      Name, Affiliation, Date: Andy Goodrich, Forte Design Systems, 12 Aug 05
  Description of Modification: This is the rewrite of process support. It 
                               contains some code from the now-defunct 
                               sc_process_b.cpp, as well as the former 
                               version of sc_process_b.cpp.

// $Log: sc_process.cpp,v $
// Revision 1.37  2011/08/24 22:05:51  acg
//  Torsten Maehne: initialization changes to remove warnings.
//
// Revision 1.36  2011/08/15 16:43:24  acg
//  Torsten Maehne: changes to remove unused argument warnings.
//
// Revision 1.35  2011/08/07 19:08:04  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: moved logs to end of file so line number synching works
//  better between versions.
//
// Revision 1.34  2011/07/29 22:55:01  acg
//  Philipp A. Hartmann: add missing include.
//
// Revision 1.33  2011/07/29 22:43:41  acg
//   Philipp A. Hartmann: changes to handle case where a process control
//   invocation on a child process causes the list of child processes to change.
//
// Revision 1.32  2011/07/24 11:20:03  acg
//  Philipp A. Hartmann: process control error message improvements:
//  (1) Downgrade error to warning for re-kills of processes.
//  (2) Add process name to process messages.
//  (3) drop some superfluous colons in messages.
//
// Revision 1.31  2011/04/19 15:04:27  acg
//  Philipp A. Hartmann: clean up SC_ID messages.
//
// Revision 1.30  2011/04/14 22:33:43  acg

//
// Revision 1.29  2011/04/13 05:00:43  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: removed check for method process in termination_event()
//  since with the new IEEE 1666 2011 its legal.
//
// Revision 1.28  2011/04/13 02:44:26  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: added m_unwinding flag in place of THROW_NOW because the
//  throw status will be set back to THROW_*_RESET if reset is active and
//  the check for an unwind being complete was expecting THROW_NONE as the
//  clearing of THROW_NOW.
//
// Revision 1.27  2011/04/10 22:17:35  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: added trigger_reset_event() to allow sc_process.h to
//  contain the run_process() inline method. sc_process.h cannot have
//  sc_simcontext information because of recursive includes.
//
// Revision 1.26  2011/04/08 22:33:08  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: moved the semantics() method to the header file and made
//  it an inline method.
//
// Revision 1.25  2011/04/08 18:24:48  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: moved reset_changed() to .cpp since it needs visibility
//  to sc_simcontext.
//
// Revision 1.24  2011/04/05 20:50:57  acg
//  Andy Goodrich:
//    (1) changes to make sure that event(), posedge() and negedge() only
//        return true if the clock has not moved.
//    (2) fixes for method self-resumes.
//    (3) added SC_PRERELEASE_VERSION
//    (4) removed kernel events from the object hierarchy, added
//        sc_hierarchy_name_exists().
//
// Revision 1.23  2011/04/05 06:25:38  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: new checks for simulation running in reset_process().
//
// Revision 1.22  2011/03/20 13:43:23  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: added async_signal_is() plus suspend() as a corner case.
//
// Revision 1.21  2011/03/12 21:07:51  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: changes to kernel generated event support.

//  synchronous reset and suspend.
//
// Revision 1.19  2011/03/06 23:30:13  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: refining suspend - sync reset corner case checking so that
//  the following are error situations:
//    (1) Calling suspend on a process with a reset_signal_is() specification
//        or sync_reset_on() is active.
//    (2) Calling sync_reset_on() on a suspended process.
//
// Revision 1.18  2011/03/06 19:57:11  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: refinements for the illegal suspend - synchronous reset
//  interaction.
//
// Revision 1.17  2011/03/06 16:47:09  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: changes for testing sync_reset - suspend corner cases.
//
// Revision 1.16  2011/03/06 15:57:57  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: added process control corner case checks. Changes for
//  named events.

//  process.
//
// Revision 1.10  2011/02/04 15:27:36  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: changes for suspend-resume semantics.
//
// Revision 1.9  2011/02/01 21:06:12  acg

//
// Revision 1.2  2007/09/20 20:32:35  acg
//  Andy Goodrich: changes to the semantics of throw_it() to match the
//  specification. A call to throw_it() will immediately suspend the calling
//  thread until all the throwees have executed. At that point the calling
//  thread will be restarted before the execution of any other threads.
//
