optimizations, including:Nested slice flattening:
Identity optimization:
Constant start optimization:
Select transformation to reduce mux width:
Added tests to cover all cases, and tried to consolidate shared logic with
array_index
optimizations.I've also tried to preserve XLS array clamping behavior (out-of-bounds access returns the last element) throughout these optimizations, but would appreciate feedback on whether this is implemented correctly.
aside: It might very well be worth exploring the idea in #453 where we just convert array slices into array index operations, but I'm leaving that for the future. This should at least be a steady improvement.
