Remove the OCaml emulator
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This has the following benefits:

* Reduces the maintenance burden for making changes to the emulator. They don't have to be done in two places and you don't need to learn OCaml.
* Removes the dependency on OCaml and OPAM, which is a weirdly bug-prone tool.
* Removes confusion for new users about which emulator to use.
* Shorter CI time.

It removed two capabilities which were deemed to be acceptable for now:

* Unlike the OCaml emulator the C emulator cannot dynamically generate a Device Tree Blob based on the options you give it. However this would be relatively easy to add back if anyone needs it - it just involves making a templated DTS and then running it through `dtc`. You can also just do that manually for now.
* Unlike the C code the OCaml Sail code has the ability to generate random instructions which was maybe once used by TestRig but they no longer use it.

Fixes #509

Use in test generation
----------------------

The Sail OCaml backend can produce QuickCheck-style random generators for
types in Sail specifications, which have been used to produce random
instructions sequences for testing. The generation of individual
types can be overridden by the developer to, for example, remove
implementation-specific instructions or introduce register biasing.
