Changeset 10554:f6e35a3dcc8f
---------------------------
config: SystemC Gem5Control top level additions

This patch cleans up a few style issues and adds a few capabilities to the
SystemC top level 'Gem5Control/Gem5System' mechanism.  These include:

    1) A space to store/retrieve a version string for a model
    2) A mechanism for registering functions to be called at the end of
        elaboration to perform simulation setup tasks in SystemC
    3) Adding setGDBRemotePort to the Gem5Control
    4) Changing the sc_set_time_resolution behaviour to instead check that
        the SystemC time resolution is already acceptable

Testing Done

I don't know what are we trying to achieve by interfacing gem5 and SystemC.  But the patch seems fine to me.

I would think roughly 90% of all the SoC model components in the world are written using SystemC as it is the de facto modeling framework (and an IEEE standard). Thus, interfacing gem5 with SystemC opens up for a wide variety of use cases that were not possible before. Makes sense?

What is this version for?

util/systemc/sc_gem5_control.hh (Diff revision 1)

Can you elaborate on what an elaboration is?  I am guessing it to be a SystemC term.

util/systemc/sc_gem5_control.cc (Diff revision 1)

I am not against this indentation, but I think the norm is to align the arguments vertically.

You have a pending review.
