type 'a t = ('a, O_data.t, I_data.t) Step_monad.t

A testbench takes the circuit's output as its input and produces its output as input for the circuit. An 'a t describes a testbench computation that takes zero or more steps and produces a value of type 'a.

include Core.Monad.S with type 'a t := 'a t
val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

t >>= f returns a computation that sequences the computations represented by two monad elements. The resulting computation first does t to yield a value v, and then runs the computation returned by f v.

val (>>|) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

t >>| f is t >>= (fun a -> return (f a)).

module Monad_infix : sig ... end
val bind : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

bind t ~f = t >>= f

val return : 'a -> 'a t

return v returns the (trivial) computation that returns v.

val map : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

map t ~f is t >>| f.

val join : 'a t t -> 'a t

join t is t >>= (fun t' -> t').

val ignore_m : 'a t -> unit t

ignore_m t is map t ~f:(fun _ -> ()). ignore_m used to be called ignore, but we decided that was a bad name, because it shadowed the widely used Stdlib.ignore. Some monads still do let ignore = ignore_m for historical reasons.

val all : 'a t list -> 'a list t
val all_unit : unit t list -> unit t

Like all, but ensures that every monadic value in the list produces a unit value, all of which are discarded rather than being collected into a list.

module Let_syntax : sig ... end

These are convenient to have in scope when programming with a monad:

val start : ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a -> ('b, I_data.t) Step_monad.Component_finished.t t
val cycle : ?num_cycles:int -> I_data.t -> O_data.t t

cycle i_data ~num_cycles waits for num_cycles cycles of the simulator to run, applying i_data to the simulator input ports, and returns the output computed in the final cycle. cycle raises if num_cycles < 1.

val for_ : int -> int -> (int -> unit t) -> unit t

for_ i j f does f i, f (i+1), ... f j in sequence. If j < i, then for_ i j immediately returns unit.

val delay : I_data.t -> num_cycles:int -> unit t

delay inputs ~num_cycles applies inputs for num_cycles clock cycles and then returns unit. delay raises if num_cycles < 0.

type ('a, 'b) finished_event = ('a, 'b) Step_monad.Component_finished.t Step_monad.Event.t
val spawn : (O_data.t -> 'a t) -> ('a, I_data.t) finished_event t

Launch a new task within the current simulation step.

val merge_inputs : parent:I_data.t -> child:I_data.t -> I_data.t

merge_inputs ~parent ~child merges the child inputs into the parent. If a child input is empty, the parent's value is used.

val spawn_io : inputs:(parent:'i -> child:I_data.t -> 'i) -> outputs:('o -> Hardcaml.Bits.t O.t) -> (O_data.t -> 'a t) -> (('a, I_data.t) finished_event, 'o Before_and_after_edge.t, 'i) Step_monad.t

Launch a task from a testbench with a cycle function taking 'i to 'o. The inputs and outputs arguments should construct I_data.t and O_data.t from the types of the child testbench.

val wait_for : ('a, 'b) finished_event -> 'a t

Wait for the given event to occur, and extract its return value.

val wait_for_with_timeout : ('a, 'b) finished_event -> timeout_in_cycles:int -> 'a option t

Like wait_for except it stops waiting after timeout_in_cycles and returns None. Note that the spawned task continues to execute.

val input_hold : Hardcaml.Bits.t I.t

Call run ~input_default:input_hold to hold inputs their previous value if they are unset by tasks in the testbench.

val input_zero : Hardcaml.Bits.t I.t

Call run ~input_default:input_zero to set inputs to zero if unset by tasks in the testbench.
