            Bug ID: 1152
           Summary: add section to pseudo-code compiler's output that
                    hashes the corresponding inputs and alerts the user if
                    they changed
           Product: Libre-SOC's first SoC
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: DEFERRED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: ---
         Component: Source Code

   NLnet milestone: Future

multiple Libre-SOC members have been confused when the pseudo-code has changed
(either through git pull or otherwise) and it no longer works as they expect.

The idea is simply that the pseudo-code compiler will also hash all relevant
inputs (which should probably include the pseudo-code compiler's source code
too) and output code that, at load time, reads those files again and compares
their hashes to the known hashes and reports an error if they don't match,
directing the user to rerun make.

note: David asked me to create this bug so ideas aren't lost
