This saves space and doesn't cost very much since we hardly ever have nonzero refcounts any more.
It also allows for IdStrings with negative indexes, which we're going to add.
In order to support unsized constants being used as parameters, the `const` struct needs to know if it is unsized (so that the parameter can be used to set the size).
Add unsized flag to param value serialization and rtlil back-/front-end.
Add cell params to `tests/rtlil/everything.v`.
- consistently use value semantics for objects passed along FFI boundary
(not ideal but matches previous behavior)
- add new overload of RTLIL::Module: addMemory that does not require a "donor" object
- the idea is `Module`, `Memory`, `Wire`, `Cell` and `Process` cannot be directly constructed in Python and can only be added to the existing memory hierarchy in `Design` using the `add` methods - `Memory` requiring a donor object was the odd one out here
- fix superclass member wrapping only looking at direct superclass for inheritance instead of recursively checking superclasses
- fix superclass member wrapping not using superclass's denylists
- fix Design's `__str__` function not returning a string
- fix the generator crashing if there's any `std::function` in a header
- misc: add a crude `__repr__` based on `__str__`
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.
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.
Now that we only call `bitvectorize()` in non-const methods, we can move the casting-away-const to only happen
in `bitvectorize()`, which is deprecated so only some plugins (maybe) are using it.
This means `const` `Const` methods don't change the underlying data, which means
they'll be safe to use from multiple threads if/when we want to do that.
