See the test case. PROC_ROM will consider this for evaluation, even
though -- without any actions -- lhs is empty (but still "uniform").
A zero-width memory is constructed, which later fails check with:
ERROR: Assert `width != 0' failed in kernel/mem.cc:518.
Ensure we don't proceed if there's nothing to encode.
Fixes a bug in the handling of the recently introduced $check cells.
Both $check and $print cells in clk2fflogic are handled by the same code
and the existing tests for that were only using $print cells. This
missed a bug where the additional A signal of $check cells that is not
present on $print cells was dropped due to a typo, rendering $check
cells non-functional.
Also updates the tests to explicitly cover both cell types such that
they would have detected the now fixed bug.
Checks to see if a cell is of type ff in the liberty,
and keeps track of an additional area value.

This fixes hierarchy when used with cell libraries that were loaded with
-defer and also makes more of the hierarchy visible to the auto-top
heuristic.
This adds support for `$check` cells in chformal and adds a `-lower`
mode which converts `$check` cells into `$assert` etc. cells with a
`$print` cell to output the `$check` message.
If the offset is larger than the signal itself,
meaning the signal is completely shifted out,
it tried to extract a negative amount of bits from the old signal.
This RTL pattern is suspicious since it is a complicated way of
arriving at a constant value, so we warn the user.
This allows tools like SBY to capture the $display output independent
from anything else sim might log. Additionally it provides source and
hierarchy locations for everything printed.
The previous version could easily generate a large amount of padding
when the constant factor was significantly larger than the width of the
shift data input. This could lead to huge amounts of logic being
generated before then being optimized away at a huge performance and
memory cost.
Additionally and more critically, when the input width was not a
multiple of the constant factor, the input data was padded with 'x bits
to such a multiple before interspersing the 'x padding needed to align
the selectable windows to power-of-two offsets.
Such a final padding would not be correct for shifts besides $shiftx,
and the previous version did attempt to remove that final padding at the
end so that the native zero/sign/x-extension behavior of the shift cell
would be used, but since the last selectable window also got
power-of-two padding appended after the padding the code is trying to
remove got added, it did not actually fully remove it in some cases.
I changed the code to only add 'x padding between selectable windows,
leaving the last selectable window unpadded. This omits the need to add
final padding to a multiple of the constant factor in the first place.
In turn, that means the only 'x bits added are actually impossible to
select. As a side effect no padding is added when the constant factor is
equal to or larger than the width of the shift data input, also solving
the reported performance bug.
This fixes#4056
Remove duplicate %.pmg -> %_pm.h pattern. One of the duplicates overrode
the other, and in some conditions there were build races as to whether
the target directory for the generated header would exist. Instead have
a single rule which is properly generalized.
