2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-03-19gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first stepsAndreas Hansson
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang (compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma, namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant conversion (due to shifts).
2012-02-24MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointersAndreas Hansson
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this clear. The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact the code would break and that is how this patch started out). Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only done in the locations affected by the proxies.

2012-01-31clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0Koan-Sin Tan
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.

2012-01-17MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy. The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh

2011-05-23config: revamp x86 config to avoid appending to SimObjectVectorsSteve Reinhardt
A significant contributor to the need for adoptOrphanParams() is the practice of appending to SimObjectVectors which have already been assigned as children. This practice sidesteps the assignment operation for those appended SimObjects, which is where parent/child relationships are typically established. This patch reworks the config scripts that use append() on SimObjectVectors, which all happen to be in the x86 system configuration. At some point in the future, I hope to make SimObjectVectors immutable (by deriving from tuple rather than list), at which time this patch will be necessary for correct operation. For now, it just avoids some of the warning messages that get printed in adoptOrphanParams().

2008-10-20O3CPU: Undo Gabe's changes to remove hwrei and simpalcheck from O3 CPU. ↵Ali Saidi
Removing hwrei causes the instruction after the hwrei to be fetched before the ITB/DTB_CM register is updated in a call pal call sys and thus the translation fails because the user is attempting to access a super page address. Minimally, it seems as though some sort of fetch stall or refetch after a hwrei is required. I think this works currently because the hwrei uses the exec context interface, and the o3 stalls when that occurs. Additionally, these changes don't update the LOCK register and probably break ll/sc. Both o3 changes were removed since a great deal of manual patching would be required to only remove the hwrei change.
