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
Addresses the following issues: 656, 2423, 2493
The main part is converting ice40_dsp to recognize the new FF types
created in opt_dff instead of trying to recognize the mux patterns on
its own.
The fsm call has been moved upwards because the passes cannot deal with
$dffe/$sdff*, and other optimizations don't help it much anyway.
This pass is a proper subset of opt_rmdff, which is called by opt, which
is called by every synth flow in the coarse part. Thus, it never
actually does anything and can be safely removed.
According to the official simulation model, and also cross-checked
on real hardware, the data output of the SPRAM when chipselect is
low is kept stable. It doesn't go undefined.

This commit tries to carefully follow the documented behavior of LSE
and Synplify. It will use `syn_ramstyle` attribute if there are any
write ports, and `syn_romstyle` attribute otherwise.
* LSE supports both `syn_ramstyle` and `syn_romstyle`.
* Synplify only supports `syn_ramstyle`, with same values as LSE.
* Synplify also supports `syn_rw_conflict_logic`, which is not
documented as supported for LSE.
Limitations of the Yosys implementation:
* LSE/Synplify appear to interpret attribute values insensitive
to case. There is currently no way to do this in Yosys (attrmap
can only change case of attribute names).
* LSE/Synplify support `syn_ramstyle="block_ram,no_rw_check"`
syntax to turn off insertion of transparency logic. There is
currently no way to support multiple valued attributes in
memory_bram. It is also not clear if that is a good idea, since
it can cause sim/synth mismatches.
* LSE/Synplify/1364.1 support block ROM inference from full case
statements. Yosys does not currently perform this transformation.
* LSE/Synplify propagate `syn_ramstyle`/`syn_romstyle` attributes
from the module to the inner memories. There is currently no way
to do this in Yosys (attrmvcp only works on cells and wires).
