- *_en is split into *_ce (clock enable) and *_aload (async load aka
latch gate enable), so both can be present at once
- has_d is removed
- has_gclk is added (to have a clear marker for $ff)
- d_is_const and val_d leftovers are removed
- async2sync, clk2fflogic, opt_dff are updated to operate correctly on
FFs with async load
This mode will be used whenever read port cannot be handled in the
"extract address register" way, ie. whenever it has enable, reset,
init functionality or (in the future) mixed transparency mask.
There will soon be more (versioned) memory cells, so handle passes that
only care if a cell is memory-related by a simple helper call instead of
a hardcoded list.
This commit only affects translation of RTLIL processes (for which
there is limited support).
Due to the event-driven nature of Verilog, processes like
reg x;
always @*
x <= 1;
may never execute. This can be fixed in SystemVerilog code by using
`always_comb` instead of `always @*`, but in Verilog-2001 the options
are limited. This commit implements the following workaround:
reg init = 0;
reg x;
always @* begin
if (init) begin end
x <= 1;
end
Fixes#2271.
The $div and $mod cells use truncating division semantics (rounding
towards 0), as defined by e.g. Verilog. Another rounding mode, flooring
(rounding towards negative infinity), can be used in e.g. VHDL. The
new $divfloor cell provides this flooring division.
This commit also fixes the handling of $div in opt_expr, which was
previously optimized as if it was $divfloor.
The $div and $mod cells use truncating division semantics (rounding
towards 0), as defined by e.g. Verilog. Another rounding mode, flooring
(rounding towards negative infinity), can be used in e.g. VHDL. The
new $modfloor cell provides this flooring modulo (also known as "remainder"
in several languages, but this name is ambiguous).
This commit also fixes the handling of $mod in opt_expr, which was
previously optimized as if it was $modfloor.
If an init value is emitted for a reg, an (*init*) attribute is never
necessary, since it is exactly equivalent. On the other hand, some
tools that consume Verilog (ISE, Vivado, Quartus) complain about
(*init*) attributes because their interpretation differs from Yosys.
All (*init*) attributes that would not become reg init values anyway
are emitted as before.
Before this commit, zero width constants were dumped as "" (empty
string). Unfortunately, 1364-2005 5.2.3.3 indicates that an empty
string is equivalent to "\0", and is 8 bits wide, so that's wrong.
After this commit, a replication operation with a count of zero is
used instead, which is explicitly permitted per 1364-2005 5.1.14,
and is defined to have size zero. (Its operand has to have a non-zero
size for it to be legal, though.)
Fixes#948 (again).
Currently, the only ways (determined by grepping for regex \bSa\b) to
end up with RTLIL::Sa in a netlist is by reading a Verilog constant
with ? in it as a part of case, or by running certain FSM passes.
Both of these cases should be round-tripped back to ? in Verilog.
