// CLASS sc_throw_it<EXCEPT> - ARBITRARY EXCEPTION CLASS
//
// This class serves as a way of throwing an execption for an aribtrary type
// without knowing what that type is. A true virtual method in the base
// class is used to actually throw the execption. A pointer to the base
// class is used internally removing the necessity of knowing what the type
// of EXCEPT is for code internal to the library.
//
// Note the clone() true virtual method. This is used to allow instances
// of the sc_throw_it<EXCEPT> class to be easily garbage collected. Since
// an exception may be propogated to more than one process knowing when
// to garbage collect is non-trivial. So when a call is made to
// sc_process_handle::throw_it() an instance of sc_throw_it<EXCEPT> is
// allocated on the stack. For each process throwing the exception a copy is
// made via clone(). That allows those objects to be deleted by the individual
// processes when they are no longer needed (in this implementation of SystemC
// that deletion will occur each time a new exception is thrown ( see
// sc_thread_process::suspend_me() ).

//       are enabled via the sc_process_handle::sync_reset_on() method. These

  Description of Modification: This is the rewrite of process support. It
                               contains some code from the original
                               sc_process.h by Stan Liao, and the now-defunct
                               sc_process_b.h by Stan Liao and Martin
                               Janssen, all of Synopsys, Inc., It also contains
                               code from the original sc_process_b.h by
                               Andy Goodrich of Forte Design Systems and

// $Log: sc_process.h,v $
// Revision 1.36  2011/08/26 22:44:30  acg
//  Torsten Maehne: eliminate unused argument warning.
//
// Revision 1.35  2011/08/26 20:46:10  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 1.34  2011/08/24 22:05:51  acg
//  Torsten Maehne: initialization changes to remove warnings.
//
// Revision 1.33  2011/08/15 16:43:24  acg
//  Torsten Maehne: changes to remove unused argument warnings.
//
// 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  2011/04/13 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 1.30  2011/04/11 22:07:27  acg

//  an inline method. Added reset processing to the semantics() method.
//
