addressing and alignment properties of addressmap not being followed #85

I want the following structure:

1. Base address map at 0x0
2. Child map1 at address 0x100
3. Child map2 at address 0x200

Either of the following schemes will work for me:

1. Base -> Child map1 -> Child map2

• In this case child map1 is external address map for base
• Child map2 is external address map for child map1

2. Ring structure with base as root and child map1 and map2 declared as external ring

I tried the following:
Method1:
addrmap base {
...
external child_map1 child_map1@0x100;
}

addrmap child_map1 {
...
external child map2 child_map2 @0x100;
}

Method 2:
addrmap base {
...
regfile {
child_map1 child_map1 @0x100;
child_map2 child_map2 @0x200;
} external (RING32) ring_regs;
}

In method 1, the tool generates address for child 1 as: 0x200 instead of 0x100

In method 2, the tool generates the ring starting from 0x400 instead of 0x100

Thus, in either of the cases I am unable to get the addressing I want.

I tried using the following attributes (independently and together):
addressing = compact
alignment = 4

But then I get the following message (method 1):
*** WARNING ***: assignment of property addressing will be ignored in addrmap base_map near line 16
*** WARNING ***: property addressing not implemented
*** WARNING ***: assignment of property alignment will be ignored in addrmap base_map near line 16
*** WARNING ***: property alignment not implemented

I also get a warning that alignment for child map 1 is being shifted to 0x200

Questions:

1. Why are the addressing and alignment properties not being followed
2. How do I get the desired addressing?

Thanks in advance for the help.
