This doesn't do anything useful yet: the patch just adds support for
the syntax to the lexer and parser and adds some tests to check the
syntax parses properly. This generates AST nodes, but doesn't yet
generate RTLIL.
Since our existing hierarchical_identifier parser doesn't allow bit
selects (so you can't do something like foo[1].bar[2].baz), I've also
not added support for a trailing bit select (the "constant_bit_select"
non-terminal in "bind_target_instance" in the spec). If we turn out to
need this in future, we'll want to augment hierarchical_identifier and
its other users too.
Note that you can't easily use the BNF from the spec:
bind_directive ::=
"bind" bind_target_scope [ : bind_target_instance_list]
bind_instantiation ;
| "bind" bind_target_instance bind_instantiation ;
even if you fix the lookahead problem, because code like this matches
both branches in the BNF:
bind a b b_i (.*);
The problem is that 'a' could either be a module name or a degenerate
hierarchical reference. This seems to be a genuine syntactic
ambiguity, which the spec resolves (p739) by saying that we have to
wait until resolution time (the hierarchy pass) and take whatever is
defined, treating 'a' as an instance name if it names both an instance
and a module.
To keep the parser simple, it currently accepts this invalid syntax:
bind a.b : c d e (.*);
This is invalid because we're in the first branch of the BNF above, so
the "a.b" term should match bind_target_scope: a module or interface
identifier, not an arbitrary hierarchical identifier.
This will fail in the hierarchy pass (when it's implemented in a
future patch).
The recent fix for case expression width detection causes the width of
the expressions to be queried before they are simplified. Because the
logic supporting module scope identifiers only existed in simplify,
looking them up would fail during width detection. This moves the logic
to a common helper used in both simplify() and detectSignWidthWorker().
- The case expression and case item expressions are extended to the
maximum width among them, and are only interpreted as signed if all of
them are signed
- Add overall width and sign detection for AST_CASE
- Add sign argument to genWidthRTLIL helper
- Coverage for both const and non-const case statements
This adds a mechanism for marking certain portions of elaboration as
occurring within unevaluated ternary branches. To enable elaboration of
the overall ternary, this also adds width detection for these
unelaborated function calls.
This fixes binding signed memory reads, signed unary expressions, and
signed complex SigSpecs to ports. This also sets `is_signed` for wires
generated from signed params when -pwires is used. Though not necessary
for any of the current usages, `is_signed` is now appropriately set when
the `extendWidth` helper is used.
- Signed cell outputs are sign extended when bound to larger wires
- Signed connections are sign extended when bound to larger cell inputs
- Sign extension is performed in hierarchy and flatten phases
- genrtlil indirects signed constants through signed wires
- Other phases producing RTLIL may need to be updated to preserve
signedness information
- Resolves#1418
- Resolves#2265
As per suggestion made in https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/pull/1987, now:
RTLIL::wire holds an is_signed field.
This is exported in JSON backend
This is exported via dump_rtlil command
This is read in via ilang_parser
I tried to keep only the enum-related changes, and minimize the diff. (The
original commit also had a lot of work done to get typedefs working, but yosys
has diverged quite a bit since the 2018-03-09 commit, with a new typedef
implementation.) I did not include the import related changes either.
Original commit:
"Initial implementation of enum, typedef, import. Still a WIP."
