How to extract port connectivity

[Zack63]

Hello,

 

I would like to determine port connectivity after elaboration.

 

For example, I want to put code inside an SC_MODULE that would find the names of other ports that are connect to this module.  Or, maybe there is a way to walk the hierarchy tree, and extract connectivity?

 

The name() function gives my current instance hierarchy, but I cannot find any information on port connections.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

-Mike

Mike,

 

there are several functions in SystemC to access/traverse the object hierarchy and analyze the individual elements:

• sc_get_toplevel_objects()
• sc_object::get_parent_object()
• sc_object::get_child_objects()
• sc_object::kind() (or C++'s dynamic_cast)
• sc_port_base::get_interface()

You can find a description of their functionality in IEEE 1666-2011.
