- add `uv` to dependencies: saves builder(s) from manually having to manage a venv for python build dependencies
- when building wheels, pip automatically creates the environment with those dependencies, so no need for uv
- when running simply `make ENABLE_PYOSYS=1`, this is not the case. people attempting to `pip3 install --upgrade pybind11 cxxheaderparser` to add it to their system packages will be met with a scare message about "breaking system packages"
- update installation instructions to drop boost and add uv instead
- update ci scripts to use `macos-15[-intel]` (`macos-13` sunset in early december)
For consistency.
Also trying a new thing: only rebuilding objects that use the pybind11 library. The idea is these are the only objects that include the Python/pybind headers and thus the only ones that depend on the Python ABI in any capacity, so other objects can be reused across wheel builds. This has the potential to cut down build times.
- Rewrite all Python features to use the pybind11 library instead of boost::python.
Unlike boost::python, pybind11 is a header-only library that is just included by Pyosys code, saving a lot of compile time on wheels.
- Factor out as much "translation" code from the generator into proper C++ files
- Fix running the embedded interpreter not supporting "from pyosys import libyosys as ys" like wheels
- Move Python-related elements to `pyosys` directory at the root of the repo
- Slight shift in bridging semantics:
- Containers are declared as "opaque types" and are passed by reference to Python - many methods have been implemented to make them feel right at home without the overhead/ambiguity of copying to Python and then copying back after mutation
- Monitor/Pass use "trampoline" pattern to support virual methods overridable in Python: virtual methods no longer require `py_` prefix
- Create really short test set for pyosys that just exercises basic functionality
This is a complete rewrite of the RTLIL-kernel-side bufnorm code. This
is done to support inout ports and undirected connections as well as to
allow removal of cells while in bufnorm mode.
This doesn't yet update the (experimental) `bufnorm` pass, so to
manually test the new kernel functionality, it is important to only use
`bufnorm -update` and `bufnorm -reset` which rely entirely on the kernel
functionality. Other modes of the `bufnorm` pass may still fail in the
presence of inout ports or undirected connections.
