This commit uses parameter packs to sink `debug_item()` construction
into the `debug_info()`-specific `add()` overload. This makes the stack
space use sub-linear in typical case rather than linear (which is still
the worst case). Oddly, the stack slots that get allocated now are all
for the `0` literal for `lsb_offset`. This could be fixed by allocating
numbers statically but the existing reduction in stack use of ~98% for
a representative example (Minerva SoC) should be enough.
Before this commit, this function would create a temporary `std::string`
per debug item (and scope). After this commit, an additional overload is
used to push that down the call stack. This reduces stack usage by
about 50% more on top of the previous commit.
Before this commit, the creation of (constant) attribute maps caused
`debug_info()` (which is built with `__attribute__((optnone))`) to
consume large amounts of stack space; up to tens of megabytes. This
caused problems particularly on macOS, where the default stack size
is 512 KiB.
After this commit, `std::map` objects are no longer created inline in
the `debug_info()` function, but are compiled to and then expanded from
a string literal in a subroutine call. This reduces stack space usage
by about 50%.
In C and C++, a `\x` escape sequence consumes as many hexadecimal digits
as there are available, so it is not composable with arbitrary alnum
characters afterwards. An octal escape sequence like `\000` always has
fixed width, avoiding an issue where `\x01c` and `\x1c` produce the same
string.
This extends the experimental incremental JSON API to allow arbitrary
smtlib subexpressions, defining smtlib constants and to allow access of
signals by their .yw path.
It also fixes a bug during .yw writing where values would be re-emitted
in later cycles if they have no newer defined value and a potential
crash when using --track-assumes.
Processes without sync rules correspond to simple decision trees that
directly correspond to `always @*` or `always_comb` blocks in Verilog,
and do not need a warning.
This removes the need to suppress warnings during the RTLIL-to-Verilog
conversion performed by Amaranth.
Before this commit, the combination of `_` and `0` format characters
would produce a result like `000000001010_1010`.
After this commit, it would be `0000_0000_1010_1010`.
This has a slight quirk where a format like `{:020_b}` results in
the output `0_0000_0000_1010_1010`, which is one character longer than
requested. Python has the same behavior, and it's not clear what would
be strictly speaking correct, so Python behavior is implemented.
The option is serialized to RTLIL as `_` (to match Python's option with
the same symbol), and sets the `group` flag. This flag inserts an `_`
symbol between each group of 3 digits (for decimal) or four digits (for
binary, hex, and octal).
The option is serialized to RTLIL as `#` (to match Python's and Rust's
option with the same symbol), and sets the `show_base` flag. Because
the flag is called `show_base` and not e.g. `alternate_format` (which
is what Python and Rust call it), in addition to the prefixes `0x`,
`0X`, `0o`, `0b`, the RTLIL option also prints the `0d` prefix.
This format type is used to print an Unicode character (code point) as
its UTF-8 serialization. To this end, two UTF-8 decoders (one for fmt,
one for cxxrtl) are added for rendering. When converted to a Verilog
format specifier, `UNICHAR` degrades to `%c` with the low 7 bits of
the code point, which has equivalent behavior for inputs not exceeding
ASCII. (SystemVerilog leaves source and display encodings completely
undefined.)
Before this commit, the existing alignments were `LEFT` and `RIGHT`,
which added the `padding` character to the right and left just before
finishing formatting. However, if `padding == '0'` and the alignment is
to the right, then the padding character (digit zero) was added after
the sign, if one is present.
After this commit, the special case for `padding == '0'` is removed,
and the new justification `NUMERIC` adds the padding character like
the justification `RIGHT`, except after the sign, if one is present.
(Space, for the `SPACE_MINUS` sign mode, counts as the sign.)
The first two were already supported with the `plus` boolean flag.
The third one is a new specifier, which is allocated the ` ` character.
In addition, `MINUS` is now allocated the `-` character, but old format
where there is no `+`, `-`, or `-` in the respective position is also
accepted for compatibility.
Before this commit, the `STRING` variant inserted a literal string;
the `CHARACTER` variant inserted a string. This commit renames them
to `LITERAL` and `STRING` respectively.
The --track-assumes option makes smtbmc keep track of which assumptions
were used by the solver when reaching an unsat case and to output that
set of assumptions. This is particularly useful to debug PREUNSAT
failures.
The --minimize-assumes option can be used in addition to --track-assumes
which will cause smtbmc to spend additional solving effort to produce a
minimal set of assumptions that are sufficient to cause the unsat
result.
Note that this functionality is only used by diagnostics emitted by
the C++ testbench; diagnostics emitted by the RTL in `eval()` do not
need to be recorded since they will be emitted again during replay.
Previously `unroll_stmt` would recurse over the smtlib expressions as
well as recursively follow not-yet-emitted definitions the current
expression depends on. While the depth of smtlib expressions generated
by yosys seems to be reasonably bounded, the dependency chain of
not-yet-emitted definitions can grow linearly with the size of the
design and linearly in the BMC depth.
This makes `unroll_stmt` use a `list` as stack, using python generators
and `recursion_helper` function to keep the overall code structure of
the previous recursive implementation.
Rename formal cells in addition to witness signals. This is required to
reliably track individual property states for the non-smtbmc flows.
Also removes a misplced `break` which resulted in only partial witness
renaming.
This commit adds a `debug_scopes` container, which can collect metadata
about scopes in a design. Currently the only scope is that of a module.
A module scope can be represented either by a module and cell pair, or
a `$scopeinfo` cell in a flattened netlist. The metadata produced by
the C++ API is identical between these two cases, so flattening remains
transparent to a netlist with CXXRTL.
The existing `debug_items` method is deprecated. This isn't strictly
necessary, but the user experience is better if the path is provided
as e.g. `"top "` (as some VCD viewers make it awkward to select topmost
anonymous scope), and the upgrade flow encourages that, which should
reduce frustration later.
While the new `debug_items` method could still be broken in the future
as the C++ API permits, this seems unlikely since the debug information
can now capture all common netlist aspects and includes several
extension points (via `debug_item`, `debug_scope` types).
Also, naming of scope paths was normalized to `path` or `top_path`,
as applicable.
Before this commit, `at()` and `operator[]` did the same thing, making
one of them redundant. There was also a somewhat awkward `parts_at()`,
which is more generic than `at()`.
After this commit, `parts_at()` becomes `at()`, and `at()` becomes
`operator[]`. Any quick-and-dirty accesses should use `items["name"]`,
which expects a single-part item. Generic code should instead use
`items.at("name")`, which will return multiple parts. Both will check
for the existence of the name.
This is unlikely to break downstream code since it's likely been using
the shorter `operator[]`. (In any case this API is not stable.)
Because all objects in C++ must have non-zero size, a `value<0>` has
a size of 4 despite consisting of a `uint32_t chunks[0]`. The debug
item assertions were not written expecting that and prevent any debug
items for such values from compiling.
The C API does not define exactly what happens for a zero-width debug
item, but it seems OK to say that they should refer to some unique
pointer that cannot be, in actuality, read or written. This allows
some techniques or optimizations that use `curr` pointers as keys and
assume they correspond 1-to-1 to simulation objects.
While SBY's aiger flow already removes non-assertion driving logic,
there are some uses of write_aiger outside of SBY that could end up with
$scopeinfo cells, so we explicitly ignore them.
The write_btor backend works differently and due to the way it
recursively visits cells, it would never reach isolated cells like
$scopeinfo.
These were previously not being converted correctly leading to yosys
internal cells being written to my netlist.
