Description

%0 = comb.concat %in1, %in2: i2, i0
hw.output %0 : i2
}

$ circt-opt -canonicalize

hw.module @top(in %in1 : i2, in %in2 : i0, out out : i2) {

Research direction

Start by reproducing the example with circt-opt -canonicalize and inspect the comb.concat operation involving the i0 input. Trace the canonicalization or folding entry point for comb.concat. Done means the zero-width input is folded away and the shown module is simplified as expected.
