Change for split requests #257
Conversation

One thing that's missing is updates to numOutstandingMemReqs. Right now, this is going to go below 0 (we should probably add an assert on (new) line 320.
Right now, there is just one memory request added for a split packet, but we are subtracting twice. We should either only subtract when we receive both packets or we should add twice. I think the latter would be better.

I think the following works in modern C++.

| return {pkt, split_pkt}; |

I think this is right, but you should double check me :).

Why do we increment the outstanding requests when the packet is failed?

sorry, I pushed the wrong version earlier

Again, why increcement when it fails?

This comment is for the other side of the branch, not this side.

If I have understood correctly, the place of the comment should be changed?

Added/fixed comments to hopefully make things better and not worse

I'm not sure how to interpret this statement. Otherwise, it looks good.
Has not been extensively tested yet.
