gem5/python/m5/smartdict.py

# The SmartDict class fixes a couple of issues with using the content
# of os.environ or similar dicts of strings as Python variables:
#
# 1) Undefined variables should return False rather than raising KeyError.
#
# 2) String values of 'False', '0', etc., should evaluate to False
#    (not just the empty string).
#
# #1 is solved by overriding __getitem__, and #2 is solved by using a
# proxy class for values and overriding __nonzero__ on the proxy.
# Everything else is just to (a) make proxies behave like normal
# values otherwise, (b) make sure any dict operation returns a proxy
# rather than a normal value, and (c) coerce values written to the
# dict to be strings.
