Hi
I am providing a systemC model to another team that uses a non-systemC legacy model. The idea is to include systemC libraries and then replace the legacy main() function with systemC's sc_main() so that sc_start() command could be called. Here is an sketch:
sc_main () {
// legacy code here
// instantiate/initial systemC modules
// systemC code
sc_start(sim_time);
sc_stop();
// process systemC output with the legacy code
}
For various reasons, the other team is not willing to replace the main() function with sc_main(). One obvious way is to make the systemC portion an executable and call it from main(). But this requires file I/O that would slow down the sim. I was wondering if there is a way to accomplish this without replacing the main() function?
Thanks
