The old code for handling SimObject children was kind of messy,
with children stored both in _values and _children, and
inconsistent and potentially buggy handling of SimObject
vectors. Now children are always stored in _children, and
SimObject vectors are consistently handled using the
SimObjectVector class.
Also, by deferring the parenting of SimObject-valued parameters
until the end (instead of doing it at assignment), we eliminate
the hole where one could assign a vector of SimObjects to a
parameter then append to that vector, with the appended objects
never getting parented properly.
This patch induces small stats changes in tests with data races
due to changes in the object creation & initialization order.
The new code does object vectors in order and so should be more
stable.
Orphan SimObjects (not in the config hierarchy) could get
created implicitly if they have a port connection to a SimObject
that is in the hierarchy. This means that there are objects on
the C++ SimObject list (created via the C++ SimObject
constructor call) that are unknown to Python and will get
skipped if we walk the hierarchy from the Python side (as we are
about to do). This patch detects this situation and prints an
error message.
Also fix the rubytester config script which happened to rely on
this behavior.
Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only
once. The C++ Root object already panics if more than one is
created. This change avoids the need to track what the root
object is, since it's available from Root.getInstance() (if it
exists). It's now redundant to have the user pass the root
object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and
restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone. Users who use
configs/common/Simulate.py should not notice.
This tidbit was pulled from a larger patch for Tim's sake, so
the comment reflects functions that haven't been exported yet.
I hope to commit them soon so it didn't seem worth cleaning up.
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

Make them easier to express by only having the cxx_type parameter which
has the full namespace name, and drop the cxx_namespace thing.
Add support for multiple levels of namespace.
they're all in the same place. This also involves having just one

creation and initialization now happens in python. Parameter objects
are generated and initialized by python. The .ini file is now solely for
debugging purposes and is not used in construction of the objects in any
way.
