-# ConfigNode/SimObject classes
-#
-# The Python class hierarchy rooted by ConfigNode (which is the base
-# class of SimObject, which in turn is the base class of all other M5
-# SimObject classes) has special attribute behavior. In general, an
-# object in this hierarchy has three categories of attribute-like
-# things:
-#
-# 1. Regular Python methods and variables. These must start with an
-# underscore to be treated normally.
-#
-# 2. SimObject parameters. These values are stored as normal Python
-# attributes, but all assignments to these attributes are checked
-# against the pre-defined set of parameters stored in the class's
-# _params dictionary. Assignments to attributes that do not
-# correspond to predefined parameters, or that are not of the correct
-# type, incur runtime errors.
+# dict to look up SimObjects based on path
+instanceDict = {}
+
+#############################
#
-# 3. Hierarchy children. The child nodes of a ConfigNode are stored
-# in the node's _children dictionary, but can be accessed using the
-# Python attribute dot-notation (just as they are printed out by the
-# simulator). Children cannot be created using attribute assigment;
-# they must be added by specifying the parent node in the child's
-# constructor or using the '+=' operator.
-
-# The SimObject parameters are the most complex, for a few reasons.
-# First, both parameter descriptions and parameter values are
-# inherited. Thus parameter description lookup must go up the
-# inheritance chain like normal attribute lookup, but this behavior
-# must be explicitly coded since the lookup occurs in each class's
-# _params attribute. Second, because parameter values can be set
-# on SimObject classes (to implement default values), the parameter
-# checking behavior must be enforced on class attribute assignments as
-# well as instance attribute assignments. Finally, because we allow
-# class specialization via inheritance (e.g., see the L1Cache class in
-# the simple-4cpu.py example), we must do parameter checking even on
-# class instantiation. To provide all these features, we use a
-# metaclass to define most of the SimObject parameter behavior for
-# this class hierarchy.
