cver (v should be uncapitalized) has been
fixed.
â?¢ Incorrect link to GPL Cver website has been fixed.
â?¢ The user manual has been updated according to all of the above
changes.
