Worked on the antmicro/verilator repository, delivering five features and three bug fixes over three months to enhance hardware simulation and verification workflows. Focused on improving constraint handling, test coverage, and reliability, the work included adding support for 'or' constraints and signed multiplication in the randomization engine, refining constraint identifier validation, and expanding coverage analysis through improved parsing. Addressed critical issues such as IEEE-compliant clocking block input sampling and segmentation faults in array handling. Leveraged C++, SystemVerilog, and Python scripting, applying test-driven development and robust validation to ensure more predictable synthesis, simulation behavior, and safer hardware modeling for users.
February 2026 (antmicro/verilator): Delivered targeted enhancements to the constraint system and improved test coverage, focused on increasing modeling fidelity and correctness with minimal risk to existing behavior. Key features delivered: 1) Signed multiplication support in constraints, enabling accurate modeling of signed arithmetic in constraints. 2) Constraint identifier validation that enforces usage of class member variables only, preventing non-member identifiers in constraints. 3) Expanded test coverage for signed-integer constraints and nested class constraints in the Verilator simulator. Major commits: 9a8538fafa4981282dea4b2f9013a7b42b39fe70 (Support signed multiplication in constraints, #7008) and 5d12ae3a2f64baad1f2b1a192f22b52e0ada7738 (Fix non-member identifiers used inside constraints, #7033). Impact: improves modeling fidelity and reliability of the constraint system; reduces debugging time for users modeling signed arithmetic; strengthens test suite, enabling safer refactors. Technologies/skills: C++, Verilog/SystemVerilog constraints, test-driven development, git-based workflow, code review.
