[FIRRTLToHW] Fix crash when lowering instance_choice with clock outputs#9941
Conversation
When lowering instance_choice operations with clock-typed output ports, the code was attempting to create sv.wire operations with !seq.clock as the element type. However, !seq.clock is not a valid element type for hw.inout, causing an assertion failure. The fix follows the same pattern used for XMR operations: use i1 wires instead of !seq.clock wires, and convert to/from clock when reading/ writing: - When creating wires for clock outputs, use i1 type - When reading from the wire (for the result value), convert i1 to clock using seq.to_clock - When writing to the wire (from instance outputs), convert clock to i1 using seq.from_clock This allows instance_choice to work correctly with clock-typed ports while respecting the type constraints of hw.inout. Fixes a crash with the error: error: invalid element for hw.inout type '!seq.clock' Assertion failed: (succeeded(ConcreteT::verifyInvariants(...)))

There should be a better fix than this once @uenoku finishes instance choice support. I'll leave this open for now. |

When lowering instance_choice operations with clock-typed output ports,
the code was attempting to create sv.wire operations with !seq.clock as
the element type. However, !seq.clock is not a valid element type for
hw.inout, causing an assertion failure.
The fix follows the same pattern used for XMR operations: use i1 wires
instead of !seq.clock wires, and convert to/from clock when reading/
writing:
using seq.to_clock
using seq.from_clock
This allows instance_choice to work correctly with clock-typed ports
while respecting the type constraints of hw.inout.
Fixes a crash with the error:
error: invalid element for hw.inout type '!seq.clock'
Assertion failed: (succeeded(ConcreteT::verifyInvariants(...)))
