deactivate

void deactivate();

New in SST 16.1

Deactivate a clock handler. SST stops calling the handler until it is reactivated with activate(). Other handlers on the same clock are unaffected. Calling deactivate() on a handler that is already inactive has no effect.

This is an alternative to unregisterClock() that does not need the clock's TimeConverter. To deactivate a handler from inside the handler function itself, return true from the handler instead; this is more efficient.

Parameters​

  • returns None

Example​

#include <sst/core/component.h>

example::example(ComponentId_t id, Params& params) : Component(id)
{
    /** Other configuration here */

    clockHandler = registerClock<example, &example::clockTic>("1GHz", this);

    // Don't start the clock until there is work to do
    clockHandler->deactivate();
}
#include <sst/core/clock.h>
