LoadLink

// Constructor
SST::Interfaces::StandardMem::LoadLink(Addr pAddr, uint64_t size, flags_t flags = 0, Addr vAddr = 0, 
    Addr iPtr = 0, uint32_t tid = 0);

Response Type StandardMem::ReadResp  
Needs Response true

The StandardMem::LoadLink request class defines a request to read an address and track intervening external accesses to the access until a following StandardMem::StoreConditional. The request must be followed eventually by a StandardMem::StoreConditional to release the link. An interface that receives this request should return a response containing the requested data. Fields for both a virtual and physical address are available, the interpretation of those fields is up to the underlying memory system model. physAddr is however required in the constructor.

Member variables​

Including those inherited from the StandardMem::Request base class, StandardMem::LoadLink includes the following member variables.

  • id (id_t) A request or response identifier. A request and its response contain the same identifier.
  • flags (flags_t) A 32-bit vector indicating any special flags added to the request
  • pAddr (Addr) The physical starting address for the bytes to be read and locked
  • vAddr (Addr) The virtual (if any) starting address for the bytes to be read and locked
  • size (uint64_t) The number of bytes to read and lock
  • iPtr (Addr) An instruction pointer. This is optional metadata.
  • tid (uint32_t) An optional thread ID, can be used by memory systems if needed

Virtual functions inherited from the Request base class​

makeResponse​

Request* makeResponse();

Creates a ReadResp initialized as a response to this read request. Initializes the data field in the response to be size bytes with value 0.

Important

Interfaces must set the data field in the response after calling this function if the simulation uses data values. The makeResponse() function only initializes the field to 0.

needsResponse​

bool needsResponse();

Returns true.

convert​

SST::Event* convert(RequestConverter* converter);

Invokes convert() on the supplied converter visitor class to return an SST::Event in an implementation-specific format.

handle​

virtual void handle(RequestHandler* handler) =0;

Invokes handle() on the supplied handler visitor class to handle the event according to type.

getString​

virtual std::string getString() =0;

Returns a formatted string listing all fields of the LoadLink.
