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.
`b_width_capped` already exists for preventing arithmetic overflow, limiting the value of `b_width` to 30. This just changes the left shifts to also use it.
The caveat of incorrect results for extremely large values of `a_width` still applies, as does the improbability of that actually happening.
This fixes#4844 (or at least, the floating point exception; the circuit still isn't valid but I think that's fine).
In the current documentation, it's unclear if `result.string` serves as
an example of a string name. It is furthermore unclear what the purpose
of `result.string` is. Clarify this by adding a small explanation (and
fix a typo)
The B port is for single-bit summands. These can just as well be
represented as an additional summand on the A port (which supports
summands of arbitrary width). An upcoming `$macc_v2` cell won't be
special-casing single-bit summands in any way.
In preparation, make the following changes:
* remove the `bit_ports` field from the `Macc` helper (instead add any
single-bit summands to `ports` next to other summands)
* leave `B` empty on cells emitted from `Macc::to_cell`
