- 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
Minimizing scripts (and more generally identifying root cause) isn't necessary for regular bug reports. Rather, it can be useful for developers working on *fixing* bugs, and also for fuzzers to avoid spam.
Minor adjustments to `bugpoint.rst`.
Add note to `advanced_bugpoint.rst` about primitives when minimizing scripts.
Move the "creating an issue" section from bugpoint.rst to "reporting bugs" in `contributing.rst`.
Fix link to `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
Update `CONTRIBUTING.md` to refer to the bugpoint guide instead of the stack overflow guide.
More info for creating GitHub issues and the different sections.
Discuss additional details that can be included as comments on the issue. Also mention Gists for large files (preferable to downloading a .txt).
Add a warning about external plugins/tools.
Also add a note to `load_design.rst` about `Frontend`s and `-f` command line option.
Add a note on fuzzers, with a polite suggestion that if you're fuzzing you should put in the work of identifying the underlying issue so that you (and we) are confident you're not raising multiple issues for the same bug.
Also dropping the `autosectionlabel_maxdepth = 1` so that I can actually use the auto section labels.
Adds warning on bash substitution on scripting intro page when talking about `yosys -p`.
Talk about input files coming from command line, the `read` command, and features provided by `RTLIL::Frontend` (making note that `read_slang` is a subclass but `ghdl` isn't).
Linking to optiongroups doesn't add *that* much, and is kind of a pain; meanwhile having the optiongroups adds an extra level of indentation.
Instead of options needing to be in an option group, they instead go in either the root node or nested in a usage node. Putting them in a usage node allows for more-or-less the previous behaviour but without making it the default.
Add `options` map for setting `ContentListing` options with key:val pairs; currently only used with `ContentListing::codeblock()` language arg.
Fix generated codeblock rst to print each line of code with indentation, and change it to use explicit an `code-block` so we can set a language on it.
