This option allows you to process a design that includes unsupported
SVA. Unsupported SVA gets imported as formal cells using 'x inputs and
with the `unsupported_sva` attribute set. This allows you to get a
complete list of defined properties or to check only a supported subset
of properties. To ensure no properties are unintentionally skipped for
actual verification, even in cases where `-sva-continue-on-error` is
used by default to read and inspect a design, `hierarchy -simcheck` and
`hierarchy -smtcheck` (run by SBY) now ensure that no `unsupported_sva`
property cells remain in the design.
This fixes hierarchy when used with cell libraries that were loaded with
-defer and also makes more of the hierarchy visible to the auto-top
heuristic.
Uses the regex below to search (using vscode):
^\t\tlog\("(.{10,}(?<!\\n)|.{81,}\\n)"\);
Finds any log messages double indented (which help messages are)
and checks if *either* there are is no newline character at the end,
*or* the number of characters before the newline is more than 80.
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.
- Attempt to lookup a derived module if it potentially contains a port
connection with elaboration ambiguities
- Mark the cell if module has not yet been derived
- This can be extended to implement automatic hierarchical port
connections in a future change
I think the code is now a bit easier to follow (and has lost some
levels of indentation!).
The only non-trivial change is that I removed the check for
cell->type[0] != '$' when deciding whether to complain if we couldn't
find a module. This will always be true because of the early exit
earlier in the function.
There should be no functional change, but this splits up the control
flow across functions, using class fields to hold the state that's
being tracked. The result should be a bit easier to read.
This is part of work to add bind support, but I'm doing some
refactoring in the hierarchy pass to make the code a bit easier to
work with. The idea is that (eventually) the IFExpander object will
hold all the logic for expanding interfaces, and then other code can
do bind insertion.
- 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
The only difference between "RTLIL" and "ILANG" is that the latter is
the text representation of the former, as opposed to the in-memory
graph representation. This distinction serves no purpose but confuses
people: it is not obvious that the ILANG backend writes RTLIL graphs.
Passes `write_ilang` and `read_ilang` are provided as aliases to
`write_rtlil` and `read_rtlil` for compatibility.
