Hi,

You can find related information in mem/slicc/symbols/StateMachine.py. This is 
the slicc `compiler`, used for generate C++ files from .sm files. 
Like recordRequestType function, you can find it in line 1749 (may in another 
line, search `recordRequestType`). The comment says `Record access types for 
this transition`. 
Seems like this function will be invoked every transition. 

Best,
Congwu

Subject: [gem5-users] Invoked SLICC functions outside SLICC?
Hi Folks,
 
I am attempting to get a better handle on the statistics collection within the 
cache protocols, and one thing I noticed while browsing around the MOESI AMD 
protocol was that some functions, such as functionalRead/Write, 
checkResourceAvailable and recordRequestType are defined, but never 
specifically invoked within the .sm protocol itself. I note that there do seem 
to be default versions of these functions elsewhere within the Ruby/SLICC 
filesystem, and that these definitions may be overriding the original 
definitions. However, I am having trouble reconciling where these functions are 
being called then. As an example, after running a traffic generator on a setup 
using the MOESI_AMD_Base protocol, I can clearly see cacheMemory statistics 
that come from the recordRequestType function, but I am having trouble 
understanding how and where this happens (since it is not happening directly in 
the .sm file, and a browse through the codebase has left me stuck). Any help is 
appreciated, Thank you
