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".
Enables the CheckerCPU to be selected at runtime with the --checker option
from the configs/example/fs.py and configs/example/se.py configuration
files. Also merges with the SE/FS changes.
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)
Got rid of gratuitous M5 reference in the function name.
In the process, wondered why we have this function at all and
spent time trying to get rid of it and eventually firgured out
why it's needed. Put the answer in a comment so we don't have
to wonder again.
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.
Adaptations to make gem5 compile and run on OSX 10.7.2, with a stock
gcc 4.2.1 and the remaining dependencies from macports, i.e. python
2.7,.2 swig 2.0.4, mercurial 2.0. The changes include an adaptation of
the SConstruct to handle non-library linker flags, and Darwin-specific
code to find the memory usage of gem5. A number of Ruby files relied
on ambigious uint (without the 32 suffix) which caused compilation
errors.
This patch replaces RUBY with PROTOCOL in all the SConscript files as
the environment variable that decides whether or not certain components
of the simulator are compiled.
This patch drops RUBY as a compile time option. Instead the PROTOCOL option
is used to figure out whether or not to build Ruby. If the specified protocol
is 'None', then Ruby is not compiled.
Seems easier than pestering people about it.
Note also that path is now absolute, so you don't get errors
when invoking hg from subdirectories.
Also whacked unused mercurial_bin_not_found message (the
code that used this was deleted a couple months ago in
rev 5138d1e453f1).
Make sure all command-line targets and EXTRAS directories
are interpreted relative to the launch directory. This
turns out to be very useful when building code from an
EXTRAS directory using SCons's -C option.
We were trying to do this with targets but it didn't actually
work since we didn't update BUILD_TARGETS (so SCons got
confused internally). We weren't even trying with EXTRAS.
To simplify the code, the default target is also interpreted
relative to the launch dir even though it was explicitly
handled as relative to the m5 dir before... I doubt anyone
really uses this anyway so it didn't seem worth the complexity.
(Maybe we should get rid of it?)
Currently the --default= option only looks at the predefined
build configs (in m5/build_opts), so you're limited to basing
a new build config off of those (ALPHA_SE, etc.). If you've
already defined a non-standard build config and want to clone
it or tweak it, you have to start from scratch. This patch
causes --default= to look first among the existing builds
(in build/variables) before looking in build_opts so you
can specify an existing non-standard build config as a
starting point for a new config.
FastAlloc's reuse policies can mask allocation bugs, so
we typically want it disabled when debugging. Set
FORCE_FAST_ALLOC to enable even when debugging, and set
NO_FAST_ALLOC to disable even in non-debug builds.
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.
The global sticky options were being printed with a heading, and then the
global nonsticky options were being printed immediately after them without a
heading. Because the two lists ran together and the first had its own heading,
it looked like -all- those options where sticky even though some of them
aren't. This change adds a label to the second list so it's clear they're
different.
I've renamed the check_whitespace operation to check_style. You're going to
need to change your .hg/hgrc file. While you're at it, add a pre-qrefresh
hook please.
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.
clean up the code a little bit while we're at it.
I recommend that everyone adds the pre-qrefresh hook below since it
will make qref run the style hook and not just commit/qpush
[extensions]
style = <m5 path>/util/style.py
[hooks]
pretxncommit.style = python:style.check_whitespace
pre-qrefresh.style = python:style.check_whitespace
The arguments were added to the global_sticky_vars Variables object after the
basic help text was generated. As a result, the "actual:" value wouldn't
reflect the arguments to scons and wouldn't really be the "actual" value used
by the build. This change fixes that by updating global_sticky_vars slightly
earlier.
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
Add the PROTOCOL sticky option sets the coherence protocol that slicc
will parse and therefore ruby will use. This whole process was made
difficult by the fact that the set of files that are output by slicc
are not easily known ahead of time. The easiest thing wound up being
to write a parser for slicc that would tell me. Incidentally this
means we now have a slicc grammar written in python.
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.
env is used as a local variable all over the place and sometimes it is
easy to get confused as to whether the global env or local env is being
used. This will become especially important when I change the way we
support our variants.
1) -L is automatically added, so don't do it ourselves
2) prepend the paths for gzstream and libelf so they are certain to
come first. The problem is that python might add /usr/lib to the path
and the user might have a locally installed version of libelf installed.
