Add fine grained control of disabling prints in peek and poke methods #589

Closed da-steve101 closed 8 years ago

da-steve101 commented 8 years ago

fixes #588 which requests fine grained control over printing peek and pokes Unfortunately scala does not allow overrided methods with default arguments: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4652095/why-does-the-scala-compiler-disallow-overloaded-methods-with-default-arguments But what I have done instead is make new methods with an argument "silent". Ie) peek() -> peekSlt( silent), poke() -> pokeSlt(, silent) etc ... the original behaviour for peek and poke is maintained so that it doesn't break anything

It turns out some of the peeks are generated internally by the Tester and the simplest way to silence them is by toggling the isTrace member variable.

As a new Tester interface is under development for Chisel3, we'd like to hold off adding new features/complexity to the existing Tester interface.
