From b81a977e6ab7dbfd122cb778cfe3d40ca7451198 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Sandberg Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 11:32:01 -0500 Subject: sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base class 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. --- src/sim/serialize.hh | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/sim/serialize.hh') diff --git a/src/sim/serialize.hh b/src/sim/serialize.hh index 531b2e1cd..9ee34fe80 100644 --- a/src/sim/serialize.hh +++ b/src/sim/serialize.hh @@ -144,8 +144,14 @@ void fromSimObject(T &t, SimObject *s) fromSimObject(objptr, sptr); \ } while (0) -/* +/** * Basic support for object serialization. + * + * @note Many objects that support serialization need to be put in a + * consistent state when serialization takes place.
