2008-11-10	python: Fix the reference counting for python events placed on the eventq.	Nathan Binkert
	We need to add a reference when an object is put on the C++ queue, and remove a reference when the object is removed from the queue. This was not happening before and caused a memory problem.

	which does not expose a setCount method to Python. Signed-off By: Ali Saidi
2008-10-09	eventq: Major API change for the Event and EventQueue structures.	Nathan Binkert
	Since the early days of M5, an event needed to know which event queue it was on, and that data was required at the time of construction of the event object. In the future parallelized M5, this sort of requirement does not work well since the proper event queue will not always be known at the time of construction of an event. Now, events are created, and the EventQueue itself has the schedule function, e.g. eventq->schedule(event, when). To simplify the syntax, I created a class called EventManager which holds a pointer to an EventQueue and provides the schedule interface that is a proxy for the EventQueue. The intent is that objects that frequently schedule events can be derived from EventManager and then they have the schedule interface. SimObject and Port are examples of objects that will become EventManagers. The end result is that any SimObject can just call schedule(event, when) and it will just call that SimObject's eventq->schedule function. Of course, some objects may have more than one EventQueue, so this interface might not be perfect for those, but they should be relatively few.
2007-03-02	Factor code out of main.cc and main.i into a bunch of files	Nathan Binkert
	so things are organized in a more sensible manner. Take apart finalInit and expose the individual functions which are now called from python. Make checkpointing a bit easier to use. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : f470ddabbb47103e7b4734ef753c40089f2dcd9d
2006-12-21	Expose the C++ event queue to python via the python function	Nathan Binkert
	m5.internal.event.create(). It takes a python object and a Tick and calls process() when the Tick occurs. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 5e4c9728982b206163ff51e6850a1497d85ad7a3
