What are the reasons/motivation for this change?
For some use cases it is desirable to transfer names from wires to their driving cells.
Explain how this is achieved.
This adds a
-move-to-cell
option torename -wire
which doesn't add a suffix to the cell name but instead adds a suffix to the wire name, if necessary to avoid conflicts.It also makes
rename -wire
use the correct HDL indices for wires with non-zero-indexing, whether using-move-to-cell
or not.If applicable, please suggest to reviewers how they can test the change.
By replacing
rename -wire
withrename -wire -move-to-cell
in an existing flow.
