Commit abbebf8e used __getattr__ to proxy Value methods called on
Record. However, that did not proxy operators like __add__ because
Python looks up the special operator methods directly on the class
and does not run __getattr__ if they are missing.
Instead of using __getattr__, explicitly enumerate and wrap every
Value method that should be proxied. This also ensures backwards
compatibility if more methods are added to Value later.
Fixes#533.
Preserve the original user-provided shape, while still checking
its validity. This allows Enum decoders to work when specifying
record fields with Enums.
Fixes#393.
Shapes have long been a part of nMigen, but represented using tuples.
This commit adds a Shape class (using namedtuple for backwards
compatibility), and accepts anything castable to Shape (including
enums, ranges, etc) anywhere a tuple was accepted previously.
In addition, `signed(n)` and `unsigned(n)` are added as aliases for
`Shape(n, signed=True)` and `Shape(n, signed=False)`, transforming
code such as `Signal((8, True))` to `Signal(signed(8))`.
These aliases are also included in prelude.
Preparation for #225.
In some cases, nMigen uses type() instead of isinstance() to dispatch
on types. Make sure all such uses of type() are robust; in addition,
make it clear that nMigen AST classes are not meant to be subclassed.
(Record is an exception.)
Fixes#65.
