The question is if that kind of optimization would really have a significant impact. I'm not sure I can quite imagine the impact being that noticeable without changing the actual semantics of the SystemC simulation itself (though, I may have been accused of suffering from lack of imagination on one or two occasions).
Best regards,

So in theory having the restriction that it is an error to call it during simulation might be a good thing. -Stuart From: owner-systemc-p1666-technical@eda.org [mailto:owner-systemc-p1666-technical@eda.org] On Behalf Of Jeremiassen, Tor Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 11:44 AM To: john.aynsley@doulos.com; systemc-p1666-technical@eda.org Subject: RE: sc_set_stop_mode I don't have any strong opinions on this, other than I'd rather be more permissive than restrictive as long as we don't compromise anything significant.

The LRM says nothing. The OSCI implementation reports a warning if it is called during simulation. Should we rule that it is an error to call sc_set_stop_mode() during simulation, or should it be allowed and supported? Opinions?
