Scoreboard: Add Default value to flush, or add new flush procedure to empty scoreboard

[SkydiverTricky]

I would like to empty all expected data from a scoreboard. For example, when a reset occurs in the middle of a test, it might be appropriate to just empty all queues in the scoreboard and start again.

I previously used this, but it is not appropriate because it destroys all the configured IDs and any other config:

queue_reset_proc : process(axi_reset)
  begin
    if axi_reset = '1' then
      sboard.Deallocate;
      sboard.Initialize;
    end if;
  end process;

You could use the following, but using the flush procedure seems more appropriate:

queue_reset_proc : process(axi_reset)
    variable dump    : axi_if'subtype;
  begin
    if axi_reset = '1' then
      while not sboard.empty loop
        dump  := sboard.pop;
      end loop;
    end if;
  end process;

Have you tried:
sboard.Flush(sboard.GetItemCount) ;

Easy to add, but given the above, do you still want it? Indexed scoreboards keep their own item count, so those would also be simple. Tagged scoreboards probably require a little more work and may warrant the overloading.

Makes sense. Ill get this closed.
