Maybe the new multichannel feature is a good excuse to finally(!) add the missing signal comparison/logical operators:
[==~]
, [!=~]
,[>~]
,[<~]
,[>=~]
,[<=~]
,[&&~]
,[||~]
IMO, it is a bit silly that we currently need externals (
zexy
,cyclone
) or[expr~]
for these basic math operations, even more so as the former are (still) single channel.As a first step, I have added more convenience functions to
d_arithmetic.c
which remove a lot of the code duplication. In total, this PR only adds 350 lines (700 added, 350 removed).Side note: it would be possible to further reduce the code size - drastically! - by implementing the perform routines as macros, taking the binary operator as an argument, but this might be a bit controversial, so I haven't done it.
