get interface failed: port is not bound:

[Yash Jain]

I am getting the following error. I can't figure out why I am getting error:

get interface failed: port is not bound: port 'server.outgoin1' (sc_out)

Server.cpp

#include "systemc.h"

SC_MODULE(server){
	sc_in<bool> begin1, begin2, begin3, end1, end2, end3, incoming1, incoming2, incoming3;
	sc_out<bool> free, outgoing1, outgoing2, outgoing3;

	void monitor(){
		free = true;
		outgoing1 = false;
		outgoing2 = false;
		outgoing3 = false;

		while(true){
			wait(incoming1 | incoming2 | incoming3);

			//Mobile 1
			if(incoming1 == true){
				cout << "Mobile 1 received." << endl;
				while(!free); // Wait for the server to free up

				//Now that the server has freed up, proceed
				outgoing1 = true;
				free = false;
				wait(begin1);
				cout << "Begin1 @" << sc_simulation_time() << endl;
				wait(end1);
				cout << "End1 @" << sc_simulation_time() << endl;
				free = true;
			}

			//Mobile 2
			if(incoming2 == true){
				cout << "Mobile 2 received." << endl;
				while(!free);// Wait for the server to free up

				//Now that the server has freed up, proceed
				outgoing2 = true;
				free = false;
				wait(begin2);
				cout << "Begin2 @" << sc_simulation_time() << endl;
				wait(end2);
				cout << "End2 @" << sc_simulation_time() << endl;
				free = true;
			}

			//Mobile 3
			if(incoming3 == true){
				cout << "Mobile 3 received." << endl;
				while(!free);// Wait for the server to free up

				//Now that the server has freed up, proceed
				outgoing3 = true;
				free = false;
				wait(begin3);
				cout << "Begin3 @" << sc_simulation_time() << endl;
				wait(end3);
				cout << "End3 @" << sc_simulation_time() << endl;
				free = true;
			}
		}
	}

	SC_CTOR(server):free("free"), outgoing1("outgoin1"), outgoing2("outgoing2"),outgoing3("outgoing3"){
		outgoing1 = false;
		outgoing2 = false;
		outgoing3 = false;
		SC_THREAD(monitor);
		sensitive << incoming1.pos() << incoming2.pos() << incoming3.pos();
	}
};

And this is my testbench

tb_server.cpp

#include "systemc.h"
#include "server.cpp"

int sc_main(int argc, char* argv[]){
  //Inputs
  sc_signal<bool> begin1;
  sc_signal<bool> begin2;
  sc_signal<bool> begin3;
  sc_signal<bool> end1;
  sc_signal<bool> end2;
  sc_signal<bool> end3;
  sc_signal<bool> incoming1;
  sc_signal<bool> incoming2;
  sc_signal<bool> incoming3;
  sc_signal<bool> outgoing1;
  sc_signal<bool> outgoing2;
  sc_signal<bool> outgoing3;
  sc_signal<bool> free;


  server srvr("server");
  srvr.begin1(begin1);
  srvr.begin2(begin2);
  srvr.begin3(begin3);
  srvr.end1(end1);
  srvr.end2(end2);
  srvr.end3(end3);
  srvr.incoming1(incoming1);
  srvr.incoming2(incoming2);
  srvr.incoming3(incoming3);
  srvr.outgoing1(outgoing1);
  srvr.outgoing2(outgoing2);
  srvr.outgoing3(outgoing3);
  srvr.free(free);

  incoming1 = 1;
  incoming2 = 1;
  incoming3 = 1;

  for(int i = 0; i < 30; i++){
    sc_start(10, SC_MS);
  }

}

You are writing to ports in the constructor of server. At this point they are not bound. Since you initialize them in the beginning of your thread this is not needed anyways.

Aside of that you also do not need the sensitivity list for the monitor thread as you never use the default sensitivity (by using wait() ). And if you use C++11 or newer you should use In-class member initializers which eases the naming of signals (and you should name them to make debugging easier):

sc_in<bool> begin1{"begin1"}, begin2{"begin2"}, begin3{"begin3"};
sc_in<bool> end1{"end1"}, end2{"end2"}, end3{"end3"};
sc_in<bool> incoming1{"incoming1"}, incoming2{"incoming2"}, incoming3{"incoming3"};
sc_out<bool> free{"free"}, outgoing1{"outgoing1"}, outgoing2{"outgoing2"}, outgoing3{"outgoing3"};

Hey Eyck. Nothing was fixed. I removed the ports in the constructor and I' still getting the error:

SC_CTOR(server){
		SC_THREAD(monitor);
}

In fact I tried simplifying it further and still get the error: 

void monitor(){
		free = true;
		outgoing1 = false;
		outgoing2 = false;
		outgoing3 = false;
}

Update. I removed the testbench and added a new testbench for a different module. I deleted the old one and re-added the tb_server.cpp testbench and now I'm not getting the error. Not sure if this a problem in systemC or my compiler.
