FiberPlugin addPrePopTask about spinalhdl HOT 5 CLOSED

A potential solution I see is to add a postBuildLock that is retained by default in FiberPlugin; during build releases this lock after reworking the body of build. We then make the IO renaming plugin await on all of these post build locks to ensure that it runs last.

Implementation: KireinaHoro@ba9809b
Usage: KireinaHoro/enzian-pio-nic@e2c972d

Or, even better, use awaitCheck. But this feels a bit hacky since renaming IO doesn't seem to fit with checks.

Hi,

To rename top level ports, I previously used addPrePopTask

I would say, if you want to do post elaboration thing, you can just pop a task after the build phase itself. That would be the safest.

For instance :

Fiber(ElabOrderId.BUILD+1){
  Your manipulation code here
}

awaitCheck

Yes this is very similar, that would work aswell, would just maybe need instead a new (not implemented yet): awaitPatch ? (awaitPath assume the hacky nature of the thing XD)

I'm putting all IO generation in modules into setup and doing the manipulation in a plugin during build for now. I do like the awaitPatch idea, since this would not require moving the IO definitions :)

Works! Closing.
