Context: I'm working towards developing a common simulator API. Part of the problem right now is that the
DefaultSimulator
andEphemeralSimulator
are different enough that they can't be easily unified.Unify the
DefaultSimulator
andEphemeralSimulator
by rewriting the latter using the former. This is done by writing a newHasTestingDirectory
type class implementation generator calledtemporary
which will do all the work of what theEphemeralSimulator
was previously doing.Release Notes
chisel3.simulator.HasTestingDirectory.temporary
type class implementation generator for control of temporary directory creation (with optional auto-deletion).
