Releasing Simulator-Bindings

1. List Simics-Base package versions in simics-api-sys/build.rs by running:

ispm packages --list-available --json \
    | awk '/\{/,EOF' \
    | jq -r '.availablePackages[] | select(.pkgNumber == 1000) | .version' \
    | tac \
    | grep -v pre \
    | sed -ne '/6.0.163/,$ p'

2. Update command at bottom of simics-api-sys/build.rs with any missing versions from the list

3. Install all supported Simics-Base package versions (update command with latest versions, here 6.0.207 and 7.0.20)

kinit; ispm packages -i 1000-6.0.{163..207} 1000-7.{0..20}.0

4. Run the gen-api-items.rs script using the command in simics-api-sys/build.rs like:

./scripts/gen-simics-api-items.rs \

5. Build high-level bindings for any new features that merit inclusion. Not all features have high-level bindings, but most do. These high level bindings should utilize the versioned cfg() directives.

6. Run check script: ./check.sh

   • This will report issues with formatting (C and Python formatting can be ignored for releases, markdown and Rust issues should be fixed)
   • This will perform most checks done in CI including dependencies
   • Any dependencies that are outdated or flag vulnerabilities in audits should be updated
   • Any code which has breaking changes (very rare) should be fixed
