Daniel R. Carvalho dca020e98c scons: Allow declaring dependencies of tags
It was quite incovenient to declare tags. tags either
had to be added to the Source declaration of included
files, or using (with_tag()) would need to be added
with all the indirect sub-tags. For example,

Assume:
- B.cc refers to symbols in A.cc
- C.cc refers to symbols in B.cc (i.e., it needs A transitively)
- D.cc refers to symbols in A.cc and C.cc (i.e., it needs B trans.)

So either their SConscript would be:
  Source('A.cc', add_tags=['B', 'D'])
  Source('B.cc', add_tags='B')
  Source('C.cc', add_tags='C')
  Source('D.cc', add_tags='D')

  GTest('A.test', 'A.test.cc', 'a.cc')
  GTest('B.test', 'B.test.cc', with_tag('B'))
  GTest('C.test', 'C.test.cc', with_any_tags('B', 'C'))
  GTest('D.test', 'D.test.cc', with_any_tags('B', 'C', 'D'))

or:
  Source('A.cc', add_tags=['B', 'C', 'D'])
  Source('B.cc', add_tags=['B', 'C', 'D'])
  Source('C.cc', add_tags=['C', 'D'])
  Source('D.cc', add_tags='D')

  GTest('A.test', 'A.test.cc', 'a.cc')
  GTest('B.test', 'B.test.cc', with_tag('B'))
  GTest('C.test', 'C.test.cc', with_tag('C'))
  GTest('D.test', 'D.test.cc', with_tag('D'))

This change makes it simpler. The tag should be added
only to the files directly included by the functionality
being tagged. Using the same example:

  Source('A.cc', add_tags=['B', 'D'])
  Source('B.cc', add_tags='B')
  Source('C.cc', add_tags='C')
  Source('D.cc', add_tags='D')

  env.TagImplies('B', 'A')
  env.TagImplies('C', 'B')
  env.TagImplies('D', ['A', 'C'])

  GTest('A.test', 'A.test.cc', 'a.cc')
  GTest('B.test', 'B.test.cc', with_tag('B'))
  GTest('C.test', 'C.test.cc', with_tag('C'))
  GTest('D.test', 'D.test.cc', with_tag('D'))

This also means that when a file no longer refers to
symbols from other file, or when it starts refering to
symbols from another file, one only needs to change
the dependencies of the tag directly being modified,
not the tags that rely on (imply) them. That is, on
the previous example, if C stops refering to symbols
from B, then tags that imply C do not need to be
modified:

  env.TagImplies('B','A')
  env.TagImplies('D', ['A', 'C'])

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.
