This makes clk2fflogic add an attr to $ff cells that carry the state of
the emulated async FF. The $ff output doesn't have any async updates
that happened in the current cycle, but the $ff input does, so the $ff
input corresponds to the async FF's output in the original design.
Hence this patch also makes the following changes to passes besides
clk2fflogic (but only for FFs with the clk2fflogic attr set):
* opt_clean treats the input as a register name (instead of the
output)
* rename -witness ensures that the input has a public name
* the formal backends (smt2, btor, aiger) will use the input's
name for the initial state of the FF in witness files
* when sim reads a yw witness that assigns an initial value to the
input signal, the state update is redirected to the output
This ensures that yosys witness files for clk2fflogic designs have
useful and stable public signal names. It also makes it possible to
simulate a clk2fflogic witness on the original design (with some
limitations when the original design is already using $ff cells).
It might seem like setting the output of a clk2fflogic FF to update the
input's initial value might not work in general, but it works fine for
these reasons:
* Witnesses for FFs are only present in the initial cycle, so we do
not care about any later cycles.
* The logic that clk2fflogic generates loops the output of the
genreated FF back to the input, with muxes in between to apply any
edge or level sensitive updates. So when there are no active updates
in the current gclk cycle, there is a combinational path from the
output back to the input.
* The logic clk2fflogic generates makes sure that an edge sensitive
update cannot be active in the first cycle (i.e. the past initial
value is assumed to be whatever it needs to be to avoid an edge).
* When a level sensitive update is active in the first gclk cycle, it
is actively driving the output for the whole gclk cycle, so ignoring
any witness initialization is the correct behavior.
genvar declaration cannot take an initial value when declared as a module_or_generate_item_declaration.
Correct this test so that it doesn't fail unexpectedly if Yosys aligns with the standard.
When assigning values to input ports of nested modules in cosimulation,
sim needs to find the actual driver of the signal to perform the
assignment. The existing code didn't handle unconnected inputs in that
scenario.
While not setting the smtoffset here was clearly a bug, I think using
`chunk.offset` only worked incidentally. The `smtoffset` is an offset
into the `smtname, smtid` pair (here `"", idcounter`) which corresponds
to the smt bitvector `stringf("%s#%d", get_id(module), idcounter)` which
contains all the chunks this loop is iterating over.
Thus using an incrementing `smtoffset` (like the `$ff`/`$dff` case above
already does) should be the correct fix.
