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 fixes some edge cases the previous version didn't handle properly
by simplifying the logic of determining directly driven wires and
representatives to use as buffer inputs.
The aiger2 backend checks for unsupported cells during indexing. This
causes it to fail when `$connect` or `$tribuf` (as workaround for
missing 'z-$buf support) cells are present in the module.
Since bufnorm adds these cells automatically, it is very easy to end up
with them due to unconnected wires or e.g. `$specify` cells, which do
not pose an actual problem for the backend, since it will never
encounter those during a traversal.
With this, we ignore them during indexing and only produce an actual error
message if we reach such a cell during the traversal.
The `portarcs` pass was already ignoring `$buf` cells when loading
timing data, but now bufnorm will also emit `$input_port` and `$connect`
helper cells, which need to be ignored as well.
Was previously the number of proposed renames, but since renames can be skipped this causes the final count to differ from the number of actually renamed objects.
Check counts in `tests/various/autoname.ys`.
