Hey Gabe,
I still don't feel like this gives me enough context to do a good job
reviewing these changesets. For instance, before, I would go to util/m5 and
run `make -f Makefile.` to create the m5 utility. What is the new
process? It seems to be done with scons? Where is the binary created when
Hi Jason. As I've said somewhere before (maybe this thread?), that is
mostly not changing. There will still be an m5 library for use in other
programs, a java and lua wrapper, an m5 utility which takes basically the
same commands (with some cruft removed), etc. The changes are that I'm
refactoring
Hey Gabe,
I'd love to review your patches that you've posted improving the m5
utility, but I don't feel that I can review them well without understanding
what the end goal is. If you could provide some documentation on how you
see the m5 utility being used, then I can try to carve out some time
Hi Jason, replies inline.

That's not a bad idea, although there
Oh, one more comment...
Do you think it's worth changing the name to "gem5" instead of "m5". Since
we're making big changes, it seems like now might be right time.
Cheers,

Hey Gabe,
First of all, thanks for this cleanup. We've needed to update this code for
a long time!
Do you have a pointer to what would be "new" documentation on the m5 ops
tools? I was briefly going through your changes and it's not clear how
you're envisioning people using this library now. For
Hi folks. I just uploaded a series (mostly small) patches which revamp the
m5 utility as described in a design document I sent out a while ago. I've
done some very preliminary sanity testing, but a lot more testing
can/should be done to make sure I didn't screw anything up.
One thing in
