* "map": group gates into LUTs;
* "pack": replace gates with LUTs.
This is important because we have FlowMap and DF-Map, and currently
our messages are ambiguous.
Also clean up some other log messages while we're at it.
A typical use of `bugpoint` would involve a script with a pass under
test, e.g.:
flowmap -relax -optarea 100
and would be invoked as:
bugpoint -yosys ./yosys -script flowmap.ys -clean -cells
This replaces the current design with the minimal design that still
crashes the `flowmap.ys` script.
`bugpoint` can also be used to perform generic design minimization
using `select`, e.g. the following script:
select i:* %x t:$_MUX_ %i -assert-max 0
would remove all parts of the design except for an unbroken path from
an input to an output port that goes through exactly one $_MUX_ cell.
(The condition is inverted.)
The idea behind this simplification is that a N-bit signal X being
compared with an M-bit constant where M>N and the constant has Nth
or higher bit set, it either always succeeds or always fails.
However, the existing implementation only worked with one-hot signals
for some reason. It also printed incorrect messages.
This commit adjusts the simplification to have as much power as
possible, and fixes other bugs.
The initial list of hits was generated with the codespell command
below, and each hit was evaluated and fixed manually while taking
context into consideration.
DIRS="kernel/ frontends/ backends/ passes/ techlibs/"
DIRS="${DIRS} libs/ezsat/ libs/subcircuit"
codespell $DIRS -S *.o -L upto,iff,thru,synopsys,uint
More hits were found by looking through comments and strings manually.
Before this commit, only unsigned comparisons with all-0 would be
simplified. This commit also makes the code handling such comparisons
to be more rigorous and not abort on unexpected input.
The semantics of an RTLIL constant that has less bits than its
declared bit width is zero padding. Therefore, if the output of
memory_collect will be used for simulation, truncating 'x from
the end of \INIT will produce incorrect simulation results.
