2014-12-23sim: fix reference counting of PythonEventCurtis Dunham
When gem5 is a slave to another simulator and the Python is only used to initialize the configuration (and not perform actual simulation), a "debug start" (--debug-start) event will get freed during or immediately after the initial Python frame's execution rather than remaining in the event queue. This tricky patch fixes the GC issue causing this.
2012-11-02sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base classAndreas Sandberg
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
2008-11-10python: 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.

2008-10-09eventq: 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.
2007-03-02Factor code out of main.cc and main.i into a bunch of filesNathan 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
2006-12-21Expose the C++ event queue to python via the python functionNathan 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
