to_int t treats t as unsigned and resizes it to fit exactly within an OCaml Int.t.

  • If width t > Int.num_bits then the upper bits are truncated.
  • If width t >= Int.num_bits and bit t (Int.num_bits-1) = vdd (i.e. the msb of the resulting Int.t is set), then the result is negative.
  • If t is Signal.t and not a constant value, an exception is raised.
val to_sint : t -> Base.int

to_sint t treats t as signed and resizes it to fit exactly within an OCaml Int.t.

  • If width t > Int.num_bits then the upper bits are truncated.
  • If t is Signal.t and not a constant value, an exception is raised.

val split_in_half_msb : ?msbs:Base.int -> t -> t * t

Split signal in half. The most significant bits will be in the left half of the returned tuple.

  • If msbs is not provided, the signal will be split in half with the MSB part possibly containing one more bit.
  • If msbs is provided, msbs most significant bits will be split off.
val split_in_half_lsb : ?lsbs:Base.int -> t -> t * t

Same as split_in_half_msb, but

  • If lsbs is not provided, the LSB part might have one more bit.
  • If lsbs is provided, lsbs least significant bits will be split off.

The most significant bits will still be in the left half of the tuple.

val split_lsb : ?exact:Base.bool -> part_width:Base.int -> t -> t Base.list

Split signal into a list of signals with width equal to part_width. The least significant bits are at the head of the returned list. If exact is true the input signal width must be exactly divisable by part_width. When exact is false and the input signal width is not exactly divisible by part_width, the last element will contains residual bits.

eg:

        split_lsb ~part_width:4 16b0001_0010_0011_0100 =
          [ 4b0100; 4b0011; 4b0010; 4b0001 ]

        split_lsb ~exact:false ~part_width:4 17b11_0001_0010_0011_0100 =
          [ 4b0100; 4b0011; 4b0010; 4b0001; 2b11 ]
val split_msb : ?exact:Base.bool -> part_width:Base.int -> t -> t Base.list

Like split_lsb except the most significant bits are at the head of the returned list. Residual bits when exact is false goes to the last element of the list, so in the general case split_lsb is not necessarily equivalent to split_msb |> List.rev.

val mod_counter : max:Base.int -> t -> t

mod_counter max t is if t = max then 0 else (t + 1), and can be used to count from 0 to max then from zero again. If max == (1<<n - 1), then a comparator is not generated and overflow arithmetic is used instead.

val compute_arity : steps:Base.int -> Base.int -> Base.int

compute_arity ~steps num_values computes the tree arity required to reduce num_values in steps. steps<=0 raises.

val compute_tree_branches : steps:Base.int -> Base.int -> Base.int Base.list

compute_tree_branches ~steps num_values returns a list of length steps of branching factors required to reduce num_values. This tends to produce a slightly more balanced sequence than just applying compute_arity at every step.

Same as priority_select except returns default if no case matches.

val onehot_select : ?branching_factor:Base.int -> (t, t) Hardcaml__.Comb_intf.with_valid2 Base.list -> t

Select a case where one and only one valid signal is enabled. If more than one case is valid then the return value is undefined. If no cases are valid, 0 is returned by the current implementation, though this should not be relied upon.

popcount t returns the number of bits set in t.

val is_pow2 : ?branching_factor:Base.int -> t -> t
