This must wrap the datatype used to set the io field of any Module.
This must wrap the datatype used to set the io field of any Module. i.e. All concrete modules must have defined io in this form: [lazy] val io[: io type] = IO(...[: io type])
Items in [] are optional.
The granted iodef must be a chisel type and not be bound to hardware.
Also registers a Data as a port, also performing bindings. Cannot be called once ports are requested (so that all calls to ports will return the same information). Internal API.
TODO(twigg): Specifically walk the Data definition to call out which nodes are problematic.
Chisel2 code didn't require the IO(...) wrapper and would assign a Chisel type directly to io, then do operations on it.
Chisel2 code didn't require the IO(...) wrapper and would assign a Chisel type directly to io, then do operations on it. This binds a Chisel type in-place (mutably) as an IO.
Compatibility function.
Compatibility function. Allows Chisel2 code which had ports without the IO wrapper to compile under Bindings checks. Does nothing in non-compatibility mode.
Should NOT be used elsewhere. This API will NOT last.
TODO: remove this, perhaps by removing Bindings checks in compatibility mode.
The desired name of this module (which will be used in generated FIRRTL IR or Verilog).
The desired name of this module (which will be used in generated FIRRTL IR or Verilog).
The name of a module approximates the behavior of the Java Reflection method https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getSimpleName-- with some modifications:
- Anonymous modules will get an "_Anon" tag
- Modules defined in functions will use their class name and not a numeric name
If you want a custom or parametric name, override this method.
Signal name (for simulation).

Legalized name of this module.
Called at the Module.apply(...) level after this Module has finished elaborating.
