From c0ab52799ca4ebd0a51363cfedd0658e6d79b842 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Sandberg Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 11:32:01 -0500 Subject: sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfaces 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. --- src/base/CPA.py | 1 + src/base/vnc/Vnc.py | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/base') diff --git a/src/base/CPA.py b/src/base/CPA.py index c0beaedef..cbed29a37 100644 --- a/src/base/CPA.py +++ b/src/base/CPA.py @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ from m5.params import * class CPA(SimObject): type = 'CPA' + cxx_header = "base/cp_annotate.hh" enabled = Param.Bool(False, "Is Annotation enabled?") user_apps = VectorParam.String([], "List of apps to get symbols for") diff --git a/src/base/vnc/Vnc.py b/src/base/vnc/Vnc.py index 4e8e18512..a7faefb41 100644 --- a/src/base/vnc/Vnc.py +++ b/src/base/vnc/Vnc.py @@ -40,9 +40,11 @@ from m5.params import * class VncInput(SimObject): type = 'VncInput' + cxx_header = "base/vnc/vncinput.hh" frame_capture = Param.Bool(False, "capture changed frames to files") class VncServer(VncInput): type = 'VncServer' + cxx_header = "base/vnc/vncserver.hh" port = Param.TcpPort(5900, "listen port") number = Param.Int(0, "vnc client number") -- cgit v1.2.3
