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

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you trying to access an object method or class method?

For an object method, it would be accessed by doing

  cacheMemory.myFunction()

If you want to access a static class method, you will need to create a
wrapper function because I don't think SLICC can understand something in
the form CacheMemory<CacheEntry>::myFunction()
