Abstract:

    The system classes SIMSET and SIMULATION have been defined  in
    basic   SIMULA  using  the  HIDDEN  PROTECTED  concepts.   The
    possibility to include  simple  tracing  facilities  in  these
    classes  is  demonstrated  and  its  value for educational and
    debugging purposes is discussed.

Key words and Phrases:

    SIMULA,   HIDDEN   PROTECTED,   SIMSET,   SIMULATION,   Report
    generator,  Tracing,  Debugging, Teaching Simulation Language,
    Quasi-parallell processes.

1. Introduction


1.  Introduction

    The SIMULA Language definition includes  the  built-in  system
    classes SIMSET and SIMULATION.

    These classes are defined in the Common  Base  (1)  in  almost
    "pure"  SIMULA.   The  only discrepancy consists in the use of
    certain class identifiers not accessible by the user.

    Using the HIDDEN PROTECTED concepts, as suggested by Palme (2)
    and  defined  by  the  SIMULA Development Group in 1976 (3), a
    more strict definition in SIMULA is possible.



2.  Use of SIMULA defined versions of SIMSET/SIMULATION

    Now and then, imaginative users of SIMULA express the wish for
    alternatives  to  the  scheduling  mechanism  present  in  the
    built-in system classes.  Sometimes, users want to change  the
    way  SIMSET  handles  circular  list, for example to introduce
    priority queues.

    The presented SIMULA version may be used as a  base  for  such
    extensions.   It  would  -  for example - be easy to introduce
    concepts for new scheduling clauses.

    Consider the programmer who wants to schedule  a  process  (X)
    BEFORE  another  process  (Y)  in such manner that X ALWAYS is
    ACTIVATED before Y.

    Clearly, the statements

              AVTIVATE Y AT 100;
              ACTIVATE X BEFORE Y;
              REACTIVATE Y AT 50;

    will have the effect that X is scheduled  to  the  event  time
    100.   However,  we  are  interested in a scheduling mechanism
    where X is linked  to  the  activation  of  Y  (whenever  that
    happens!)   in  a  "dynamic"  sense  -  i.e.   even  if  Y  is
    REACTIVATED later, X will still be activated before Y.

    Consider the new dynamic scheduling:

               ACTIVATE Y AT 100;
               ACTIVATE X ERE Y;
               REACTIVATE Y AT 50;

    Now, X will be activated at time 50 (ere[1] Y).  In  order  to

----------------------------------------------------------
[1] Ere is an english synonym to Before.

2. Use of SIMULA defined versions of SIMSET/SIMULATION


    accomplish this, we only need to introduce the following small
    changes:



    1.  Introduce a new attribute to Process - PREDECESSOR.

    2.  Introduce  a  new  scheduling  code  "ERE"  in   procedure
        ACTIVATE, which - if either REAC or X was IDLE -

            A) Removes X from SQS (if there)
            B) Makes Y.PREDECESSOR:- X

    3.  Changing procedure CURRENT to -

        REF (PROCESS) PROCEDURE CURRENT;
        INSPECT FIRSTEV.PROC DO
        CURRENT:- IF PREDECESSOR == NONE THEN  THIS  PROCESS  ELSE
        PREDECESSOR;

    4.  Modify procedure NEXTEV to:

        REF (PROCESS) PROCEDURE NEXTEV;
        NEXTEV:-
        IF IDLE THEN NONE ELSE IF EVENT.EVSUC ==  NONE  THEN  NONE
        ELSE
        IF EVENT.EVSUC.PROC.PREDECESSOR =/= NONE THEN
        EVENT.EVSUC.PROC.PREDECESSOR ELSE
        EVENT.EVSUC.PROC;





3.  Use in Education

    The SIMSET and SIMULATION classes as defined in  appendices  A
    and B, may be used when teaching SIMULA SIMSET/SIMULATION.

    Explanation tool

    Quite often SIMULATION is taught as something  like  a  "black
    box" residing within the SIMULA system.  In order to achieve a
    higher order of understanding it might be necessary to go into
    more  detail when describing SIMULATION.  Actually, the design
    of SIMULATION, ingeniously exploiting Detach and Resume, is  a
    very  nice  piece  of SIMULA code.  I have not - so far - seen
    anything like it!  One could wonder  why.   Still  the  module
    consists  of less than 200 lines, or less than 3500 characters
    of compressed code.
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION        Page 4
3. Use in Education


    Tracing

    The  design  of  SIMSET/SIMULATION  is  oriented  towards  the
    principle   -   "Everything  is  legal,  even  if  it  may  be
    meaningless".  Thus,  there  are  several  instances  where  a
    warning message could indicate a possible unintentional misuse
    of a SIMSET/SIMULATION procedure.  Also, an  automatic  report
    generator (tracing) may help to reveal user errors.



4.  Debug messages

    In order to keep the number of run-time  errors  low,  several
    meaningless  or  suspect  calls to system class procedures are
    defined as legal in standard SIMULA.  Sometimes such calls are
    user errors.

    A SIMULA version  of  SIMSET  and  SIMULATION  can  easily  be
    modified to give warning messages in these cases.

    The following suspect cases have been identified:


    1.  X.FOLLOW/PRECEDE(Y);
        where Y == NONE.

    2.  X.FOLLOW/PRECEDE(Y);
        where Y does not belong to any Set.

    3.  X.INTO(Q);
        where Q == NONE.
        Note that cases 1-3 still have the side effect X.OUT.

    4.  CANCEL(X);
        where X is IDLE.

    5.  CANCEL(X);
        where X == NONE.

    6.  HOLD(EPS);
        where TIME+EPS = TIME due to underflow.

    7.  [RE]ACTIVATE X DELAY EPS;
        C.f.  HOLD.

    8.  [RE]ACTIVATE X AT T;
        where T < TIME.

    9.  ACTIVATE X;
        where X was already scheduled.
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION        Page 5
4. Debug messages


   10.  [RE]ACTIVATE X BEFORE/AFTER Y;
        where Y
            A) Was NONE
            B) Was not scheduled (I.e.  IDLE)

        Note that the  side  effect  PASSIVATE  X  still  will  be
        performed.

   11.  [RE]ACTIVATE X AFTER/BEFORE Y;
        where X == Y.
        Note that the effect here will always be NIL!

   12.  [RE]ACTIVATE X;
        where X == NONE.
        (This would have constituted an error if ACTIVATE had been
        made  an  attribute  of  Process.   Same thing for CANCEL.
        Could have been nice though:

        X.ACTIVATE;      Y.CANCEL;

        I am not sure why this was not done from the start.)

   13.  Scheduled Processes at end of simulation.
        Though not always an error, a message  of  the  number  of
        processes  still in SQS might be displayed.  Actually this
        message is only issued if there are more than one  process
        in  SQS  (the  one  usually  beeing  Main  Program).  This
        warning may help to reveal the user error of forgetting to
        Hold Main Program (Hold(SIMPERIOD)).

    Note that in all the cases listed above, no  warning  messages
    will be issued using the standard system classes.  

    Several tracing  systems  have  been  proposed  (4,5,6).   The
    presented method makes things very easy for the user.

    He just adds:

    BEGIN EXTERNAL CLASS ZIMSET, ZIMULATION;

    and replaces SIMULATION BEGIN with ZIMULATION BEGIN.

    For clarity, the names SIMSET and SIMULATION have been changed
    to ZIMSET and ZIMULATION in the SIMULA defined versions.

    Alas, he must also  change  his/her  [RE]ACTIVATE  statements.
    Since  the  SIMULA  syntax  has  deviated  from  ALGOL in this
    special case, we cannot do  better  than  introduce  some  new
    procedures as substitutes for [RE]ACTIVATE.

    Of course, we could force the programmer  to  use  the  Common
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION        Page 6
4. Debug messages


    Base  version of ACTIVATE (with another name though), but that
    procedure is a bit cumbersome to use.

    Thus two procedures:

    [RE]ACTIVAT(PROCES,CODE,T,X);

    are included in ZIMULATION replacing Common Base ACTIVATE.

 -  The first parameter is the process to be scheduled.

 -  Second comes the text CODE which is either

    DIRECT, DELAY, AT, AFTER or BEFORE.

 -  The third parameter is only used when CODE is "DELAY" or "AT".
    The  final parameter is a process used when CODE is "AFTER" or
    "BEFORE".

    What about PRIOR?

    Since priority scheduling is rather  rare,  this  facility  is
    implemented using a ZIMULATION Boolean attribute PRIOR_ (PRIOR
    is a reserved word in SIMULA).  By assigning the value TRUE to
    PRIOR_,  before  calling [RE]ACTIVAT, priority scheduling will
    occur.  PRIOR_ will be automatically reset to FALSE after  the
    procedure call.



5.  Report procedures

5.1 PROCEDURE REPORT

    ZIMSET  contains  a  procedure  REPORT  with   the   following
    parameters:


    1.  WARN - CHARACTER by VALUE.
        This character is output at the start of each report line.

    2.  OBJTITLE - TEXT by REF.
        The title of the object concerned.

    3.  T - TEXT by NAME.
        Descriptive text.

    The output line is formatted like this:

    <WARN> <NOW> <OBJTITLE> <T>
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION        Page 7
5. Report procedures


    where NOW is a VIRTUAL TEXT PROCEDURE returning NOTEXT on  the
    ZIMSET level.

    Using ZIMULATION, NOW  is  redefined  returning  TIME  in  the
    format

      [xxxD]  00:00[.SS[.secdec]]

    The output format is controlled by procedure

    SETPARMS(TIMEUNIT,SECDEC);

    The TIME is interpreted as being in units of

    Days if 1st parm is     'D'
    Hours   -  "  -         'H'
    Minutes -  "  -         'M'
    Seconds -  "  -         'S'

    SECDEC controls the "Seconds" part of the format.  If SECDEC >
    0  then  SECDEC  decimal places will be used.  If zero then no
    fraction part will appear, else (if < 0) then the Seconds part
    will  be  suppressed  all  together.   The  code  for the time
    editing procedure PUTTIME is included in appendix C.

    If TIMEUNIT is none of the characters listed  above,  PUTFLOAT
    format  will  be  used.   Putfloat  edits  a  number  removing
    trailing zeros (and rounding up trailing 9's).   The  code  is
    included  in  appendix  D.  Using PUTFLOAT, printing 1/16 will
    actually result in "0.0625" and nothing else.

    The <TIME> field is output only if it differs from that of the
    previous output line.

    Another debug facility is the two following procedures.

    PROCEDURE SETLIST

    The ZIMSET procedure SETLIST displays the contents of  a  set.
    Here  also  non-title objects will be displayed (with the name
    "Link Object").

    PROCEDURE SQSLIST

    The  ZIMULATION  procedure  SQSLIST  will  display   all   the
    processes in SQS.  The output will include the title of object
    (or generation number) as well as its event time.


    Existing Report generators for SIMULATION  naturally  gives  a
    more  readable  printout  (often  including  queue  statistics
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION        Page 8
5. Report procedures


    etc.).  The advantage with the presented trace  facilities  is
    that they demand a minimum of change to existing "pure SIMULA"
    SIMULATION programs.  Thus, HOLD, PASSIVATE, CANCEL  etc  need
    not  be  changed  -  only  scheduling  statements  have  to be
    slightly edited.

    The Sequencing Set (SQS) is implemented  according  to  Common
    Base,  i.e.   using  ordinary  SIMSET (ZIMSET) circular lists.
    The use of  a  binary  tree  would  of  course  be  much  more
    efficient  (this is how it is actually implemented in standard
    SIMULATION).  However, if the ZIMULATION class is to  be  used
    in  education,  the more expensive SIMSET linear list might be
    tolerated, and much easier to teach and explain.   Defining  a
    binary tree SQS should be an excellent student exercise.



6.  Controlling Debug Output

    In order to start tracing the user calls

    TRACEON(FILENAME,TRACECODES);

    where FILENAME is the name of the generated  file.   If  there
    already  exists  such a file, the new results will be appended
    to the end of the file.  Default filename (NOTEXT) is  Sysout.
    The  Trace  will be started with an identification line giving
    Date and Time of day.

    TRACECODES governs which mechanisms to trace.  It consists  of
    a string of characters, each uniquely defining one facility.

    O       Out
    F       Follow
    I       Into, Precede
    Q       Clear, Cardinal

    H       Hold
    P       Passivate
    C       Cancel

    D       Direct                  !
    A       At, Delay               !       ACTIVATION
    B       Before/After            !       Messages
    R       React. message          !

    An asterisk ("*") will be equivalent to "OFIQHPCDABR".

    Tracing is switched off by calling

    TRACEOFF;
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION        Page 9
6. Controlling Debug Output


    Not all objects will be automatically traced.

 -  Processes  will  always  be  traced  (after   TRACEON   i.e.).
    However, the identity of the process will just be an anonymous
    process generation  count  number.   The  user  may  introduce
    his/her own object titles by declaring

    TEXT PROCEDURE title;

    returning an object specific name.

 -  Objects IN Linkage, not in Process, will not be traced  unless
    the user declares a PROCEDURE TITLE not returning NOTEXT.

    The following trace messages  will  be  issued.   The  TRACEON
    character code is indicated within ( ).


    1.  OUT (O)
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Leaving Set <HEADTITLE>

    2.  FOLLOW (F)
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Into (First in) Set <HEADTITLE> or
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Follows <XTITLE>

    3.  PRECEDE and INTO (I)
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Into (Last in) Set <HEADTITLE> or
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Precedes <XTITLE>

    4.  CLEAR and CARDINAL (Q)
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Cleared or
        <NOW>       <TITLE> Cardinal nnn

    5.  HOLD (H)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> Held <EPS>      TO      <TNEW>

    6.  PASSIVATE (P)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> Passivated

        This message will also occur when the process terminates.

    7.  CANCEL (C)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> Cancelled - Evtime <OLDEVTIME>

    8.  ACTIVATE (D)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> ACTIVATED

    9.  ACTIVATE DELAY/AT (A)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> will be ACT.  Delay 0 [PRIOR]
        <TIME>      <TITLE> will be ACT.  AT <EVTIME> [PRIOR]
        <TIME>      <TITLE> will be Delayed to <EVTIME> [PRIOR]
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION       Page 10
6. Controlling Debug Output


   10.  ACTIVATE AFTER/BEFORE (B)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> ACT.  AFTER  <YTITLE> Sch at <YEVTIME>
        <TIME>      <TITLE> ACT.  BEFORE <YTITLE> Sch at <YEVTIME>

   11.  REACTIVATE (R)
        <TIME>      <TITLE> Was REACT.  from <OLDEVTIME>

        This message is  an  explanation  following  messages  4-6
        above if REACTIVAT rather than ACTIVAT was used.

    The initial time field is output only if it is different  from
    that of the previous output line.



7.  Demonstration Example

    In (4) is demonstrated a simple simulation program  describing
    trucks moving cargo from a harbour to a factory.

    The complete program looks as follows.

    BEGIN
       EXTERNAL PROCEDURE abort,write;      [1]
       EXTERNAL TEXT PROCEDURE conc,upcase,puttime,putfloat,
       inline,today,daytime;

       zimulation BEGIN

          REF (platform) harbour, store, factory;
          INTEGER i, u;

          process CLASS truck(truckname);   VALUE truckname;
          TEXT truckname;
          BEGIN
             TEXT PROCEDURE title;   title:- truckname;
             WHILE TRUE DO
             BEGIN

8. Using HIDDEN PROTECTED


8.  Using HIDDEN PROTECTED

    The HIDDEN PROTECTED concepts, as proposed by  Palme  (2)  and
    now  formally defined by the SIMULA Development Group (3) have
    made it possible to hide those quantities that should  not  be
    accessible to the user.

    A short summary of these concepts.

 -  An attribute may be specified PROTECTED on the level where  it
    is  introduced.  This will have the effect that this attribute
    will not be accessible through remote access.

 -  An attribute may be  specified  HIDDEN  if  it  is  PROTECTED,
    having the effect that it will not be accessible in the prefix
    chain (subclasses or prefixed blocks).  Thus an attribute  may
    also be specified HIDDEN at an inner level to the one where it
    was PROTECTED.

    How are these mechanisms used in ZIMSET and ZIMULATION?

    In ZIMSET, CLASS Linkage has been defined according to:

    CLASS Linkage;
    PROTECTED isuc,ipred;
    BEGIN   REF (Linkage) isuc,ipred;

       REF (Link) PROCEDURE suc;
       IF isuc IN Link THEN suc:- isuc;

       REF (Link) PROCEDURE pred;
       IF ipred IN Link THEN pred:- ipred;

       REF (Linkage) PROCEDURE prev;
       prev:- ipred;

    END of Linkage;

    CLASS Link is defined:

    Linkage CLASS Link;
    HIDDEN ipred,isuc;
    BEGIN
    ....Procedures INTO, PRECEDE, FOLLOW as in Common Base
    END of Link;

    Likewise, IPRED and ISUC are hidden in CLASS HEAD, thus making
    these attributes completely inaccessible.  Note that an HIDDEN
    attribute  is  accessible  at  the   level   of   the   HIDDEN
    specification!
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION       Page 14
8. Using HIDDEN PROTECTED


    The Linkage attributes ISUC and IPRED are still visible inside
    inner  levels to Linkage - not IN Head or Link.  The user must
    therefore himself hide ISUC and IPRED  in  his  subclasses  to
    Linkage (if any!).

    Alternatively  we  could  have   introduced   a   LINKAGETEMP,
    identical to LINKAGE adding a new LINKAGE level where ISUC and
    IPRED are HIDDEN.  HEAD and LINK then  would  be  prefixed  by
    LINKAGETEMP  of  course.   Finally LINKAGETEMP would have been
    made HIDDEN PROTECTED in ZIMSET itself.

    In ZIMULATION, the following changes have been made.

    At the  system  CLASS  level,  the  following  quantities  are
    specified HIDDEN PROTECTED -

    EVENTNOTICE, SQS, FIRSTEV, IMAIN, MAINPROGRAM, PROCESSTEMP

    Since the attributes  of  EVENTNOTICE,  EVTIME  and  PROC  are
    inaccessible   due   to  the  inaccessibility  of  EVENTNOTICE
    qualification,  there  is  no  need  to  hide  the  individual
    attributes.   This  could  not  have  been  done  anyway - the
    attributes are accessed remotely within ZIMULATION.

    There remains one trouble  spot,  though.   In  ACTIVATE,  the
    first parameter is the Process concerned.  The procedure makes
    access (remotely) of the  secret  attributes  ITERMINATED  and
    EVENT.  Since we cannot PROTECT them at an inner level we must
    invent some trick.

    The trick is to define an intermediate CLASS PROCESSTEMP -

    Link CLASS processtemp;
    PROTECTED iterminated;
    BEGIN
       REF (eventnotice) event;   BOOLEAN iterminated;

       BOOLEAN PROCEDURE terminated;
       terminated:= iterminated;
    ... etc. according to Common Base

    END of process temporarily defined;

    We now define our Process level -

    processtemp CLASS Process;
    HIDDEN iterminated;
    BEGIN
       event:
    END of Process;
A Working SIMULA definition of SIMSET and SIMULATION       Page 15
8. Using HIDDEN PROTECTED


    By redeclaring EVENT to  a  (harmless?)  LABEL,  the  original
    meaning  of EVENT will be inaccessible to the user.  Note that
    we cannot hide and protect the new (label) EVENT,  since  that
    would  have  made the old one visible.  Alternatively we could
    not PROTECT the original EVENT since it is  used  remotely  in
    ACTIVATE..subtitle 9.  Conclusions



9.  Conclusions

    As stated above, the presented SIMULA definition of SIMSET and
    SIMULATION  could  be used as a base for further extensions of
    queue handling and discrete event facilities.

    On  the  other  hand,  the  described  trace   and   debugging
    facilities  may  easily  be included as a part of the built-in
    system classes.  The SIMULA  Development  Group  is  currently
    discussing  this  issue.   It  is  the  authors hope that this
    report will highlight some of the diagnostic possiblities that
    may be considered.
