Struct logicsim::circuits::Wire

pub struct Wire {
    pub name: String,
    // some fields omitted
}

Data structure that helps with connecting wires to many different components.

It is basically syntactic sugar for an or gate.

Example

let mut reset = Wire::new(&mut g, "reset");
let reset_lever = reset.make_lever(&mut g);
let clock = g.lever("clock");

let counter_output = counter(
    &mut g,
    clock.bit(),
    ON,  // enable
    OFF, // write
    ON,  // read
    reset.bit(),
    &zeros(4), // input
    "counter"
);
// Notice I connect the third (index 2) bit of the output to reset.
// so as soon as the counter reaches 4 (0b100) it will reset.
reset.connect(&mut g, counter_output[2]);

let output = g.output(&counter_output, "result");

let ig = &mut g.init();
ig.pulse_lever_stable(reset_lever);

assert_eq!(output.u8(ig), 0);

ig.pulse_lever_stable(clock);
assert_eq!(output.u8(ig), 1);

ig.pulse_lever_stable(clock);
assert_eq!(output.u8(ig), 2);

ig.pulse_lever_stable(clock);
assert_eq!(output.u8(ig), 3);

ig.pulse_lever_stable(clock);
assert_eq!(output.u8(ig), 0);

Implementations

impl Wire

pub fn new<S: Into<String>>(g: &mut GateGraphBuilder, name: S) -> Self

Returns a new Wire with name name.

pub fn make_lever(&mut self, g: &mut GateGraphBuilder) -> LeverHandle

Makes a new lever for the wire, stores it for easy access later and returns its LeverHandle.

pub fn lever(&self) -> Option<LeverHandle>

Returns Some(LeverHandle) if make_lever has been called before. None otherwise.

pub fn connect(&self, g: &mut GateGraphBuilder, other: GateIndex)

Connects a new GateIndex to the wire.

pub fn bit(&self) -> GateIndex

Returns the GateIndex of the wire.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Wire

pub fn clone(&self) -> Wire

Returns a copy of the value.

pub fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Wire

pub fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
