Subject: back.verilog: use `proc -nomux` if it is available.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0d9b7dcb1a0a310a48f8361013881ae7882d138;p=nmigen.git

back.verilog: use `proc -nomux` if it is available.

Yosys offers no stability guarantees for individual `proc_*` passes,
though so far it worked out fine. This commit changes the Verilog
backend to use `proc -nomux` instead, which is guaranteed to have
backwards-compatible behavior.

Fixes #479.
