Compared to tests in the repository root, tests in the package have
many downsides:
* Unless explicitly excluded in find_packages(), tests and their
support code effectively become a part of public API.
This, unfortunately, happened with FHDLTestCase, which was never
intended for downstream use.
* Even if explicitly excluded from the setuptools package, using
an editable install, or setting PYTHONPATH still allows accessing
the tests.
* Having a sub-package that is present in the source tree but not
exported (or, worse, exported only sometimes) is confusing.
* The name `nmigen.test` cannot be used for anything else, such as
testing utilities that *are* intended for downstream use.
This commit improves handling of resets in AsyncFIFO in two ways:
* First, resets no longer violate Gray counter CDC invariants.
* Second, write domain reset now empties the entire FIFO.
Although constructor methods can improve clarity, there are many
contexts in which it is useful to use range() as a shape: notably
Layout, but also Const and AnyConst/AnyValue. Instead of duplicating
these constructor methods everywhere (which is not even easily
possible for Layout), use casting to Shape, introduced in 6aabdc0a.
Fixes#225.
This can cause confusion:
* If the erroneous object is None, it is printed as 'None', which
appears as a string (and could be the result of converting None
to a string.)
* If the erroneous object is a string, it is printed as ''<val>'',
which is a rather strange combination of quotes.
Unless exact_depth=True is specified.
The logic introduced in this commit is idempotent: that is, if one
uses the depth of one AsyncFIFOBuffered in the constructor of another
AsyncFIFOBuffered, they will end up with the same depth. More naive
logic would result in an unbounded, quadratic growth with each such
step.
Fixes#219.
These functions were originally changed in 3ed51938, in an attempt
to make them take one cycle instead of two. However, this does not
actually work because of drawbacks of the simulator interface.
Avoid committing to any specific implementation for now, and instead
make them compat-only extensions.
This obscure functionality was likely only ever used in old MiSoC
code, and doesn't justify the added complexity. It was also not
provided (and could not be reasonably provided) in SyncFIFOBuffered,
which made its utility extremely marginal.
This commit:
* moves lists of universally useful imports from `nmigen` to
`nmigen.hdl` and `nmigen.lib`, reimporting them in `nmigen`;
* replaces lots of imports from individual parts of `nmigen.hdl`
with a star import from `nmigen.hdl`;
* replaces imports in tests with what we expect downstream code
to use;
* adds some missing imports in `nmigen.formal`.
