There are several benefits to using a Builder. First, the action we're executing is shared between all uses of the Builder. The number of times this particular builder is called is small, but it should still be a little more efficient. Second, we can use SCons's emitter mechanism to generate the .pb.cc and .pb.h target files in a little more general way. Also, this change adds a Scanner for .proto files which will scan them for imports and let SCons manage those implicit dependencies properly. The scanner is a bit simplistic as described in a comment in the source, but should work pretty well in practice with reasonably formatted files, and in particular some files I'm working with that include imports.

This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
