getTimeConverter

// Deprecated, will be replaced in SST 16.0
TimeConverter* getTimeConverter(const std::string& base);
TimeConverter* getTimeConverter(const UnitAlgebra& base);
// Will replace deprecated functions in SST 16.0
TimeConverter getTimeConverter(const std::string& base);
TimeConverter getTimeConverter(const UnitAlgebra& base);

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();

Get a time converter object for the specified time base.

Parameters​

  • base (string, UnitAlgebra) Time base, with SI units, to generate a time converter for
  • returns (TimeConverter*) Handle to the created time converter

Example​

TimeConverter tc0 = getTimeConverter("200ms");
UnitAlgebra ua0 = UnitAlgebra("22GHz");
TimeConverter tc1 = getTimeConverter(ua0);
