TLM/SystemC: tlm socket 绑定问题

在systemc编程中，如果程序run过程中出现以下两种报错，则说明系统中有port没有正确绑定。

Error:  (E126) sc_export instance already bound: xxxxxx

In file: xxxx/sysc/sysc/communication/sc_export.h:188 (systemc 2.3.3)

In file: xxxx/sysc/sysc/communication/sc_export.h:179 (systemc 2.3.1)

 

Error: (E120) sc_export instance has no interface: init.init_socket_export_0

In file: xxxxx/sysc/communication/sc_export.h:174 (systemc 2.3.3)

In file: xxxxx/sysc/communication/sc_export.h:166 (systemc 2.3.1)

查看systemC spec，发现port绑定时确实有一些限制，16.1.1.2 章节有如下描述。

同时，在13.1 章节 P462 有以下绑定示例。此实例中，由于Initiator 和Target 类中都是 tlm socket，故struct Parent_of_initiator中进行绑定时，initiator->init_socket.bind( init_socket ); 也可以写成 init_socket.bind(initiator->init_socket)。但 如果Initiator类中定义的是 simple socket，则必须采用上述表格中的bind方式。

如下给出一个自己写的实例，并给出错误的写法
