sc_event not working but sc_fifo does

Hi all,

I have a project which has a many modules. In one of the modules there is a producer and a consumer. I synced them using an event.

Producer

event1.notify()

Consumer

wait(event1);

This seems to be not working.

Now I tried using sc_fifo

sc_fifo<int> notifyFifo(1)

 

Producer

notifyFifo->write(dummy);

Consumer:

dummy = notifyFifo->read()

 

This is working.

 

I also tried putting wait after signal in producer and commenting out the consumer wait

Producer

event1.notify()

wait(event1);

This also does not work. As the producer is getting stuck in wait. Verified by inserting print statements.

Did anyone face a similar issue?

Please note that event notification will be lost if no one is waiting for it.  This may be your case:

Option 1:  Consumer starts and suspends on wait(), Producer starts, notifies event, resumes consumer.

Option 2:  Producer starts, notifies event, event notification does nothing since no one is waiting for it.

So maybe sc_fifo is what you really need.
