2. Why?
Ever wondered if it is possible to create a series of port,
export, modules or any object of other type.
Well, sc_vector to rescue and save your time.
Systemc has a class sc_vector which provide member function
for picking out elements of vector and port binding.

3. What?
sc_vector<T> where T is a type derived from sc_object
The size of vector can be set only once when the vector is
constructed or using a call to member function init()
Vector cannot be resized dynamically

4. Two ways of setting size of vector
sc_vector<sc_port<i_f>> ports;
sc_vector<sc_signal<bool>> signals;
SC_CTOR(my_module): ports(“my_ports”,4)
{
signals.init(8);
}

5. When? & where?- Port binding
sc_vector<sc_inout<int> > port_type;
sc_vector<sc_signal<int> > signal_type;
struct M: sc_module {
port_type ports;
M(sc_module_name name, int N): ports(“my_ports”,N){}
};

6. struct Top: sc_module {
signal_type sigs;
M *m1, *m2;
Top(sc_mdoule_name name), sigs(“sigs”,4){
M1 = new M(“m1”,4);
M2 = new M(“m2”,4);
port_type::iterator it;
it = m1->port.bind(sigs); // Bind all 4 element of vector
port to all 4 element of vector sigs
