Hi @redxeth,
I can't remember the evolution of this, but from looking at it I think the intention might have been to keep tcl_inputs
around for backwards compatibility (though not very well it seems!) and move to a new more generic name setup
.
I would vote for treating this as a documentation bug and changing it to setup
.
No objection to adding any more customization options that you want. This kind of thing is always a trade-off between trying to add the options that the power users need, while not bamboozling normal users with too many choices.
All,
We are trying to add the
-memories
option to our probe in the TCL file. The template for this file shows an option called:tcl_inputs
that is also indicated in the guide:Unfortunately, it does not appear that this option works as it is not at all referenced in
simulator.rb
.There is a
:setup
options that is brought in and used in the template. So perhaps the:tcl_inputs
option was done in error? I don't see any history of it in the repository. Does anyone have any history?So would like to discuss how to best proceed. Remove all references to
tcl_inputs
and replace the mention in the guide to:setup
to start I would think.Second, the template shows this to be an additional probe, not a replacement for the probe already defined at the start of the template. Should we add a way for overriding even the first probe included by default, for expert users?
