Almost no code would specify Signal(_, name) as a positional argument
on purpose, but forgetting parens and accidentally placing signedness
into the name position is so common that we had a test for it.
This is necessary for consistency, since for transparent read ports,
we currently do not support .en at all (it is fixed at 1) due to
YosysHQ/yosys#760. Before this commit, changing port transparency
would require adding or removing an assignment to .en, which is
confusing and error-prone.
Also, most read ports are always enabled, so this behavior is also
convenient.
Also, replace `bits, sign = x.shape()` with more idiomatic
`width, signed = x.shape()`.
This unifies all properties corresponding to `len(x)` to `x.width`.
(Not all values have a `width` property.)
Fixes#210.
Platform.prepare() was completely broken after addition of local
clock domains, and only really worked before by a series of
accidents because there was a circular dependency between creation
of missing domains, fragment preparation, and insertion of pin
subfragments.
This commit untangles the dependency by adding a separate public
method Fragment.create_missing_domains(), used in build.plat.
It also makes DomainCollector consider both used and defined domains,
such that it will work on fragments before domain propagation, since
create_missing_domains() can be called by user code before prepare().
The fragment driving missing clock domain is not flattened anymore,
because flattening does not work well combined with local domains.
The elaboratable is already likely driving the clk/rst signals in
some way appropriate for the platform; if we expose them as ports
nevertheless it will cause problems downstream.
This pattern usually produces an extremely hard to notice bug that
will usually break a design when it is triggered, but will also be
hidden unless the pathological value of a boolean switch is used.
Fixes#159.
This might help with propagation of locations through optimizer
passes, since not all of them take care to preserve cells at all,
but usually wires stay intact when possible.
Also fixes incorrect source location on value.part().
Before this commit, it was a print statement, and therefore, command
interpreter options like -Wignore did not affect it. There is no API
to access the warning filter list, so it was turned into a real
warning; and further, since Python 3.6, tracemalloc can be used
as a standard method to display traceback to allocation site instead
of the ad-hoc traceback logic that was used in Elaboratable before.
