* Given a private name `$\d+` in RTLIL (as they are not named in the IR)
* Not automatically added to VCD files (as they are not named in the IR)
* Cannot be traced to a VCD (as they have no name to put in the file)
* Cannot be used with an unnamed top-level port (as there is no name)
This isn't expected to result in a significant increase in memory use,
so for now it's enabled by default. Elaboration chains where it is not
desired to preserve origins can delete the `origins` attribute from
the fragment and nothing will be stored.
The interface `Fragment.origins` remains private, as is the rest of
the `Fragment` interface (including itself), but it enables certain
codebases that currently use a much more invasive technique to rely on
reading a single private field.
This change completes commit 9dc0617e and makes all the tests pass.
It corresponds with the ongoing langauge reference documentation effort.
Fixes#781.
At the moment there are two issues with assignment of names in pysim:
1. Names are not deduplicated. It is possible (and frequent) for names
to be included twice in VCD output.
2. Names are different compared to what is emitted in RTLIL, Verilog,
or CXXRTL output.
This commit fixes issue (1), and issue (2) will be fixed by the new IR.
The design decision of using split memory ports in the internal
representation (copied from Yosys) was misguided and caused no end
of misery. Remove any uses of `$memrd`/`$memwr` and lower memories
directly to a combined memory cell, currently the RTLIL one.
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.
