spawned and unspawned process


Recommended Posts

Hi KS,

 

If you are just starting out with SystemC, you can probably safely ignore dynamic (spawned) processes - just use SC_METHOD or SC_THREAD in the module's constructor. Dynamic processes can be useful for advanced cases (e.g. responding to some condition that is not known at compile time).

Pretty much - static processes are created using the SC_METHOD and SC_THREAD macros. Dynamic processes are created by calling sc_spawn. There is one slight complication, calling sc_spawn from a module's constructor will actually create a static process since the LRM defines a dynamic process as one created from "the end_of_elaboration callback or during simulation" (see Glossary B.51). The LRM uses the term "spawned" and "unspawned" to try to avoid this confusion!

It means

 

"calling sc_spawn from a module's constructor will actually create a static process"

 

- I don't know what you don't understand. Can you ask a more specific question?

Hello alan,

 

Are u saying like follwing???

 

SC_CTOR()

{

sc_spawn(process_a) 

}

 

if process_a is registered as sc_spawn in constructor.

So now process_a become static???
