Add the
moore.trunc
operation to explicitly truncate the bit width ofIntType
values, andmoore.zext
andmoore.sext
to explicitly extend such a value with zeroes or its sign bit.This requires tweaking the way how ImportVerilog generates conversion ops. Currently
moore.conversion
is used as a catch-all operation that expresses any kind of type conversion. In the future, we'll want to split this up into multiple dedicated operations. These width adjustment ops are the first step in that direction.Making sign-extension explicit also fixes a long-standing issue where a
$signed
orsigned'(x)
expression would be erroneously converted into a zero-extension.
