Option --edit systemcass

[silicomp <jrouland@…>]

Hello, I have used systemcass to compile the plateform caba-vgmn-multi_timer-mips32. I can use trace, help, etc but i have some trouble with scheduling option. In fact when i use --edit no editor open and the simulation run completely. I have vim and $EDITOR correctly set. did someone else have encouter the same problem.

This option seems to be only used if systemcass is compiled with the "runtime compilation" feature (enabled by an option of the configure script). However, this feature has become quite deprecated: it is currently incompatible with a x86_64 host and anyway, the performance gain is not determined (while recent openmp support is really efficient).

For your information, this feature computes the scheduling loop and writes it in a source code file which is compiled on the fly. I guess that for debug purpose, it can make sense to edit this source code file before its compilation. Otherwise, this option has no effect.

If you need more information, please contact systemcass maintainer: ​https://www-asim.lip6.fr/trac/systemcass
