65# M5 Python Configuration Utility
66#
67# The basic idea is to write simple Python programs that build Python
68# objects corresponding to M5 SimObjects for the desired simulation
69# configuration.  For now, the Python emits a .ini file that can be
70# parsed by M5.  In the future, some tighter integration between M5
71# and the Python interpreter may allow bypassing the .ini file.
72#
73# Each SimObject class in M5 is represented by a Python class with the
74# same name.  The Python inheritance tree mirrors the M5 C++ tree
75# (e.g., SimpleCPU derives from BaseCPU in both cases, and all
76# SimObjects inherit from a single SimObject base class).  To specify
77# an instance of an M5 SimObject in a configuration, the user simply
78# instantiates the corresponding Python object.  The parameters for
79# that SimObject are given by assigning to attributes of the Python
80# object, either using keyword assignment in the constructor or in
81# separate assignment statements.  For example:
82#
83# cache = BaseCache(size='64KB')
84# cache.hit_latency = 3
85# cache.assoc = 8
86#
87# The magic lies in the mapping of the Python attributes for SimObject
88# classes to the actual SimObject parameter specifications.  This
89# allows parameter validity checking in the Python code.  Continuing
90# the example above, the statements "cache.blurfl=3" or
91# "cache.assoc='hello'" would both result in runtime errors in Python,
92# since the BaseCache object has no 'blurfl' parameter and the 'assoc'
93# parameter requires an integer, respectively.  This magic is done
94# primarily by overriding the special __setattr__ method that controls
95# assignment to object attributes.
96#
97# Once a set of Python objects have been instantiated in a hierarchy,
98# calling 'instantiate(obj)' (where obj is the root of the hierarchy)
99# will generate a .ini file.
