This chapter describes all functionality that is currently deprecated or legacy, and, in the former case, when it will be removed, including items removed in the current release. There are also suggestions on replacements.
Functionality initially deprecated in Simics 4.8, corresponding to the Simics 4.6 API.

Modulo calculation in fixed sized arguments will be deprecated in Simics 7.
In Simics 6, a warning will be printed when module calculation is required
to fit into the type. The CLI argument types
int8_t, int16_t, int32_t, int64_t
integer_t, sint8_t, sint16_t, sint32_t
sint64_t, uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t
uint64_t will warn once if module calculation is required when calling a command.
Use only values that fit in the argument type.
If required, use the
unsigned* commands:
