2008-10-10output: Make panic/fatal/warn more flexible so we can add some new ones.Nathan Binkert
The major thrust of this change is to limit the amount of code duplication surrounding the code for these functions. This code also adds two new message types called info and hack. Info is meant to be less harsh than warn so people don't get confused and start thinking that the simulator is broken. Hack is a way for people to add runtime messages indicating that the simulator just executed a code "hack" that should probably be fixed. The benefit of knowing about these code hacks is that it will let people know what sorts of inaccuracies or potential bugs might be entering their experiments. Finally, I've added some flags to turn on and off these message types so command line options can change them.
2008-10-10jobfile: Add support for dictionaries as jobfile options.Nathan Binkert
If the same dictionary option is seen in several options, those dictionaries are composed. If you define the same dictionary key in multiple options, the system flags an error. Also, clean up the jobfile code so that it is more debuggable.
2008-10-10python: Add a utility for nested attribute dicts.Nathan Binkert
Change attrdict so that attributes that begin with an underscore don't go into the dict.
2008-10-09SimObjects: Clean up handling of C++ namespaces.Nathan Binkert
Make them easier to express by only having the cxx_type parameter which has the full namespace name, and drop the cxx_namespace thing. Add support for multiple levels of namespace.
2008-10-09eventq: convert all usage of events to use the new API.Nathan Binkert
For now, there is still a single global event queue, but this is necessary for making the steps towards a parallelized m5.
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.
2008-10-09pdb: Try to make pdb work better.Nathan Binkert
I've done a few things here. First, I invoke the script a little bit differently so that pdb doesn't get confused. Second, I've stored the actual filename in the module's __file__ so that pdb can find the source file on your machine.
2008-10-06python: cleanup options parsing stuff so that it properly deals with defaults.Nathan Binkert
While we're at it, make it possible to run main.py in a somewhat standalone mode again so that we can test things without compiling.

2008-08-04Make time format in 'started' line same as 'compiled'.Steve Reinhardt
Also make -B output consistent with normal header, and only include actual build options.
2008-08-04Get rid of outputStream... wasn't really being usedSteve Reinhardt
(except for warn()) and new -r/-e options make it not worth fixing.
2008-08-04Add -r/-e options to redirect stdout/stderr.Steve Reinhardt
Better than using shell since it automatically uses -d directory for output files (creating it as needed).
2008-08-03sockets: Add a function to disable all listening sockets.Nathan Binkert
When invoking several copies of m5 on the same machine at the same time, there can be a race for TCP ports for the terminal connections or remote gdb. Expose a function to disable those ports, and have the regression scripts disable them. There are some SimObjects that have no other function than to be used with ports (NativeTrace and EtherTap), so they will panic if the ports are disabled.
2008-08-03libm5: Create a libm5 static library for embedding m5.Nathan Binkert
This should allow m5 to be more easily embedded into other simulators. The m5 binary adds a simple main function which then calls into the m5 libarary to start the simulation. In order to make this work correctly, it was necessary embed python code directly into the library instead of the zipfile hack. This is because you can't just append the zipfile to the end of a library the way you can a binary. As a result, Python files that are part of the m5 simulator are now compile, marshalled, compressed, and then inserted into the library's data section with a certain symbol name. Additionally, a new Importer was needed to allow python to get at the embedded python code. Small additional changes include: - Get rid of the PYTHONHOME stuff since I don't think anyone ever used it, and it just confuses things. Easy enough to add back if I'm wrong. - Create a few new functions that are key to initializing and running the simulator: initSignals, initM5Python, m5Main. The original code for creating libm5 was inspired by a patch Michael Adler, though the code here was done by me.
2008-07-31scons: Get rid of generate.py in the build system.Nathan Binkert
I decided that separating some of the scons code into generate.py was just a bad idea because it caused the dependency system to get all messed up. If separation is the right way to go in the future, we should probably use the sconscript mechanism, not the mechanism that I just removed.
