How to get sc_module_name of the current running module

Question

When I create an instance if sc_module I give it a string as a module name (sc_module_name).

How can I get the name of the module that is currently running?

Answer 1

To get the name of the module that is currently running in systemc:

Use sc_get_current_process_b to get the currently executing process (SC thread or method). Then use get_parent to get its parent, which is going to be the module. Then use basename or name to get its name:

const char* name = sc_core::sc_get_current_process_b()->get_parent()->basename();

(omitted error handling for brevity)

Answer 2

You can simply use name()

I used to use this to figure out which instance is doing what.

If that doesn't work it is because you need SC_HAS_PROCESS constructor instead of SC_CTOR
