getDefaultTimeBase

// Deprecated, will be removed in SST 16.0
TimeConverter* getDefaultTimeBase();
const TimeConverter* getDefaultTimeBase() const;
// Will replace deprecated functions in SST 16.0
TimeConverter getDefaultTimeBase();
const TimeConverter getDefaultTimeBase() const;

Availability: Component, SubComponent, ComponentExtension

Deprecation

Shared TimeConverters returned by SST-Core APIs will be removed in SST 16.0. All functions accepting TimeConverter* now accept TimeConverter instead. Elements using a TimeConverter* returned by SST-Core should create a local non-shared instance as shown:

// Old code
TimeConverter* tc = function_that_returns_tc();
// New code
TimeConverter tc = function_that_returns_tc();

Return the default time base for the calling (Sub)Component.

Parameters​

  • returns (TimeConverter*) Default time base

Excerpt from sst-elements/src/sst/elements/memHierarchy/standardInterface.cc
StandardInterface::StandardInterface(SST::ComponentId_t id, Params& params, TimeConverter* time,
    HandlerBase* handler) : StandardMem(id, params, time, handler)
{
    /** Begin configuration code here */

    // Pass our default time base to our child subcomponent
    link_ = loadUserSubComponent<MemLinkBase>("lowlink", ComponentInfo::SHARE_NONE, getDefaultTimeBase());

    /** Remaining configuration here */
