Passing Arguments in the process in SystemC

[wasim6691]

Hi,  Can we pass arguments inside the process in SystemC. If Yes then how we have to register the process in the constructor? Thanks . Below is the MODULE Wcache0  and I am trying to write getAddrForSingleWeight process which will be called inside another process which is register as SC_THREAD.

void Wcache0::getAddrForSingleWeight(const channel_t co, kernel_t kernel_1,
	                                 const weightaddr_t ci_offset,
	                                 PEID_t &PEID, blockID_t &blockID,
	                                 rowID_t &rowID,
	                                  weightID_t &weightID)

You can use sc_bind() for this purpose, which is described in clause 5.5.6 of IEEE Std 1666-2011. Though, you might need to use sc_spawn instead of SC_THREAD to register your process with the SystemC kernel. If your compiler supports C++'11, you can also use a Lambda function instead of sc_bind(). Cf. to the Doulos white paper "What C++11 means to SystemC?" by David C. Black for details.

Before you go passing arguments to processes in SystemC, I would ask you to be careful of the lifetimes of your variables if passed by reference.

Also consider that you could also pass values as class (module) member data.
