# M5 Python Configuration Utility
#
# The basic idea is to write simple Python programs that build Python
# objects corresponding to M5 SimObjects for the deisred simulation
# configuration.  For now, the Python emits a .ini file that can be
# parsed by M5.  In the future, some tighter integration between M5
# and the Python interpreter may allow bypassing the .ini file.
#
# Each SimObject class in M5 is represented by a Python class with the
# same name.  The Python inheritance tree mirrors the M5 C++ tree
# (e.g., SimpleCPU derives from BaseCPU in both cases, and all
# SimObjects inherit from a single SimObject base class).  To specify
# an instance of an M5 SimObject in a configuration, the user simply
# instantiates the corresponding Python object.  The parameters for
# that SimObject are given by assigning to attributes of the Python
# object, either using keyword assignment in the constructor or in
# separate assignment statements.  For example:
#
# cache = BaseCache('my_cache', root, size=64*K)
# cache.hit_latency = 3
# cache.assoc = 8
#
# (The first two constructor arguments specify the name of the created
# cache and its parent node in the hierarchy.)
#
# The magic lies in the mapping of the Python attributes for SimObject
# classes to the actual SimObject parameter specifications.  This
# allows parameter validity checking in the Python code.  Continuing
# the example above, the statements "cache.blurfl=3" or
# "cache.assoc='hello'" would both result in runtime errors in Python,
# since the BaseCache object has no 'blurfl' parameter and the 'assoc'
# parameter requires an integer, respectively.  This magic is done
# primarily by overriding the special __setattr__ method that controls
# assignment to object attributes.
#
# The Python module provides another class, ConfigNode, which is a
# superclass of SimObject.  ConfigNode implements the parent/child
# relationship for building the configuration hierarchy tree.
# Concrete instances of ConfigNode can be used to group objects in the
# hierarchy, but do not correspond to SimObjects themselves (like a
# .ini section with "children=" but no "type=".
#
# Once a set of Python objects have been instantiated in a hierarchy,
# calling 'instantiate(obj)' (where obj is the root of the hierarchy)
# will generate a .ini file.  See simple-4cpu.py for an example
# (corresponding to m5-test/simple-4cpu.ini).

#
# ConfigNode/SimObject classes
#
# The Python class hierarchy rooted by ConfigNode (which is the base
# class of SimObject, which in turn is the base class of all other M5
# SimObject classes) has special attribute behavior.  In general, an
# object in this hierarchy has three categories of attribute-like
# things:
#
# 1. Regular Python methods and variables.  These must start with an
# underscore to be treated normally.
#
# 2. SimObject parameters.  These values are stored as normal Python
# attributes, but all assignments to these attributes are checked
# against the pre-defined set of parameters stored in the class's
# _params dictionary.  Assignments to attributes that do not
# correspond to predefined parameters, or that are not of the correct
# type, incur runtime errors.
#
# 3. Hierarchy children.  The child nodes of a ConfigNode are stored
# in the node's _children dictionary, but can be accessed using the
# Python attribute dot-notation (just as they are printed out by the
# simulator).  Children cannot be created using attribute assigment;
# they must be added by specifying the parent node in the child's
# constructor or using the '+=' operator.

# The SimObject parameters are the most complex, for a few reasons.
# First, both parameter descriptions and parameter values are
# inherited.  Thus parameter description lookup must go up the
# inheritance chain like normal attribute lookup, but this behavior
# must be explicitly coded since the lookup occurs in each class's
# _params attribute.  Second, because parameter values can be set
# on SimObject classes (to implement default values), the parameter
# checking behavior must be enforced on class attribute assignments as
# well as instance attribute assignments.  Finally, because we allow
# class specialization via inheritance (e.g., see the L1Cache class in
# the simple-4cpu.py example), we must do parameter checking even on
# class instantiation.  To provide all these features, we use a
# metaclass to define most of the SimObject parameter behavior for
# this class hierarchy.

# value (loaded from the PARAM section of the .odesc files).  The
# _convert() method on these objects is used to force whatever value
# is assigned to the parameter to the appropriate type.
#
# Note that the default values are loaded into the class's attribute
# space when the parameter dictionary is initialized (in
# MetaConfigNode._setparams()); after that point they aren't used.

# Parameter Types
#
# Though native Python types could be used to specify parameter types
# (the 'ptype' field of the Param and VectorParam classes), it's more
# flexible to define our own set of types.  This gives us more control
# over how Python expressions are converted to values (via the
# __init__() constructor) and how these values are printed out (via
# the __str__() conversion method).  Eventually we'll need these types
# to correspond to distinct C++ types as well.
