Example3

This code runs a counter 10 times, since the SC_METHOD is executed every every 10ns. It is important to remember that a method expect to have a next_trigger function at the end, otherwise it will be executed only once. This is clearly visible from the output of the program

Counter initialized
Counter value: 0
Counter no next trigger value: 0
Counter value: 1
Counter value: 2
Counter value: 3
Counter value: 4
Counter value: 5
Counter value: 6
Counter value: 7
Counter value: 8
Counter value: 9

The reason behind stands in the fact that the SC_METHOD can be seen as a programming function. This means that is executed only one when called. To schedule another execution, the next_trigger should be specified

It is also important to remember that the method should be initialized in the SC_CTOR. This is needed because SystemC must register it in the simulation kernel.

SC_CTOR(counter){
    ...
    SC_METHOD(count);
    SC_METHOD(count_no_next_trigger);
}
