Maybe Make the VLSIR Dependency Optional #186

Open dan-fritchman opened 1 year ago

dan-fritchman commented 1 year ago

We have a use case which:

Does not (we think) need any Hdl21 <-> VLSIR conversions
Needs a different version of protobuf, which conflicts with VLSIR's

The few options seem to be:

Make Hdl21 not necessarily depend on VLSIR, i.e. have an optional "feature flag" (definitely on by default) for it
Somehow peel the parts this use-case needs out of Hdl21?
