//
// Revision 1.5  2006/03/14 23:56:58  acg
//   Andy Goodrich: This fixes a bug when an exception is thrown in
//   sc_module::sc_module() for a dynamically allocated sc_module
//   object. We are calling sc_module::end_module() on a module that has
//   already been deleted. The scenario runs like this:
//
//   a) the sc_module constructor is entered
//   b) the exception is thrown
//   c) the exception processor deletes the storage for the sc_module
//   d) the stack is unrolled causing the sc_module_name instance to be deleted
//   e) ~sc_module_name() calls end_module() with its pointer to the sc_module
//   f) because the sc_module has been deleted its storage is corrupted,
//      either by linking it to a free space chain, or by reuse of some sort
//   g) the m_simc field is garbage
//   h) the m_object_manager field is also garbage
//   i) an exception occurs
//
//   This does not happen for automatic sc_module instances since the
//   storage for the module is not reclaimed its just part of the stack.
//
//   I am fixing this by having the destructor for sc_module clear the
//   module pointer in its sc_module_name instance. That cuts things at
//   step (e) above, since the pointer will be null if the module has
//   already been deleted. To make sure the module stack is okay, I call
//   end-module() in ~sc_module in the case where there is an
//   sc_module_name pointer lying around.
//
// Revision 1.4  2006/01/24 20:49:05  acg
// Andy Goodrich: changes to remove the use of deprecated features within the
// simulator, and to issue warning messages when deprecated features are used.
//
// Revision 1.3  2006/01/13 18:44:30  acg
