""" Pipeline and BufferedHandshake implementation, conforming to the same API.

    eq:
    --

    a strategically very important function that is identical in function
    to nmigen's Signal.eq function, except it may take objects, or a list
    of objects, or a tuple of objects, and where objects may also be
    Records.

    Stage API:
    ---------

    stage requires compliance with a strict API that may be
    implemented in several means, including as a static class.
    the methods of a stage instance must be as follows:

    * ispec() - Input data format specification
                returns an object or a list or tuple of objects, or
                a Record, each object having an "eq" function which
                takes responsibility for copying by assignment all
                sub-objects
    * ospec() - Output data format specification
                requirements as for ospec
    * process(m, i) - Processes an ispec-formatted object
                returns a combinatorial block of a result that
                may be assigned to the output, by way of the "eq"
                function
    * setup(m, i) - Optional function for setting up submodules
                may be used for more complex stages, to link
                the input (i) to submodules.  must take responsibility
                for adding those submodules to the module (m).
                the submodules must be combinatorial blocks and
                must have their inputs and output linked combinatorially.

    Both StageCls (for use with non-static classes) and Stage (for use
    by static classes) are abstract classes from which, for convenience
    and as a courtesy to other developers, anything conforming to the
    Stage API may *choose* to derive.

    StageChain:
    ----------

    A useful combinatorial wrapper around stages that chains them together
    and then presents a Stage-API-conformant interface.  By presenting
    the same API as the stages it wraps, it can clearly be used recursively.

    RecordBasedStage:
    ----------------

    A convenience class that takes an input shape, output shape, a
    "processing" function and an optional "setup" function.  Honestly
    though, there's not much more effort to just... create a class
    that returns a couple of Records (see ExampleAddRecordStage in
    examples).

    PassThroughStage:
    ----------------

    A convenience class that takes a single function as a parameter,
    that is chain-called to create the exact same input and output spec.
    It has a process() function that simply returns its input.

    Instances of this class are completely redundant if handed to
    StageChain, however when passed to UnbufferedPipeline they
    can be used to introduce a single clock delay.

    ControlBase:
    -----------

    The base class for pipelines.  Contains previous and next ready/valid/data.
    Also has an extremely useful "connect" function that can be used to
    connect a chain of pipelines and present the exact same prev/next
    ready/valid/data API.

    UnbufferedPipeline:
    ------------------

    A simple stalling clock-synchronised pipeline that has no buffering
    (unlike BufferedHandshake).  Data flows on *every* clock cycle when
    the conditions are right (this is nominally when the input is valid
    and the output is ready).

    A stall anywhere along the line will result in a stall back-propagating
    down the entire chain.  The BufferedHandshake by contrast will buffer
    incoming data, allowing previous stages one clock cycle's grace before
    also having to stall.

    An advantage of the UnbufferedPipeline over the Buffered one is
    that the amount of logic needed (number of gates) is greatly
    reduced (no second set of buffers basically)

    The disadvantage of the UnbufferedPipeline is that the valid/ready
    logic, if chained together, is *combinatorial*, resulting in
    progressively larger gate delay.

    PassThroughHandshake:
    ------------------

    A Control class that introduces a single clock delay, passing its
    data through unaltered.  Unlike RegisterPipeline (which relies
    on UnbufferedPipeline and PassThroughStage) it handles ready/valid
    itself.

    RegisterPipeline:
    ----------------

    A convenience class that, because UnbufferedPipeline introduces a single
    clock delay, when its stage is a PassThroughStage, it results in a Pipeline
    stage that, duh, delays its (unmodified) input by one clock cycle.

    BufferedHandshake:
    ----------------

    nmigen implementation of buffered pipeline stage, based on zipcpu:
    https://zipcpu.com/blog/2017/08/14/strategies-for-pipelining.html

    this module requires quite a bit of thought to understand how it works
    (and why it is needed in the first place).  reading the above is
    *strongly* recommended.

    unlike john dawson's IEEE754 FPU STB/ACK signalling, which requires
    the STB / ACK signals to raise and lower (on separate clocks) before
    data may proceeed (thus only allowing one piece of data to proceed
    on *ALTERNATE* cycles), the signalling here is a true pipeline
    where data will flow on *every* clock when the conditions are right.

    input acceptance conditions are when:
        * incoming previous-stage strobe (p.i_valid) is HIGH
        * outgoing previous-stage ready   (p.o_ready) is LOW

    output transmission conditions are when:
        * outgoing next-stage strobe (n.o_valid) is HIGH
        * outgoing next-stage ready   (n.i_ready) is LOW

    the tricky bit is when the input has valid data and the output is not
    ready to accept it.  if it wasn't for the clock synchronisation, it
    would be possible to tell the input "hey don't send that data, we're
    not ready".  unfortunately, it's not possible to "change the past":
    the previous stage *has no choice* but to pass on its data.

    therefore, the incoming data *must* be accepted - and stored: that
    is the responsibility / contract that this stage *must* accept.
    on the same clock, it's possible to tell the input that it must
    not send any more data.  this is the "stall" condition.

    we now effectively have *two* possible pieces of data to "choose" from:
    the buffered data, and the incoming data.  the decision as to which
    to process and output is based on whether we are in "stall" or not.
    i.e. when the next stage is no longer ready, the output comes from
    the buffer if a stall had previously occurred, otherwise it comes
    direct from processing the input.

    this allows us to respect a synchronous "travelling STB" with what
    dan calls a "buffered handshake".

    it's quite a complex state machine!

            Stage API, an object that calls this Pipeline connect function
            has the exact same pipeline API as the list of pipline objects
            it is called with.

            Thus it becomes possible to build up larger chains recursively.
