//Revision 1.7  2011/08/26 20:45:39  acg
// Andy Goodrich: moved the modification log to the end of the file to
// eliminate source line number skew when check-ins are done.
//
//Revision 1.6  2011/04/08 18:22:45  acg
// Philipp A. Hartmann: use the context of the primitive channel to get
// the change stamp value.
//
//Revision 1.5  2011/04/05 20:48:09  acg
// Andy Goodrich: changes to make sure that event(), posedge() and negedge()
// only return true if the clock has not moved.
//
//Revision 1.4  2011/04/05 06:15:18  acg
// Philipp A. Hartmann: sc_writer_policy: ignore no-ops in delta check.
//
//Revision 1.3  2011/02/18 20:23:45  acg
// Andy Goodrich: Copyright update.
//
//Revision 1.2  2010/12/07 19:50:36  acg
// Andy Goodrich: addition of writer policies, courtesy of Philipp Hartmann.
//
//Revision 1.1.1.1  2006/12/15 20:20:04  acg
//SystemC 2.3
//
//Revision 1.8  2006/03/13 20:19:43  acg
// Andy Goodrich: changed sc_event instances into pointers to sc_event instances
// that are allocated as needed. This saves considerable storage for large
// numbers of signals, etc.
//
//Revision 1.7  2006/01/26 21:00:49  acg
// Andy Goodrich: conversion to use sc_event::notify(SC_ZERO_TIME) instead of
// sc_event::notify_delayed()
//
//Revision 1.6  2006/01/24 20:46:31  acg
//Andy Goodrich: changes to eliminate use of deprecated features. For instance,
//using notify(SC_ZERO_TIME) in place of notify_delayed().
//
//Revision 1.5  2006/01/19 19:18:25  acg
//Andy Goodrich: eliminated check_writer in favor of inline code within the
//write() method since we always execute the check_writer code even when
//check writing is turned off.
//
//Revision 1.4  2006/01/19 00:30:57  acg
//Andy Goodrich: Yet another implementation for disabling write checks on
//signals. This version uses an environment variable, SC_SIGNAL_WRITE_CHECK,
//that when set to DISABLE will turn off write checking.
//
//Revision 1.3  2006/01/13 18:47:20  acg
//Reversed sense of multiwriter signal check. It now defaults to ON unless the
//user defines SC_NO_WRITE_CHEK before inclusion of the file.
//
//Revision 1.2  2006/01/03 23:18:26  acg
//Changed copyright to include 2006.
//
//Revision 1.1.1.1  2005/12/19 23:16:43  acg
//First check in of SystemC 2.1 into its own archive.
//
//Revision 1.9  2005/06/10 22:43:55  acg
//Added CVS change log annotation.
//

// Taf!
