There seems to be a bug with the fromValue function with regards to complicated functions applied to numeric types.

Here is a sample bug:
Code:

typedef TMul#(TMul#(2, TDiv#(1200, 4)), TDiv#(3, 2)) NineHundred;

module mkBugTB(Empty);
    rule fin;
        Bit#(10) ninehundred = fromInteger(valueOf(NineHundred));
        $display($stime, "\t", ninehundred);
        $finish;
    endrule
endmodule


bsc output:
Code:

Error: "BugTB.bsv", line 5, column 44: (T0051)
  Literal 1200 is not a valid Bit#(10).
  During elaboration of the body of rule `fin' at "BugTB.bsv", line 4, column
  10.
  During elaboration of `mkBugTB' at "BugTB.bsv", line 3, column 8.
'bsc' exited with status 1


In this case it is quite clear the typedef evaluates to a value that will eventually fit the specified data type but bsc complains prematurely. It is not easy to reproduce this bug with arbitray expressions. For example:
Code:

typedef TMul#(TMul#(2, TDiv#(1200, 4)), TDiv#(3, 2)) NineHundred; // Error
typedef TMul#(TMul#(2, TDiv#(1200, 4)), TDiv#(3, 3)) SixHundred; // Works


Any ideas?

The behavior is correct. TDiv performs integer division -- when you apply TDiv#(3,2) you cannot get a fractional result like 1.5, so it is not possible to multiply the result by 600 to get 900. The result of the division must either be 1 or 2, and (as documented in the Reference Guide) the Div typeclass (and TDiv type function) uses the ceiling. So TDiv#(3,2) would equal 2. So your definition for NineHundred is in fact the value 1200.
