Encapsulating HLS streams

Hi @AMEYE13​ ,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Let me provide a bit more information...

Basically, I am trying to encapsulate `stream` and `stream_in` in an object to be able to operate on my inputs more easily.

Would something like that possible?

template <int W>
class InputClass
{
private:
    using input_type = ac_int<W, false>;
    input_type word_;
    ihc::stream<input_type> & stream_;
 
public:
    // Constructor
    InputClass(ihc::stream<ac_int<input_type>> & stream) 
    : stream_(stream)
    {
        //std::cout<< "Constructor" << std::endl;
    }
 
    _read()
    {
      stream_.read();
    }
 
    _write(input_type & in)
    {
      stream_.write(in);
    }
};

using input_type = ac_int<W, false>;
 
ihc::stream<input_type> myStream1;
ihc::stream<input_type> myStream2;
ihc::stream<input_type> myStream3;
....
 
component void
my_component()
{
InputClass myInputClass1(myStream1);
InputClass myInputClass2(myStream2);
...
 
myInputClass1.read();
myInputClass1.write(...)
}

Please let me know if this would be an acceptable design, and if so, why I can't have it running.

Thanks

Best,

Val
