Change to dynamic network exploration #9

Closed kenkendk closed 6 years ago

kenkendk commented 7 years ago

The current compiler uses static mapping to figure out which processes and busses are connected. This allows for a number of nice properties, but also gives some problems when wanting to re-use components, as the new components must sub-class the original component, as well as re-expose the busses via. subclassing:

With this change it would be possible to create designs that dynamically instantiate components, making it easier to create designs that change size and configurations.

This is a deep change, and needs some consideration as the auto-wiring depends on static types. With this change it will also be simpler to achieve feature parity/similarity with PySME/Almique:
