I'm trying to implement a few of the system calls. The system call 318 includes copying random bytes to a void* few. However, in the src/sim/syscall_emul.cc file, I could not find any use of void* there are uses of VPtr<>. I'm not sure whether they are the same thing.
Also, I looked into the implementation of VPtr<> http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~swilson/gem5-docs/vptr_8hh_source.html#l00083 and there is no functionality of inserting elements into the underlying buffer attribute. I tried creating the BufferArg object and then calling its bufferPtr() method, however, I'm not sure if this is the best method. Some of the examples make use of std::memcpy on the bufferPtr, but I do not have any other buffer object to copy from. Can someone please confirm whether VPtr<> is the alternative of void* and whether there is any other way to implement for (int i = 0; i < size ; i++) {buf[i] = some random byte;} using VPtr<> _______________________________________________ gem5-users mailing list -- gem5-users@gem5.org To unsubscribe send an email to gem5-users-le...@gem5.org %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s
