The
datapath-reduce-delaypass applies transformations that aim to reduce the delay of any matching path in the design. The initial PR includes the following transformations:datapath.compressoperators even if the adder result is used by other operations - potentially increasing circuit area.These optimisations are enabled when targeting timing driven optimisation using circt-synth. These transformations are inspired by the work of Zimmermann on datapath synthesis (see presentation: https://picture.iczhiku.com/resource/eetop/wyiEELySpYPudnxV.pdf)
