- Add support for assignments within expressions, e.g., `x[y++] = z;` or
`x = (y *= 2) - 1;`. The logic is handled entirely within the parser
by injecting statements into the current procedural block.
- Add support for pre-increment/decrement statements, which are
behaviorally equivalent to post-increment/decrement statements.
- Fix non-standard attribute position used for post-increment/decrement
statements.
This is primarily intended to enable the standard-permitted use of
module-scoped identifiers to refer to tasks and non-constant functions.
As a side-effect, this also adds support for the non-standard use of
module-scoped identifiers referring to constant functions, a feature
that is supported in some other tools, including Iverilog.
This adds a native json based witness trace format. By having a common
format that includes everything we support, and providing a conversion
utility (yosys-witness) we no longer need to implement every format for
every tool that deals with witness traces, avoiding a quadratic
opportunity to introduce subtle bugs.
Included:
* smt2: New yosys-smt2-witness info lines containing full hierarchical
paths without lossy escaping.
* yosys-smtbmc --dump-yw trace.yw: Dump results in the new format.
* yosys-smtbmc --yw trace.yw: Read new format as constraints.
* yosys-witness: New tool to convert witness formats.
Currently this can only display traces in a human-readable-only
format and do a passthrough read/write of the new format.
* ywio.py: Small python lib for reading and writing the new format.
Used by yosys-smtbmc and yosys-witness to avoid duplication.
