This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.
The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:
1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.
2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.
3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
a new feature in c++11.
As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".
Partial backout of cset 8b223e308b08.
Although it's great that there's currently no need
for Werror=false in the current tree, some of us
have uncommitted code that still needs this option.
This patch removes the overriding of "-Werror" in a handful of
cases. The code compiles with gcc 4.6.3 and clang 3.0 without any
warnings, and thus without any errors. There are no functional changes
introduced by this patch. In the future, rather than ypassing
"-Werror", address the warnings.
1. --implicit-cache behavior is default.
2. makeEnv in src/SConscript is conditionally called.
3. decider set to MD5-timestamp
4. NO_HTML build option changed to SLICC_HTML (defaults to False)
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).
clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.
To make gem5 compile and run with swig 2.0.4 a few minor fixes are
necessary, the fail label issues by swig must not be treated as an
error by gcc (tested with gcc 4.2.1), and the vector wrappers must
have SWIGPY_SLICE_ARG defined which happens in pycontainer.swg,
included through std_container.i. By adding the aforementioned include
to the vector wrappers everything seems to work.
- Move the random bits of SWIG code generation out of src/SConscript
file and into methods on the objects being wrapped.
- Cleaned up some variable naming and added some comments to make
the process a little clearer.
- Did a little generated file/module renaming:
- vptype_Foo now Foo_vector
- init_Foo is now Foo_init
This makes it easier to see all the Foo-related files in a
sorted directory listing.
- Made cxx_predecls and swig_predecls normal SimObject classmethods.
- Got rid of swig_objdecls hook, even though this breaks the System
objects get/setMemoryMode method exports. Will be fixing this in
a future changeset.
The default generated binary is now gem5.<type> instead of m5.<type>.
The latter does still work but gem5.<type> will be generated first and
then m5.<type> will be hard linked to it.
The end of the COPYING file was generated with:
% python ./util/find_copyrights.py configs src system tests util
Update -C command line option to spit out COPYING file
This is similar to guards on mercurial queues and they're used for selecting
which files are compiled into some given object. We already do something
similar, but it's mostly hard coded for the m5 binary and the m5 library
and I'd like to make it more flexible to better support the unittests
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
This causes a lot of rebuilds that could have otherwise possibly been
avoided, and, more annoyingly, a lot of unnecessary rerunning of the
regressions. The benefits of having the revision in the output haven't
materialized, so this change removes it.
I like the brevity of Ali's recent change, but the ambiguity of
sometimes showing the source and sometimes the target is a little
confusing. This patch makes scons typically list all sources and
all targets for each action, with the common path prefix factored
out for brevity. It's a little more verbose now but also more
informative.
Somehow Ali talked me into adding colors too, which is a whole
'nother story.
Ran all the source files through 'perl -pi' with this script:
s|\s*(};?\s*)?/\*\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*\*/(\s*})?|} // namespace $3|;
s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*|} // namespace $2\n|;
s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(\S+)\s*namespace\s*|} // namespace $1\n|;
Also did a little manual editing on some of the arch/*/isa_traits.hh files
and src/SConscript.
The build_dir parameter name has been deprecated and replaced with
variant_dir. This change switches us over to avoid warning spew in newer
versions of scons.
This is necessary because versions of swig older than 1.3.39 fail to
do the right thing and try to do relative imports for everything (even
with the package= option to %module). Instead of putting params in
the m5.internal.params package, put params in the m5.internal package
and make all param modules start with param_. Same thing for
m5.internal.enums.
Also, stop importing all generated params into m5.objects. They are
not necessary and now with everything using relative imports we wound
up with pollution of the namespace (where builtin-range got overridden).

rename : src/python/m5/internal/enums/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/enums.py
rename : src/python/m5/internal/params/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/params.py
Instead of putting all object files into m5/object/__init__.py, interrogate
the importer to find out what should be imported.
Instead of creating a single file that lists all of the embedded python
modules, use static object construction to put those objects onto a list.
Do something similar for embedded swig (C++) code.
If the user sets the environment variable M5_OVERRIDE_PY_SOURCE to
True, then imports that would normally find python code compiled into
the executable will instead first check in the absolute location where
the code was found during the build of the executable. This only
works for files in the src (or extras) directories, not automatically
generated files.
This is a developer feature!
This causes builds to happen in sorted order rather than in
declaration order. This gets annoying when you make a global change
and then you notice that the files that are being compiled are jumping
around the directory hierarchy.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.

rename : src/python/m5/convert.py => src/python/m5/util/convert.py
rename : src/python/m5/smartdict.py => src/python/m5/util/smartdict.py
Start by turning all of the *Source functions into classes
so we can do more calculations and more easily collect the data we need.
Add parameters to the new classes for indicating what sorts of flags the
objects should be compiled with so we can allow certain files to be compiled
without Werror for example.
This allows me to clean things up so we are up to date with respect to
deprecated features. There are many features scheduled for permanent failure
in scons 2.0 and 0.98.1 provides the most compatability for that. It
also paves the way for some nice new features that I will add soon
The current EXTRAS will fail if the top level directory pointed to by EXTRAS
has a SConscript file in it. We allow this by including the directory name
of the EXTRA in the build directory which prevents a clash between
src/SConscript and extra/SConscript. Maintain compatibility with older uses
of EXTRAS by adding a -I for each top level extra directory.
