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.
These can be used to protect undefined flip-flop initialization values
from optimizations that are not sound for formal verification and can
help mapping all solver-provided values in witness traces for flows that
use different backends simultaneously.
genrtlil.cc and simplify.cc had inconsistent and slightly broken
handling of signedness for array querying functions. These functions are
defined to return a signed result. Simplify always produced an unsigned
and genrtlil always a signed 32-bit result ignoring the context.
Includes tests for the the relvant edge cases for context dependent
conversions.
