@cesar-avalos3, @JRPan - for ease of development, do you think we want to soft link gpgpu-sim into the subdirectory even if your repo is elsewhere? You would still have to set find/grep to traverse soft links - but it probably makes the code more traversable. What does VSCode do with softlinks?
Generally VSCode treat soft links as folders. However I remember there were some feature not working very well. I'm pretty sure it was bugged. All standard feature in vscode should work. We should be fine
Are we switching to submodule?
@LAhmos - Not now - it looks like it submodule is going to cause its own set of issues and this is at least better than what we had.
@JRPan - can we approve this? @cesar-avalos3 - provided you are both good with this :)
I agree, seems like more trouble than its worth
Now you can have GPGPU-Sim in many different places, and you aren't forced to sync/modify the setup_enviroment file. I also added a user prompt (that Jenkins short circuits) to allow users to select which repo/branch they want to use when they first run setup_envuronment. No submodules used here - still on the fence if we want to use them for GPGPU-Sim or not.
