Member Function Documentation

containerToString()

template<typename ContainerType >

static std::string P4Tools::Utils::containerToString ( const ContainerType & container )

inlinestatic

Convert a container type (array, set, vector, etc.) into a well-formed [val1, val2, ...] representation. This function is used for debugging output.

generateInternalMethodCall()

const IR::MethodCallExpression * P4Tools::Utils::generateInternalMethodCall ( std::string_view methodName, const std::vector< const IR::Expression * > & argVector, const IR::Type * returnType = IR::Type_Void::get(), const IR::ParameterList * paramList = new IR::ParameterList() )

static

Returns

a method call to an internal extern consumed by the interpreter. The return type is typically Type_Void.

getCurrentSeed()

std::optional< uint32_t > P4Tools::Utils::getCurrentSeed ( )

static

Returns

currentSeed.

getRandBigInt()

big_int P4Tools::Utils::getRandBigInt ( const big_int & max )

static

Returns

a random big integer in the range [0,

Parameters

max].

Always return 0 if no seed is set.

getRandConstantForType()

const IR::Constant * P4Tools::Utils::getRandConstantForType ( const IR::Type_Bits * type )

static

Returns

a IR::Constant with a random big integer that fits the specified

Parameters

type.

getRandConstantForWidth()

const IR::Constant * P4Tools::Utils::getRandConstantForWidth ( int bitWidth )

static

Returns

a IR::Constant with a random big integer that fits the specified bit width. The type will be an unsigned Type_Bits with

Parameters

bitWidth.

getRandInt() [1/3]

int64_t P4Tools::Utils::getRandInt ( const std::vector< int64_t > & percent )

static

Returns

a random integer based on the percent vector.

getRandInt() [2/3]

int64_t P4Tools::Utils::getRandInt ( int64_t min, int64_t max )

static

Returns

a random integer between min and max.

getRandInt() [3/3]

uint64_t P4Tools::Utils::getRandInt ( uint64_t max )

static

Returns

a random integer in the range [0,

Parameters

max].

Always return 0 if no seed is set.

getTimeStamp()

std::string P4Tools::Utils::getTimeStamp ( )

static

Return the current timestamp with millisecond accuracy. Format: year-month-day-hour:minute:second.millisecond Borrowed from https://stackoverflow.com/a/35157784

pickRandom()

template<typename Iter >

static Iter P4Tools::Utils::pickRandom ( Iter start, Iter end )

inlinestatic

Returns

a random element from the given range between

Parameters

start	and
end.

shuffle()

template<typename T >

static void P4Tools::Utils::shuffle ( T * inp )

inlinestatic

Shuffles the given iterable.

Parameters

inp
