Nedgeflop

Generation of new primitives for edge-triggered always blocks.

See edgesynth for an overview of how we handle edge-triggered always blocks.

To support these blocks, VL creates primitive flip-flop modules with some number of edges. For instance, the primitive 3-edge flop can be described as follows in Verilog, and could be used to implement a flip-flop with, e.g., asynchronous set and reset signals.

module VL_1_BIT_3_EDGE_FLOP (q, d0, d1, d2, clk0, clk1, clk2);
  output reg q;
  input d0, d1, d2;
  input clk0, clk1, clk2;
  always @(posedge clk0 or posedge clk1)
    if (clk0)
       q <= d0
    else if (clk1)
       q <= d1;
    else
       q <= d2;
endmodule

The functions below generate these primitive modules and their corresponding esim implementations.
