Hello Steve,
I tried the following in a topology configuration file:
childStates = ChildStates()
childStates.addChild(child) #child is the MachineID
When I run gem5 I get the following error:
childStates.getChild(test)
File "/home/alex/Desktop/gem5/gem5-stable/src/python/m5/SimObject.py", line
725, in __getattr__
% (self.__class__.__name__, attr)
AttributeError: object 'ChildStates' has no attribute 'getChild'
This is the only method I tried, but I can't think of any other method to get
it done.
One day I may add some information to the wiki, but I am a tad busy now.
Best regards,
Alex Tomala

Subject: Re: [gem5-users] Calling a C++ function in Python
What have you tried and what problems are you having? It should just be a
matter of calling 'obj.addChild(x)' on your ChildStates object 'obj'.
It looks like you've figured most of this out already, but a lot of the current
mechanism was added in this changeset (see particularly the comments in the
added code in SimObject.py):
http://repo.gem5.org/gem5/rev/45c9f664a365
And here's an example of adding a method:
http://repo.gem5.org/gem5/rev/09dcdb40b109
If you're feeling ambitious, it would be great if you'd be willing to write up
some documentation on how to add callable functions on the wiki, say on this
page (or a page linked from it):
http://gem5.org/SimObjects
Thanks,
Steve
