Save simulation time as an integer variable

[NicoCaldo]

Hi,

is there a function that return the actual time at which the simulation is?

I know sc_time_stamp() but it actually returns a string with the measure unit. I would like something like

int i;
i = sc_time_stamp().time(ns);

(where ns is, for istance, the measure unit)

sc_time_stamp() returns a sc_time objec, not a string. It seems the use in a particular context (e.g. cout<<sc_time_stamp()) triggers an implicit type conversion.

Pls. refer to the standard how to convert to particular unit.

Check clause 5.11 of IEEE Std 1666-2011 for the member functions of the sc_time class. sc_time::value() will return the underlying integer representation of the time value, which has to be interpreted together with the set discrete time resolution. sc_time::to_seconds() returns a double value representing the time value in seconds.
