cModuleType Class Reference¶

Constructor.

Referenced by find(), and get().

Returns true if the module type was declared with the "network" keyword.

Returns true if this module type was declared as a simple module in the NED file, i.e. using the "simple" keyword.

Creates a submodule under the given parent module. If index is given, the module creates an element in a module vector; the module vector of the given name must already exist and must be sufficiently large (size>index).

In addition to creating an object of the correct type, this function inserts the module into the simulation's data structure, and adds the parameters and gates specified in the NED declaration.

After creation, the module still needs to go through a setup of several steps before it is ready to use. The full process is the following:

As callInitialize() and some of the other functions perform the preceding steps if they are not yet done, the above code can be abbreviated to:

This is a convenience function to get a module up and running in one step.

First, the module is created using create() and buildInside(), then a starter message is created (for activity() modules only), then initialize() is called (mod->callInitialize()).

This method works for simple and compound modules alike. Not applicable if the module:

• has parameters to be set
• gate vector sizes to be set
• gates to be connected before initialize()
