Currently the order of extraction can vary based on which ABC runs finish first. That's
nondeterministic, therefore bad. Instead, force the processing to happen in the same order
as `assigned_cells`, i.e. the same order we use when not using parallelism. This should
make everything deterministic.
Note that we still allow ABC runs to complete out of order. Out-of-order results are
just not extracted until all the previous runs have completed and their results
extracted.
1) Change token from ABC_DONE to YOSYS_ABC_DONE to be a bit more robust against false matches.
2) Emit the token from the sourced script so that we don't have to worry about it showing up in the echoing
of the command as it executes. It will only appear in ABC stdout when it executes, i.e. when
our script has completed.
3) `set abcout` doesn't actually switch ABC to line buffering on stdout, since HAVE_SETVBUF is not actually
set in ABC builds in general. So stop using that. ABC does the necessary flushing when
`source` has finished.
With the updated bufnorm code, buffered 'z drivers are used as anchor
points for undirected connections. These are currently not supported by
read/write_xaiger2, so we temporarily replace those by roughly
equivalent $tribuf cells which will be handled as blackboxes that
properly roundtrip through the xaiger2 front and backend.
This ensures that entering and leaving bufnorm followed by `opt_clean`
is equivalent to just running `opt_clean`.
Also make sure that 'z-$buf cells get techmapped in a compatible way.
Doing ABC runs in parallel can actually make things slower when every ABC run requires
spawning an ABC subprocess --- especially when using popen(), which on glibc does not
use vfork(). What seems to happen is that constant fork()ing keeps making the main
process data pages copy-on-write, so the main process code that is setting up each ABC
call takes a lot of minor page-faults, slowing it down.
The solution is pretty straightforward although a little tricky to implement.
We just reuse ABC subprocesses. Instead of passing the ABC script name on the command
line, we spawn an ABC REPL and pipe a command into it to source the script. When that's
done we echo an `ABC_DONE` token instead of exiting. Yosys then puts the ABC process
onto a stack which we can pull from the next time we do an ABC run.
For one of our large designs, this is an additional 5x speedup of the primary AbcPass.
It does 5155 ABC runs, all very small; runtime of the AbcPass goes from 760s to 149s
(not very scientific benchmarking but the effect size is large).
Large circuits can run hundreds or thousands of ABCs in a single AbcPass.
For some circuits, some of those ABC runs can run for hundreds of seconds.
Running ABCs in parallel with each other and in parallel with main-thread
processing (reading and writing BLIF files, copying ABC BLIF output into
the design) can give large speedups.
The code in memory_libmap expects `clk_en` to be initialized for all
`PortVariant`s but the parsing in memlib.cc didn't initialize it for
variants of kind `PortKind::Ar` (async read ports).
While this fixes the immediate CI failure, it would be best to refactor
the code so it becomes obvious if something isn't initialized.
The vast majority of ID(...) uses are in a context that is overloaded
for StaticIdString or will cause implicit conversion to an IdString
constant reference. For some sufficently overloaded contexts, implicit
conversion may fail, so it's useful to have a method to force obtaining
a `IdString const &` from an ID(...) use.
When turning all literal IdStrings of the codebase into StaticIdStrings
this was needed in exactly one place, for which this commit adds an
`id_string()` call.
When FILTERLIB is defined (attempts to compile libparse more or less standalone,) mark the `LibertyParser::error()` as weak so utilities using libparse as a library can override its behavior (the default behavior being exit(1)). As the code is quite performance-critical, I've elected to not modify it to raise an exception or have a callback or similar and simply allow for a link-time replacement.
We call 'assign_map.set()' below which wipes the `SigMap` and reconstructs it.
This operation is expensive because it scans the whole module. I think it's
better to make heavyweight operations more visible so I'm removing
the less obvious operation.
Currently `assign_map` is rebuilt from the module from scratch every time we invoke ABC.
That doesn't scale when we do thousands of ABC runs over large modules. Instead,
create it once and then maintain incrementally it as we update the module.
Still unsupported:
- wide muxes (`$_MUX16_` and friends)
Partially supported types have comments in `test_cell.cc`.
Fix `CellTypes::eval() for `$_NMUX_`.
Fix `RTLIL::Cell::fixup_parameters()` for $concat, $bwmux and $bweqx.
VS build currently failing with `error C2641: cannot deduce template arguments for 'std::array'`.
Changing to `std::array<Cone, 2>` gives `error C2027: use of undefined type` instead.
Necessary to avoid multiple drivers being inserted when a blackbox has inout ports (like when importing an unknown module with `verific`).
If any bits of an inout port have a known driver, treat the port as an input.
If there are no bits with a known driver, treat the port as an output, and mark each bit as having a driver.
- Make IdString parameter pass by const ref to avoid IdString ref counting in the constructor
- Remove extra std::string allocation to remove prefix
- Avoid using `stringf` for concatenation
`-greperr <string>` redirects stderr to 'bugpoint-case.err', and then searches that file for `<string>`.
Move `-runner` option up with the other options to reduce ambiguity (i.e. so it doesn't look like it's another design parts constraint).
Also some shuffling of `err.ys`.
Allows checking return value from crashing design. Makes it possible to only accept designs that crash with e.g. SEGFAULT.
Based on `exec -expect-return`.
`formatted_help()` introduced the override keyword, which means that the other two methods that were marked as virtual instead raised a warning about inconsistent use of override. This fixes that by bringing the synthprop (more) in line with the rest of the code-base.
Linking to optiongroups doesn't add *that* much, and is kind of a pain; meanwhile having the optiongroups adds an extra level of indentation.
Instead of options needing to be in an option group, they instead go in either the root node or nested in a usage node. Putting them in a usage node allows for more-or-less the previous behaviour but without making it the default.
Rename passes/cmds from "General passes" to "Design modification".
More `yosys.h` includes.
cmdref: Split passes/status from passes/cmds
Rename passes/cmds from "General passes" to "Design modification".
More `yosys.h` includes.
Give formal index a proper title.
Use `Pass::formatted_help()` to assign the group, but still return `false` because the help text still comes from `Pass::help()`.
Tidy up some of the affected files' includes to make use of the shared `yosys.h` includes.
Update experimental pass warnings to use a shared function. Reduces repetition, and also allows all of the warning flags to be combined (which at present is just experimental and the new internal).
Update `test_*` passes to call `internal()` in their constructors.
Content is now added to the `ContentListing` rather than the `PrettyHelp`.
`open_*` methods return the `ContentListing` that was added instead of leaving a hanging continuation.
This allows for (e.g.) options to be added directly to optiongroups, instead of requiring that groups be closed before continuation.
This also means that all `PrettyHelp`s are a listing, with the actual log being called by the default `Pass::help()`; making the mode field redundant.
Added `PrettyHelp::log_help()` which replaces the `PrettyHelp::Mode::LOG` logic.
Added `ContentListing::back()` which just returns the last element of the underlying content vector.
Some of the content tracking was made redundant and removed, in particular `PrettyHelp::_current_listing` and `ContentListing::parent`.
Converted `ContentListing` to a class instead of a struct, adjusting constructors to match.
Added `ContentListing` constructor that accepts a `source_location`.
Update `HelpPass::dump_cmds_json()` for new log_help.
Define `PrettyHelp` class with methods for declaring different parts of help message.
Currently able to produce standard help messages as expected.
Updates chformal to use (only) the new help_v2.
Currently makes use of a global static to track the current help context, allowing register.h to live in blissful ignorance and instead rely on help_v2 implementations calling `auto *help = PrettyHelp::get_current();` and `return true;` to minimise impact on rebuilds (i.e. not requiring every source file to be recompiled).
