RISC-V

Hardware designs routinely use stateless signals which change with their underlying registers. Unintended behaviours arise when a register is mutated even when its dependent signals are expected to remain stable (unchanged). Such timing hazards are common because, with a few exceptions, existing HDLs lack the abstraction for stable values and delegate this responsibility to hardware designers, who then have to…
