ALU Test

Download: alu_test.zip.

This projects tests the alu for signed subtraction by reducing the number of bits to three so an exhaustive search is manageable. It adds an extended calculation by increasing the number of bits by one to eliminate overflow. Then the exact output (ce) is compared to the actual output (c). A test flag is set whenever the two values are not equal. The overflow flag should match the test flag exactly.
