bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc#931 is also affected by this one. In this case, the rule is using `cc_common.get_tool_for_action(feature_configuration, action_name)` to get the compiler. https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc/blob/0cf751c0533815747356bd3539d099015d556eb5/foreign_cc/private/cc_toolchain_util.bzl#L269-L276 The problem here is that `get_tool_for_action()` returns the same...

Thanks @powerjg for your informative feedback! One of my original thought was to minimize the impact to the gem5 community. This led me to the idea of keeping both SCons...

Hi @powerjg, could you provide some insight on how this task should be initiated? I'll be more than happy to work on this one, or perhaps I can try creating...

Thanks, @powerjg. Your input was very constructive especially it has addressed many of my concerns about user impact and the project's goals/non-goals. I'll start working on this.

Yes, me and my team are based in Taiwan. As we're still brainstorming technical aspects of the task, I don't have much to update for the upcoming meeting yet. However,...

I've been tinkering with the codebase these days and have some initial findings on modularization. Would you be able to create a design document if there's a preferred place to...

The change is indeed significant. However, I believe the task of modularizing gem5 can still be broken down into smaller subtasks. For example, coupled code needs to be decoupled before...
