Used to select all modules including boxes, set when both `full` and `boxes` are true in the constructor, pulling down `full_selection`.
Add `Selection::selects_all()` method as short hand for `full_selection || complete_selection`.
Update selection operations to account for complete selections.
Add static methods to `Selection` for creating a new empty/full/complete selection to make it clearer to users when doing so.
Use said static methods to replace most instances of the `Selection` constructor.
Update `Selection::optimize` to use
New methods on Design to push/pop selection instead of accessing the selection stack directly. Includes methods for pushing a full/complete/empty selection.
Also helper methods on modules to check `is_selected` and `is_selected_whole`.
Now uses two enums, one to control whether or not to include partially selected
modules (and what to do if they are encountered), and one to control whether or
not to include boxed modules (and what to do if they are encountered).
Mark Design::selected{modules, whole_modules}() deprecated and make them
provide warnings on boxes. There are a lot of places that use them and I can't
always tell which ones support boxed modules and which don't.
The `Design::selected_*()` methods no longer unconditionally skip boxed modules. Instead, selections are now box and design aware.
The selection constructor now optionally takes a design pointer, and has a new `selects_boxes` flag. If the selection has an assigned design, then `Selection::selected_*()` will only return true for boxed modules if the selects_boxes flag is set. A warning is raised if a selection is checked and no design is set. Selections can change design via the `Selection::optimize()` method.
Most places that iterate over `Design::modules()` and check `Selection::selected_module()` should instead use `Design::selected_modules()`.
Since boxed modules should only ever be selected explicitly, and `full_selection` (now) refers to all non-boxed modules, `Selection::optimize()` will clear the `full_selection` flag if the `selects_boxes` flag is enabled, and instead explicitly selects all modules (including boxed modules). This also means that `full_selection` will only get automatically applied to a design without any boxed modules.
These changes necessitated a number of changes to `select.cc` in order to support this functionality when operating on selections, in particular when combining selections (e.g. by union or difference).
To minimize redundancy, a number of places that previously iterated over `design->modules()` now push the current selection to the design, use `design->selected_modules()`, and then pop the selection when done.
Introduce `RTLIL::NamedObject`, to allow for iterating over all members of a module with a single iterator instead of needing to iterate over wires, cells, memories, and processes separately.
Also implement `Module::selected_{memories, processes, members}()` to match wires and cells methods. The `selected_members()` method combines each of the other `selected_*()` methods into a single list.
Drop the parts that are being dropped.
Move the things that are being moved.
Also move the verilog stuff out of README and into the docs.
GettingStarted is less cut and dry, so hold off on that one.
`Const::size()` returns int, so change iterators that use it to `auto` instead of `size_t`.
For cases where size is being explicitly cast to `int`, use the wrapper that we already have instead: `Yosys::GetSize()`.
There's a mismatch between what `kernel/mem.cc` emits for memories
with no read ports and what the internal RTLIL check expects.
The point of dispute it whether some of the parameters relating to read
ports have a zero-width value in this case. The `mem.cc` code says no,
the internal checker says yes.
Surveying the other `$mem_v2` parameters, and internal cell parameters
in general, I am inclined to side with the `mem.cc` code.
This breaks RTLIL compatibility but for an obscure edge case.
This is already supported by `SigSpec` and since both `SigChunk` and
`SigSpec` implement `extract` which is the multi-bit variant of this,
there is no good reason for `SigChunk` to not support
`SigBit operator[](int offset)`.
Only the `B` input (the shift amount) can be marked as signed on a
`$shiftx` cell. Adapt the helper accordingly and prevent it from
creating invalid RTLIL when called with `is_signed` set. Previously
it would mark both `A` and `B` as signed.
Previously `extract` on a `SigSpec` would always unpack it. Since a
significant amount of `SigSpec`s have one or few chunks, it's worth
having a dedicated implementation.
This is especially true, since the RTLIL frontend calls into this for
every `wire [lhs:rhs]` slice, making this `extract` take up 40% when
profiling `read_rtlil` with one of the largest coarse grained RTLIL
designs I had on hand.
With this change the `read_rtlil` profile looks like I would expect it
to look like, but I noticed that a lot of the other core RTLIL methods
also are a bit too eager with unpacking or implementing
`SigChunk`/`Const` overloads that just convert to a single chunk
`SigSpec` and forward to the implementation for that, when a direct
implementation would avoid temporary std::vector allocations. While not
relevant for `read_rtlil`, to me it looks like there might be a few easy
overall performance gains to be had by addressing this more generally.
