Within generate schemes it is possible to have nested scopes, even
more liberally then outside generate blocks. So see to it that the
scopes properly stack with the generate blocks, and that wires and
behaviors are put in the right scopes.
Generating task/function definitions involves getting the functions
to put themselves into the generate scheme instead of the module,
and getting elaboration to elaborate those definitions in the
generate scheme.
Named begin/end blocks burried within generate schemes need to be
elaborated. Handle this by remembering to elaborate_scope on the
statements within the generate scheme.
In the process, clean up/regularize some of the member names and
methods.
Move the storage of wires (signals) out of the Module class into
the PScope base class, and instead of putting the PWires all into
the Module object, distribute them into the various lexical scopes
(derived from PScope) so that the wire names do not need to carry
scope information.
This required some rewiring of elaboration of signals, and rewriting
of lexical scope handling.
Generate case is a complex generate scheme where the items are
sub-schemes of the case generate itself. The parser handles them
something like nested generate statements, but storing the case
guards as the test expression. Then the elaborator notes the
case scheme and reaches into the case item schemes inside to make
up tests, select the generate item, and elaborate.
