Re: [Gems-users] Access CacheMemory object inside the .sm file

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the same .sm file, you will see the definition of CacheMemory:


  external_type(CacheMemory) {
    bool cacheAvail(Address);
    Address cacheProbe(Address);
    void allocate(Address);
    void deallocate(Address);
    Entry lookup(Address);
    void changePermission(Address, AccessPermission);
    bool isTagPresent(Address);
  }

Add your functions there.  The reason why this is defined in every SLICC
file is because CacheMemory is templated based on the protocol-specific
definition of CacheEntry.
