[gem5-users] Destructor invocation

[Shyam Murthy]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to profile some information while running an application on gem5 using classic cache model. I have added a data structure in the BaseCache class file (src/mem/cache/base.cc <http://base.cc/>). I would like to print the contents of the data structure at the end of the simulation. I don’t see any prints from the BaseCache class destructor at the end of the simulation. How are the BaseCache class objects being destroyed?

I tried printing the contents of the data structure within the OutputStream class destructor, I could see the prints, however the data structure was freed by then. When does gem5 free user defined data structures defined within base.cc <http://base.cc/>?

Thanks in advance.

With regards

Hi Shyam,

You can register a callback function that will execute when the simulator
exits. You can call the following function at any time (likely during
construction of your SimObject) to register the callback:

Here is an example use very similar to your use case:

Cheers,
Jason
