write different types of data in a custom port

[JorgeAbarca]

Hi, 

 

i am creating a new port for a specific purpose, it works very well with the most of datatypes, but i got an error trying to support sc_logic. in this example the behavior is if my_event is detected a write is forced. but if it is an sc_logic I forced sc_logic_z but if it is other datatype I force 0. my intention is to detect if the object is sc_logic or not using typeid(T).name(), what in my operative system is "N5sc_dt8sc_logicE" , but i am getting this error: 

In file included from ./main.cpp:42:0:
./port_new.h: In instantiation of ‘void sc_out_new<T>::write(T) [with T = double]’:
./stage1.cpp:67:15:   required from here
./port_upf.h:194:8: error: no match for ‘operator=’ (operand types are ‘sc_core::sc_out<double>’ and ‘const sc_dt::sc_logic’)
     out=SC_LOGIC_Z;

 

any idea about how i can write both types using the same class ???

 

my module: 

struct numgen : sc_module {
    sc_out_new<double> out1;      //output 1
    sc_out_new<sc_logic> out2;

 

...

}

 

 

     

my class: 

Template<typename T>

class sc_out_new : public sc_channel
{

...

 

    SC_HAS_PROCESS(sc_out_new);
    sc_in_upf(const sc_module_name& nmod) : sc_channel(nmod){

    SC_METHOD(write_out);
    sensitive << my_event

}

 

void write_out{

            if(typeid(T).name() == "N5sc_dt8sc_logicE"){
                out.write(SC_LOGIC_Z);
            }else{
            out.write(0);
            }

        }

}

 

 

 thanks for the help

You cannot not check typeid() against a string as this is compiler dependend. What you shoudl do is

 void write_out{
            if(typeid(T) == typeid(sc_dt::sc_logic){
                out.write(SC_LOGIC_Z);
            }else{
            	out.write(0);
            }
        }
} 

But actually this is more a C++ related question, in my experience Stackoverflow is a good source of help.

But even this won't fix your error.  Because compiler will still complain about assigning sc_logic to double, even if it is in always false branch.

What you need is if-constexpr and std::is_same if you have C++17.  Or SFINAE, if you don't.  Something like this may work:

if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, sc_dt::sc_logic>)
{
    out = SC_LOGIC_Z;
}
else
{
    out = 0;
}
