30 # Script to simplify using rundiff on trace outputs from two
31 # invocations of m5.
32 #
33 # ******Note that you need to enable some trace flags in the args in order
34 # to do anything useful!******
35 #
36 # Script arguments are handled uniformly as follows:
37 # - If the argument does not contain a '|' character, it is appended
38 # to both command lines.
39 # - If the argument has a '|' character in it, the text on either side
40 # of the '|' is appended to the respective command lines. Note that
41 # you'll have to quote the arg or escape the '|' with a backslash
42 # so that the shell doesn't think you're doing a pipe.
43 #
44 # In other words, the arguments should look like the command line you
45 # want to run, with "|" used to list the alternatives for the parts
46 # that you want to differ between the two runs.
47 #
48 # For example:
49 #
50 # % tracediff m5.opt --opt1 "--opt2|--opt3" --opt4
51 # would compare these two runs:
52 # m5.opt --opt1 --opt2 --opt4
53 # m5.opt --opt1 --opt3 --opt4
54 #
55 # If you want to compare two different simulator binaries, put a '|'
56 # in the first script argument ("path1/m5.opt|path2/m5.opt"). If you
57 # want to add arguments to one run only, just put a '|' in with text
58 # only on one side ("--onlyOn1|"). You can do this with multiple
59 # arguments together too ("|-a -b -c" adds three args to the second
60 # run only).
