Provides very simple ConcurrentQueue and ThreadPool classes that build even when threading is disabled.
Also provides a `DeferredLogs` class that captures log output to be replayed on the main thread
later.
When implementing custom log_... functions or custom overloads for the
core log functions like log_signal it is necessary to return `char *`
that are valid long enough.
The log_... functions implemented in log.cc use either `log_id_cache` or
`string_buf` which both are cleared on log_pop.
This commit adds a public `log_str` function which stores its argument
in the `log_id_cache` and returns the stored copy, such that custom
log functions outside of log.cc can also create strings that remain
valid until the next `log_pop`.
It's a repeating pattern to print an error message tied to an AST
node. Start using an 'input_error' helper for that. Among other
things this is beneficial in shortening the print lines, which tend
to be long.
- Prevent unmatched expected error patterns from self-matching
- Prevent infinite recursion on unmatched expected warnings
- Always print the error message for unmatched error patterns
- Add test coverage for all unmatched message types
- Add test coverage for excess matched logs and warnings
When an expected logger error pattern is unmatched, the logger raises
another (hidden) error. Because of the previous ordering of actions,
`logv_error_with_prefix()` would inadvertently invoke `yosys_atexit()`
twice, causing a double-free.
The only difference between "RTLIL" and "ILANG" is that the latter is
the text representation of the former, as opposed to the in-memory
graph representation. This distinction serves no purpose but confuses
people: it is not obvious that the ILANG backend writes RTLIL graphs.
Passes `write_ilang` and `read_ilang` are provided as aliases to
`write_rtlil` and `read_rtlil` for compatibility.
The workflow of debugging fatal pass errors in Yosys is flawed in
three ways:
1. Running Yosys under a debugger is sufficient for the debugger
to catch some fatal errors (segfaults, aborts, STL exceptions)
but not others (`log_error()`, `log_cmd_error()`). This is
neither obvious nor easy to remember.
2. To catch Yosys-specific fatal errors, it is necessary to set
a breakpoint at `logv_error_with_prefix()`, or at least,
`logv_error()`. This is neither obvious nor easy to remember,
and GDB's autocomplete takes many seconds to suggest function
names due to the large amount of symbols in Yosys.
3. If a breakpoint is not set and Yosys encounters with such
a fatal error, the process terminates. When debugging a crash
that takes a long time to reproduce (or a nondeterministic crash)
this can waste a significant amount of time.
To solve this problem, add a macro `YS_DEBUGTRAP` that acts as a hard
breakpoint (if available), and a macro `YS_DEBUGTRAP_IF_DEBUGGING`
that acts as a hard breakpoint only if debugger is present.
Then, use `YS_DEBUGTRAP_IF_DEBUGGING` in `logv_error_with_prefix()`
to obviate the need for a breakpoint on nearly every platform.

This PR allows us to use $info/$warning/$error/$fatal **at elaboration time** within a generate block.
This is very useful to stop a synthesis of a parametrized block when an
illegal combination of parameters is chosen.
o Provide log_file_warning() and log_file_error() that prefix the log
message with <filename>:<lineno>: to be easily picked up by IDEs that
need to step through errors.
o Simplify some duplicate logging code in kernel/log.cc
o Use the new log functions in genrtlil.
