When we are iterating over a `SigSpec`, the visited values will be of
type `SigBit` (as is the return type of `operator*()`). Account for that
in the publicly declared types.
`std::iterator` has been deprecated in C++17. Yosys is being compiled
against the C++11 standard but plugins can opt to compile against a
newer one. To silence some deprecation warnings when those plugins are
being compiled, replace the `std::iterator` inheritance with the
equivalent type declarations.
The main speedup comes from swithing from using a SHA1 hash to std::hash<std::string>. There is no need to use an expensive cryptographic hash for fingerprinting in this context.
This does not correctly handle an `$overwrite_tag` on a module output,
but since we currently require the user to flatten the design for
cross-module dft, this cannot be observed from within the design, only
by manually inspecting the signals in the design.
The guard is optimised out on some compilers under certain conditions (eg: LTO on GCC) as constant under C++ lifetime rules.
This is because the guard type's member is invalid to access (UB) after the type has been destroyed, resulting in
`destruct_guard.ok` being unable to be `false` according to the optimiser, based on the lifetime rules.
This patch still invokes UB (all accesses to the destroyed IdString instance are), but at least the optimiser
can't reason that destruct_guard_ok cannot be false and therefore it's safe to optimise out from its guard role.
The new bitwise case equality (`$bweqx`) and bitwise mux (`$bwmux`)
cells enable compact encoding and decoding of 3-valued logic signals
using multiple 2-valued signals.
* Change simlib's $mux cell to use the ternary operator as $_MUX_
already does
* Stop opt_expr -keepdc from changing S=x to S=0
* Change const eval of $mux and $pmux to match the updated simlib
(fixes sim)
* The sat behavior of $mux already matches the updated simlib
The verilog frontend uses $mux for the ternary operators and this
changes all interpreations of the $mux cell (that I found) to match the
verilog simulation behavior for the ternary operator. For 'if' and
'case' expressions the frontend may also use $mux but uses $eqx if the
verilog simulation behavior is requested with the '-ifx' option.
For $pmux there is a remaining mismatch between the sat behavior and the
simlib behavior. Resolving this requires more discussion, as the $pmux
cell does not directly correspond to a specific verilog construct.
These can be used to protect undefined flip-flop initialization values
from optimizations that are not sound for formal verification and can
help mapping all solver-provided values in witness traces for flows that
use different backends simultaneously.
- Attempt to lookup a derived module if it potentially contains a port
connection with elaboration ambiguities
- Mark the cell if module has not yet been derived
- This can be extended to implement automatic hierarchical port
connections in a future change
This code now takes the AST nodes of type AST_BIND and generates a
representation in the RTLIL for them.
This is a little tricky, because a binding of the form:
bind baz foo_t foo_i (.arg (1 + bar));
means "make an instance of foo_t called foo_i, instantiate it inside
baz and connect the port arg to the result of the expression 1+bar".
Of course, 1+bar needs a cell for the addition. Where should that cell
live?
With this patch, the Binding structure that represents the construct
is itself an AST::AstModule module. This lets us put the adder cell
inside it. We'll pull the contents out and plonk them into 'baz' when
we actually do the binding operation as part of the hierarchy pass.
Of course, we don't want RTLIL::Binding to contain an
AST::AstModule (since kernel code shouldn't depend on a frontend), so
we define RTLIL::Binding as an abstract base class and put the
AST-specific code into an AST::Binding subclass. This is analogous to
the AST::AstModule class.
There will soon be more (versioned) memory cells, so handle passes that
only care if a cell is memory-related by a simple helper call instead of
a hardcoded list.
This change set contains a number of bug fixes and improvements related to
scoping and resolution in generate and procedural blocks. While many of the
frontend changes are interdependent, it may be possible bring the techmap
changes in under a separate PR.
Declarations within unnamed generate blocks previously encountered issues
because the data declarations were left un-prefixed, breaking proper scoping.
The LRM outlines behavior for generating names for unnamed generate blocks. The
original goal was to add this implicit labelling, but doing so exposed a number
of issues downstream. Additional testing highlighted other closely related scope
resolution issues, which have been fixed. This change also adds support for
block item declarations within unnamed blocks in SystemVerilog mode.
1. Unlabled generate blocks are now implicitly named according to the LRM in
`label_genblks`, which is invoked at the beginning of module elaboration
2. The Verilog parser no longer wraps explicitly named generate blocks in a
synthetic unnamed generate block to avoid creating extra hierarchy levels
where they should not exist
3. The techmap phase now allows special control identifiers to be used outside
of the topmost scope, which is necessary because such wires and cells often
appear in unlabeled generate blocks, which now prefix the declarations within
4. Some techlibs required modifications because they relied on the previous
invalid scope resolution behavior
5. `expand_genblock` has been simplified, now only expanding the outermost
scope, completely deferring the inspection and elaboration of nested scopes;
names are now resolved by looking in the innermost scope and stepping outward
6. Loop variables now always become localparams during unrolling, allowing them
to be resolved and shadowed like any other identifier
7. Identifiers in synthetic function call scopes are now prefixed and resolved
in largely the same manner as other blocks
before: `$func$\func_01$tests/simple/scopes.blk.v:60$5$\blk\x`
after: `\func_01$func$tests/simple/scopes.v:60$5.blk.x`
8. Support identifiers referencing a local generate scope nested more
than 1 level deep, i.e. `B.C.x` while within generate scope `A`, or using a
prefix of a current or parent scope, i.e. `B.C.D.x` while in `A.B`, `A.B.C`,
or `A.B.C.D`
9. Variables can now be declared within unnamed blocks in SystemVerilog mode
