In preparation for supporting
handshake.instance
lowering, this commit introduces top module inference and instance cycle detection. The IR is topologically sorted based onhandshake.instance
usage. During this, we check for instance cycles (and report them to the user) as well as top-module detection. For now, if multiple top modules are available, an error is thrown.Furthermore, the
firrtl.circuit
op is now created outside of thehandshake.func
operation lowering, based on the inferred top-level name.
