2021-08-12Add DataView (#1955)Jack Koenig
DataView is a mechanism for "viewing" Scala objects as a subtype of `Data`. Often, this is useful for viewing one subtype of `Data`, as another. One can think about a DataView as a cross between a customizable cast and an untagged union. A DataView has a Target type `T`, and a View type `V`. DataView requires that an implementation of `DataProduct` is available for Target types. DataProduct is a type class that provides a way to iterate on `Data` children of objects of implementing types. If a DataView is provided for a type T to a type V, then the function .viewAs[V] (of type T => V) is available. The object (of type T) returned by .viewAs is called a "View" and can be used as both an rvalue and an lvalue. Unlike when using an .asTypeOf cast, connecting to a "View" will connect to the associated field or fields of the underlying Target. DataView also enables .viewAsSupertype which is available for viewing Bundles as a parent Bundle type. It is similar to .viewAs but requires a prototype object of the Target type which will be cloned in order to create the returned View. .viewAsSupertype maps between the corresponding fields of the parent and child Bundle types.

2021-02-04Minor docs improvements (#1774)Jack Koenig
* Fix some botched formatting (replace ```mdoc scala with ```scala mdoc) * Replace some unnecessary uses of triple backticks with single backticks * Move appendix docs from wiki-deprecated/ to appendix/ * This will require an update on the website as well * Update Bundle literal docs
2021-01-21Update docs for the removal of val io and MultiIOModuleJack Koenig
2020-11-11Add custom mdoc modifier for emitted Verilog (#1666)Jack Koenig
2020-11-11Refine autonaming to have more intuitive behavior (#1660)Jack Koenig
* Refine autonaming to have more intuitive behavior Last name in an Expression wins, while the first Statement to name wins. This is done via checking the _id of HasIds during autonaming and only applying a name if the HasId was created in the scope of autonaming. There is no change to .autoSeed or .suggestName behavior. Behavior of chisel3-plugins from before this change is maintained. * Update docs with naming plugin changes
