Dear all, is it possible to apply standard SystemC tracing to tlm_extensions? I defined my own tlm extension to add a reset and a value fields to the standard payload: class reg_extension : public tlm::tlm_extension<reg_extension>{ public: reg_extension(); tlm::tlm_extension_base* clone() const ; void copy_from(tlm::tlm_extension_base const &); bool reset; sc_bv<16> value; }; Then, my testbench declares and uses it to carry data to/from the target: class testbench : public sc_module , public virtual tlm::tlm_bw_transport_if<> { public: tlm::tlm_initiator_socket<> initiator_socket; reg_extension * payload_data; ... } void testbench::run() { tlm::tlm_generic_payload * trans; sc_time time; mem = new mem_manager(); trans = mem->allocate(); payload_data = new reg_extension; payload_data->value = sc_bv<16>("00001111"); payload_data->reset = 1; trans->set_data_length(sizeof(register_data_t)); trans->set_auto_extension(payload_data); trans->set_address(0); trans->set_write(); initiator_socket->b_transport(*trans, time); ... } In my main, I try to apply standard tracing: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { toplevel top("top"); sc_trace_file* fp = sc_create_vcd_trace_file("wave"); fp->set_time_unit(1, SC_NS); sc_trace(fp, top.tb.payload_data->reset, "reset" ); sc_trace(fp, top.tb.payload_data->value, "value" ); sc_start(); sc_close_vcd_trace_file(fp); return 0; } The code compiles correctly, but: with SystemC 2.2.0, the generated trace is weird (see attached - I truncated the value as it had far too many digits) things get worse when compiling with SystemC 2.3.0, as the execution returns this error: My impression is that memory is somehow not managed - this would explain the wrong size for the value field, the huge correponding value, and the bad_alloc. Please note that I forced some wait invocations to advance simulation time, so that write operations onto the extension fields occur at different simulation times. Thank you in advance, Regards, S. wave.vcd

Hello All, I need to spawn a large number of threads for my simulation using sc_spwan(). My threads are very small piece of code. When I have 16384 threads the simulation stops by issuing the following message in iteration 5504 of the loop invoking sc_spawn(): Error: (E549) uncaught exception: std::bad_alloc In file: ../../../../src/sysc/kernel/sc_except.cpp:98 I know this happens due to stack size, but I don't know how much memory is used by each thread. Q1) Is there a way to get the size of stack for each thread? Is there a method/function like get_stack_size()? Q2) How can I use set_stack_size() when invoking sc_spawn()? Q3) My simulation is run in CygWin under Windows 7 (32-bit). Does 32-bit the OS impose a limitation to the stack size? In other words, can the problem be fixed using a 64-bit OS? Thank you so much in advance!
