Hi Everyone, I wanted to let everyone know that the format of the statistics file has changed with a recent commit that I made. Up until today, M5 had an option to print statistics in a simplescalar compatible output format. The default was usually to use this compatibility mode, but due to an initialization bug, sometimes this wouldn't happen. There were even examples of committed tests where some of the tests were in one mode and some were in another. The combination of this bug, the fact that the compatibility mode isn't that important, and the fact that it just made the code more complicated, I've removed the compatibility mode. All statistics outputs should be consistent now.
As a side benefit, I believe that people will find that the new text format is much easier to parse now. One notable change was that "<err: div-0>" and "no value" are both now "no_value". This makes the new format easily parsed using white space to separate into three colums: stat name, value, and an option comment/description.
