Types and operations for the HWArith dialect This dialect defines the HWArith dialect, modeling bit-width aware arithmetic operations.

Operations

hwarith.add (::circt::hwarith::AddOp)

Bitwidth-aware integer addition.

Syntax:

operation ::= `hwarith.add` $inputs attr-dict `:` functional-type($inputs, $result)

The add operation takes two operands and returns one result. The result type is inferred from the operand types, which may be signed or unsigned scalar integer types of arbitrary bitwidth.

LHS typeRHS typeResult type
ui<a>ui<b>ui<r>, r = max(a, b) + 1
si<a>si<b>si<r>, r = max(a, b) + 1
ui<a>si<b>si<r>, r = a + 2 if ab
si<r>, r = b + 1 if a < b
si<a>ui<b>Same as ui<b> + si<a>

Examples:

%0 = hwarith.add %10, %11 : (ui3, ui4) -> ui5
%1 = hwarith.add %12, %13 : (si3, si3) -> si4
%2 = hwarith.add %14, %15 : (ui3, si4) -> si5
%3 = hwarith.add %16, %17 : (si4, ui6) -> si8

hwarith.cast (::circt::hwarith::CastOp)

Signedness-aware cast.

Syntax:

operation ::= `hwarith.cast` $in attr-dict `:` functional-type($in, $out)

The cast operation takes one operand and returns one result. Both, the result type and the operand type can be of any scalar integer type with arbitrary bitwidth. However, at least one of them needs to be a HWArithIntegerType.

Input typeResult typeBehavior
ui<a>ui<b>/si<b>/i<b>zero-extension if ba
truncation if b < a
si<a>ui<b>/si<b>/i<b>sign-extension if ba
truncation if b < a
i<a>ui<b>/si<b>truncation if b a
i<a>ui<b>/si<b>prohibited if b > a

†) prohibited because of the ambiguity whether a sign or a zero extension is required.

Examples:

%0 = hwarith.cast %10 : (ui3) -> si5
%1 = hwarith.cast %11 : (si3) -> si4
%2 = hwarith.cast %12 : (si7) -> ui4
%3 = hwarith.cast %13 : (i7) -> si5
%3 = hwarith.cast %13 : (si14) -> i4

hwarith.div (::circt::hwarith::DivOp)

Bitwidth-aware integer division.

Syntax:

operation ::= `hwarith.div` $inputs attr-dict `:` functional-type($inputs, $result)

The div operation takes two operands and returns one result. The result type is inferred from the operand types, which may be signed or unsigned scalar integer types of arbitrary bitwidth.

LHS typeRHS typeResult type

si<a>si<b>si<r>, r = a + 1

Examples:

%1 = hwarith.div %12, %13 : (si3, si3) -> si4
%2 = hwarith.div %14, %15 : (ui3, si4) -> si4

hwarith.icmp (::circt::hwarith::ICmpOp)

Sign- and bitwidth-aware integer comparison.

Syntax:

operation ::= `hwarith.icmp` $predicate $lhs `,` $rhs  attr-dict `:` type($lhs) `,` type($rhs)

The icmp operation compares two integers using a predicate. If the predicate is true, returns 1, otherwise returns 0. This operation always returns a one bit wide result of type ui1. Both operand types may be signed or unsigned scalar integer types of arbitrary bitwidth.

LHS typeRHS typeComparison typeResult type
ui<a>ui<b>ui<r>, r = max(a, b)ui1
si<a>si<b>si<r>, r = max(a, b)ui1
ui<a>si<b>si<r>, r = a + 1 if abui1
si<r>, r = b if a < bui1
si<a>ui<b>Same as ui<b> si<a>ui1

Examples:

%0 = hwarith.icmp lt %10, %11 : ui5, ui6
%1 = hwarith.icmp lt %12, %13 : si3, si4
%2 = hwarith.icmp lt %12, %11 : si3, ui6
