Functions Functions are self-contained blocks of code designed to perform specific tasks. They promote code reusability, modularity, and abstraction. Functions can participate in polymorphism through: Compile-time polymorphism (Static Polymorphism) Function overloading Operator overloading Function templates Runtime polymorphism Virtual functions 1. Function Overloading Function overloading allows creating multiple functions with the same name but different parameter types or parameter counts. Different return types alone are not enough to overload a function. Function delete using delete keyword. Default-arguments is a default value provided for a function parameter. Parameters with default arguments must always be the rightmost parameters, and they are not used to differentiate functions when resolving overloaded functions. void print_int(int x) {} void print_int_or_default(int x, int y = 2) {} template <typename T> void print_int(T) = delete; void main() { print_int(97); // okay // printInt('a'); // compile error // printInt(true); // compile error print_int_or_default(5); // prints: 5, 2 print_int_or_default(5, 10); // prints: 5, 10 } 2. Operator Overloading Operator overloading allows C++ operators to be customized for user-defined types. ...

Pointer and Reference lvalue/rvalue An lvalue is an expression that refers to an identifiable object, function, or bit-field. It has an address that can be taken and typically persists beyond a single expression. An rvalue is an expression whose primary purpose is to provide a value rather than identify an object. e.g. temporary objects and literals An lvalue can generally be used wherever an rvalue is expected because its value can be read. ...

SystemC - TLM Transaction-Level Modeling 2.0 (TLM-2.0) is a modeling methodology defined in IEEE 1666-2023. Instead of communicating through individual signals at every clock cycle, modules exchange complete transactions (read/write requests) using C++ function calls. This raises the abstraction level, dramatically increasing simulation speed and enabling early software development before RTL is available. 1. Introduce TLM-2.0 replaces pin-level signal connections with high-level function calls carrying a tlm_generic_payload transaction object. An initiator (e.g., a CPU model) calls transport functions on a target (e.g., a memory) through typed sockets and a bus/router. ...

System C SystemC is a C++ class library, that provides a mechanism for managing complex systems involving large numbers of components. SystemC is capable of modeling hardware and software together at multiple level of abstraction (Algorithm / Functional level, Transaction-Level Modeling, Register Transfer Level) Modeling is the process of creating a simplified version of a real system. Simulation is the process of executing the model over time to see how it behaves. ...

1. Introduction CMake is a tool used for meta-build system generator. We write high-level instructions in a CMakeLists.txt file (platform-agnostic).Then CMake generates build system files for the platform we choose: On Linux/Unix: generates Makefile (for make) or build.ninja (for ninja). On Windows: generates Visual Studio solutions (.sln). On macOS: can generate Xcode projects. CMake Generators: CMake support multiple build systems output a.k.a generators. Which generator is used can be controlled via CMAKE_GENERATOR or cmake -G option ...

I/O Streams - It is a part of the STL. - I/O is implemented with `streams`. <br> - **stream** is a sequence of bytes that can be accessed sequentially. It may produce or consume amounts data over time. - **input stream**: used to hold input data from a data producer. - **output stream**: used to hold output data for a particular data consumer. - *e.g.* when writing/input data to an device, the device may not be ready to accept that data, so the data will sit in the stream. - [C++] <=> streams <=> [os] <br> - **I/O in C++**: we can use the STL classes to deal with streams - **input stream**: `istream` & extraction operation (`>>`) is used to remove values from the stream - **output stream**: `ostream` & insertio operation (`<<`) is used to put vlaues in the stream.\ - `iostream` can handle both i & o <br> - **Standard streams**: - `cin`: an `istream` object tied to the standard input - `cout`: an `ostream` object tied to the standard output - `cerr`: an `ostream` object tied to the standard error - unbuffered output - `clog`: an `ostream` object tied to the standard error - buffered output ### 23.2. Input with istream - Use `extraction operator (>>)` to read information from an input stream. It skips **whitespace (blanks, tabs, and newlines)**. Use `get(), getLine()` to not discard the whitespace. - `manipulator` is an object that is used to modify a stream when applied with the `extraction (>>)` or `insertion (<<)` operators. <iomanip> ### 23.3. Output with ostream https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/output-with-ostream-and-ios/ ### 23.4. Stream classes for string <sstream> - String streams provide a buffer to hold data but are not connected to an I/O channel. - The primary uses of the string stream: - Display data later then or proccess i/o data. - Get data into a string stream - Get data from a string stream - Convertion strings/numbers - Clear a string stream - e.g: ```cpp #include <sstream> #include <string> int main() { std::stringstream os{}; // input os << "0xF"; std::cout << os.str(); os.str("0x1 0x2"); std::cout << os.str(); // output std::string bytesStr = os.str(); std::cout << bytesStr; os.str("0x0 0xF 0xE 0x2"); os >> bytesStr; std::cout <<bytesStr; // conversions int byte_low = 0xFFF; int byte_high = 0x001; os.clear(); os << byte_low << ' ' << byte_high; std::cout << os.str(); } 23.5.

Introduction It’s a build tool (specifically, make is a build automation utility). How it works: Reads a file called Makefile that describes rules for how to build source files into targets (executables, libraries, etc.). GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program’s source files. Make get its knowledge of how to build your program from a file called the makefile, which lists each of the non-source files and how to compute it from the other files. When you write a program, you should write a makefile for it, so that it is possible to use Make to build and install the program. ...
