Changelog for clash-prelude package

0.8 June 3rd 2015

• New features:

  • Make the (Bit)Vector argument the last argument for the following functions: slice, setSlice, replaceBit, replace. The signatures for the above functions are now:

    slice      :: BitPack a => SNat m -> SNat n -> a -> BitVector (m + 1 - n)
    setSlice   :: BitPack a => SNat m -> SNat n -> BitVector (m + 1 - n) -> a -> a
    replaceBit :: Integral i => i -> Bit -> a -> a
    replace    :: Integral i => i -> a -> Vec n a -> Vec n a
    

    This allows for easier chaining, e.g.:

    replaceBit 0 1 $
    repleceBit 4 0 $
    replaceBit 6 1 bv
    

  • Until version 0.7.5, given x :: Vec 8 Bit and y :: BitVector 8, it used to be last x == msb y. This is quite confusing when printing converted values. Until version 0.7.5 we would get:

    > 0x0F :: BitVector 8
    0000_1111
    > unpack 0x0F :: Vec 8 Bit
    <1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0>
    

    As of version 0.8, we have head x == msb y:

    > 0x0F :: BitVector 8
    0000_1111
    > unpack 0x0F :: Vec 8 Bit
    <0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1>
    

    So converting for Vectors of Bits to BitVectors is no longer index-preserving, but it is order-preserving.
