Eh, if this is inside a larger heirachy/clk tree, I think it's hard to get it work alongside the other branches. Thanks for the idea though! Is it possible avoid the clock switch to become a separate delta cycle?

Hello, I'm trying to simulate a sync clock gater in SystemC: input: clk, clk_enable, output: enabled_clk. However, I noticed that having a SC_METHOD over clk breaks the sync design: #include "systemc.h" SC_MODULE(ClockPropagater) { sc_in<bool> clk{"clk"}; sc_out<bool> p_clk{"p_clk"}; // Clock gating can be potentially added. void Propagate() { p_clk = clk; } SC_CTOR(ClockPropagater) { SC_METHOD(Propagate); sensitive << clk; } }; SC_MODULE(outputer) { sc_in<bool> clk; sc_out<int> c_out; void writer() { for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { cout << "Write " << this->name() << " " << i << endl; c_out.write(i); wait(); } exit(0); } SC_CTOR(outputer) { SC_CTHREAD(writer, clk.pos()); } }; SC_MODULE(reader) { sc_in<bool> clk; sc_in<int> c_in; void read() { while (true) { cout << "Run " << this->name() << " " << this->c_in.read() << endl; wait(); } } SC_CTOR(reader) { SC_CTHREAD(read, clk.pos()); } }; int sc_main(int argc, char* argv[]) { sc_clock TestClk("TestClock", 10, SC_NS,0.5); sc_signal<bool> ck; sc_signal<int> sig; ClockPropagater cp{"clock_propagater"}; cp.clk(TestClk); cp.p_clk(ck); outputer o{"output"}; o.clk(TestClk); o.c_out(sig); reader r{"reader_propagated_clk"}; r.clk(ck); r.c_in(sig); reader r1{"reader_raw_clk"}; r1.clk(TestClk); r1.c_in(sig); sc_start(); // run forever return 0; } $ g++ a.cc -lsystemc && ./a.out SystemC 2.3.3-Accellera --- Feb 13 2020 22:17:20 Copyright (c) 1996-2018 by all Contributors, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Write output 0 Run reader_raw_clk 0 Run reader_propagated_clk 0 Write output 1 Run reader_raw_clk 0 Run reader_propagated_clk 1 Write output 2 Run reader_raw_clk 1 Run reader_propagated_clk 2 Write output 3 Run reader_raw_clk 2 Run reader_propagated_clk 3 Write output 4 Run reader_raw_clk 3 Run reader_propagated_clk 4 In the output above, the reader using propagated clk is getting the input after the clock edge. I'd like reader_propagated_clk behaves the same as reader_raw_clk. What would be the proper way to propagate or gate a clk in SystemC? Thanks!
