hi tobias, regarding this commit:

commit f17100d6c435aec47b17acb188272a7e9b3cf67d
Author: Tobias Platen <tplaten at posteo.de>

    add with carry instructions

* the addition of the MUL feature needed to be under a separate commit.
 (multiplication doesn't have anything to do with "add with carry instructions")

 you'll have to watch out for this in future.

* whitespace was added at the end: this you particularly have to watch out for
  with vi.  it's why it's specifically in the HDL_workflow.

 please therefore can you correct that one.

* spaces and brackets: please try to keep to PEP8 as much as you can

  the brackets are redundant in this case (unnecessary) and it's definitely a
  style irritation not to have a space between the if and the test.

+        if(cry_out==1):
+            if(result > 0xFFFFFFFF):

 please can you correct those.

* if adding some functionality it's critically important to also add a
corresponding
  unit test, of at least some basic functionality.

  this because if you don't, someone else will have to.  the worst outcome is if
  you add the functionality and someone *assumes* that a unit test has been
  added for it.

i'll assign a bugreport to you to make the necessary corrections.
