RequestConverter

The StandardMem::RequestConverter class is a pure virtual visitor class that allows StandardMem implementations to convert an incoming StandardMem::Request type to an SST::Event type that can be passed over SST::Links. StandardMem implementations should derive from RequestConverter to define a conversion function for each built-in StandardMem request type. Upon receiving a request the StandardMem implementation can use the derived RequestConverter class to convert StandardMem requests by type.

If a memory system implementation does not support a particular request type, it may call (SubComponent::fatal) in the corresponding conversion function or otherwise indicate an error.

Constructor​

The RequestConverter provides an empty constructor and destructor.

RequestConverter() {}
virtual ~RequestConverter() {}

Required function implementations​

The following functions are pure virtual within the RequestConverter class and must be implemented. The implementation should either convert the incoming request into an appropriate SST::Event type, or return an error indicating that the request type is not supported by the StandardMem implementation.

virtual SST::Event* convert(Read* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(ReadResp* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(Write* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(WriteResp* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(FlushAddr* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(FlushResp* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(ReadLock* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(WriteUnlock* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(LoadLink* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(StoreConditional* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(MoveData* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(CustomReq* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(CustomResp* request) = 0;
virtual SST::Event* convert(InvNotify* request) = 0;
