abstract class Stage extends Phase

A Stage represents one stage in the FIRRTL hardware compiler framework. A Stage is, conceptually, a Phase that includes a command line interface.

The FIRRTL compiler is a stage as well as any frontend or backend that runs before/after FIRRTL. Concretely, Chisel is a Stage as is FIRRTL's Verilog emitter. Each stage performs a mathematical transformation on an AnnotationSeq where some input annotations are processed to produce different annotations. Command line options may be pulled in if available.

  26. def optionalPrerequisiteOf: Seq[Dependency[Phase]]

    A sequence of transforms to add this transform as an optionalPrerequisite.

    A sequence of transforms to add this transform as an optionalPrerequisite. The use of optionalPrerequisiteOf enables the transform declaring them to always run before some other transforms. However, declaring optionalPrerequisiteOf will not result in the sequence of transforms executing.

    This is useful for providing an ordering constraint to guarantee that other transforms (e.g., emitters) will not be scheduled before you.

    Note

    This method **will not** result in the listed transforms running. If you want to add multiple transforms at once, you should use a DependencyManager with multiple targets.

  27. def optionalPrerequisites: Seq[Dependency[Phase]]

    The use of a Seq here is to preserve input order. Internally, this will be converted to a private, ordered Set.
