mphname is replaced by the name of the MultiPortHole. When a PortHole is added to the MultiPortHole, it is also added to the porthole list of the Block that contains the MultiPortHole. As a result, a Block that contains a MultiPortHole has, in effect, a configurable number of portholes. A pair of MultiPortHoles can be connected by a "bus connection". This technique creates n PortHoles in each MultiPortHole and connects them all "in parallel". The MultiPortHole constructor sets the "peer MPH" to 0. The destructor deletes any constituent PortHoles.
void initialize();Does nothing.
void busConnect (MultiPortHole& peer, int width, int delay = 0);Makes a bus connection with another multiporthole,
peer, with width width and delay delay. If there is an existing bus connection, it is changed as necessary; an existing bus connection may be widened, or, if connected to a different peer, all constituent portholes are deleted and a bus is made from scratch.
int isItMulti() const;Returns
TRUE.
MultiPortHole& setPort(const char* portName,
Block* parent,DataType type = FLOAT);
int numberPorts() const;Return the number of PortHoles in the MultiPortHole.
virtual PortHole& newPort();Add a new physical port to the MultiPortHole list.
MultiPortHole& realPort();Return the real MultiPortHole associated with me, translating any aliases.
void setAlias (MultiPortHole &blockPort);Set my alias to
blockPort.
virtual PortHole& newConnection();Return a new port for connections. If there is an unconnected porthole, return the first one; otherwise make a new one.
PortList ports;The list of portholes (should be protected).
const char* newName();This function generates names to be used for contained PortHoles. They are saved in the hash table provided by the
hashstring function .
PortHole& installPort(PortHole& p);This function adds a newly created port to the multiporthole. Derived MultiPortHole classes typically redefine
newPort to create a porthole of the appropriate type, and then use this function to register it and install it.
void delPorts();This function deletes all contained portholes.
