risc_cpu example in systemc package

[Khushi]

Hi

I am looking into the risc_cpu example in systemc package and I am not able to understand the following(at line 321)

exec   IEU("EXEC_BLOCK");  
IEU << reset << decode_valid << alu_op << negate << add1 << shift_sel  << src_A << src_B << forward_A << forward_B << alu_src << c << v << z  << dout << out_valid << destout << clk;

It seems it is related to binding. If yes ,can you tell me where the << is overloaded to have the bindings.

 

Thanks

Khushi

Hi

I found it is overloaded in sc_module class.

Sorry for the inconvenience

 

Thanks

This example still uses the positional binding feature of SystemC, which is deprecated as per IEEE Std. 1666 (see Annex C (h), emphasis mine):

Quote

This annex contains a list of deprecated features. A deprecated feature is a feature that was present in version 2.0.1 of the OSCI open source proof-of-concept SystemC implementation but is not part of this standard. Deprecated features may or may not remain in the Accellera Systems Initiative implementation in
the future. The user is strongly discouraged from using deprecated features because an implementation is not obliged to support such features. An implementation may issue a warning on the first occurrence of each deprecated feature but is not obliged to do so.

[...]

h) operator, and operator<< of class sc_module for positional port binding (use operator() instead)

hth,
