[myhdl-list] Helper Class for HWModule

[<ala...@sp...>]

Dear all,

Here is a Helper Class to harness HWModule. It parsed the __doc__  
string to gather the actual entity definition.

It allows me to code stuff like:

if __name__ == '__main__':
     unittest.main()
     args = [PicAlu.arch]
     ports = PicAlu._ports                       # port definition,  
parsed from __doc__
     for i in ports._fields:
         args.append(getattr(ports, i))

     toVHDL.name = 'pic_alu'
     toVHDL(*args)

The __doc__ string shall contain the entity like this:

"""
op_i: in enum.initstate
dat_i:  in 8
dat_o: out 8
"""

Is this actually the right place to post stuff like this?

Kind regards,
Alain
