Minimizing scripts (and more generally identifying root cause) isn't necessary for regular bug reports. Rather, it can be useful for developers working on *fixing* bugs, and also for fuzzers to avoid spam.
Minor adjustments to `bugpoint.rst`.
Add note to `advanced_bugpoint.rst` about primitives when minimizing scripts.
Move the "creating an issue" section from bugpoint.rst to "reporting bugs" in `contributing.rst`.
Fix link to `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
Update `CONTRIBUTING.md` to refer to the bugpoint guide instead of the stack overflow guide.
More info for creating GitHub issues and the different sections.
Discuss additional details that can be included as comments on the issue. Also mention Gists for large files (preferable to downloading a .txt).
Add a warning about external plugins/tools.
Also add a note to `load_design.rst` about `Frontend`s and `-f` command line option.
Add a note on fuzzers, with a polite suggestion that if you're fuzzing you should put in the work of identifying the underlying issue so that you (and we) are confident you're not raising multiple issues for the same bug.
Also dropping the `autosectionlabel_maxdepth = 1` so that I can actually use the auto section labels.
Adds warning on bash substitution on scripting intro page when talking about `yosys -p`.
Talk about input files coming from command line, the `read` command, and features provided by `RTLIL::Frontend` (making note that `read_slang` is a subclass but `ghdl` isn't).
Drop svg badges. Even though they were only appearing in the html version, the latexpdf target was still trying to download them, leading to warnings-as-errors in offline builds.
I was thinking about compiling the dummy example and including a simple example usage, but it turns out functional.h isn't (currently) available for extensions.
Acknowledge the minimal functional backend, highlighting what's new/different for our SExpr targets.
Add and use the reference `minimal backend`.
Use `note` directives to point out missing code sections (highlighting that the included diffs are not complete).
Racket *is* still strongly-typed, it's just dynamic instead of static. Adjust phrasing to reflect that.
Adjust some of the literal includes, adding a new section from the `Functional::AbstractVisitor`, splitting the `Module::write_eval()` in twain and adding a `smtlib.cc` literal include for the node iteration, as well as for the `FunctionalSmtBackend` to compare against the minimal backend.
Move `Backend` description up to minimal functional backend section.
Add `dummy.cc`, loosely based on `backends/functional/test_generic.cc` but as an actualy backend and without the memory testing.
Skeleton section for minimal functional backend, describing the aforementioned `dummy.cc`.
