Both of these options consider a selection containing only empty modules
as non-empty. This wasn't mentioned in the documentation nor did the
error message when using `select -assert-none` list those empty modules,
which produced a very confusing error message complaining about a
non-empty selection followed by an empty listing of the selection.
This fixes the documentation and changes the `-assert-none` and
`-assert-any` assertion error messages to also output fully selected
modules (this includes selected empty modules).
It doesn't change the messages for `-assert-count` etc. as they don't
count modules.
Before this patch, the code passed around std::string objects by
value. It's probably not a hot-spot, but it can't hurt to avoid the
copying.
Removing the copy and clean-up code means the resulting code is ~6.1kb
smaller when compiled with GCC 9.3 and standard settings.
- Pass a string argument by reference
- Avoid multiple calls to IdString::str and IdString::c_str
- Avoid combining checks for size > 0 and first char (C strings are
null terminated, so foo[0] != '\0' implies that foo has positive
length)
With GCC 9.3, at least, compiling select.cc spits out a warning about
an implausible bound being passed to strncmp. This comes from inlining
IdString::compare(): it turns out that passing std::string::npos as a
bound to strncmp triggers it.
This patch replaces the compare call with a memcmp with the same
effect. The repeated calls to IdString::c_str are slightly
inefficient, but I'll address that in a follow-up commit.
The initial list of hits was generated with the codespell command
below, and each hit was evaluated and fixed manually while taking
context into consideration.

codespell $DIRS -S *.o -L upto,iff,thru,synopsys,uint
More hits were found by looking through comments and strings manually.
o Not all derived methods were marked 'override', but it is a great
feature of C++11 that we should make use of.
o While at it: touched header files got a -*- c++ -*- for emacs to
provide support for that language.
o use YS_OVERRIDE for all override keywords (though we should probably
use the plain keyword going forward now that C++11 is established)
For resource limited designs such as FPGA it can be useful to specify limit of specific resources available on board. So user can check if he should change RTL as early as mapping done.
