1. what are the preloaded methods use to load into memory, please mention preloaded methods? 2. When and How to Load C binary file or image into memory?3. After loaded C binary file or image, How execution happens backside from SV to C vice versa ?Please give me idea or link or document related to above?

Hi, I recently experienced an issue related to the static sc_vpool objects used in some classes in the SystemC kernel. Here is an example: #include <systemc.h> class Dummy { public: Dummy(int a) { sc_int<32> my_int(a); my_int(2,1); } }; Dummy dummy(12); int sc_main(int argc , char *argv[]) { return 0; } This program crashes at startup with the following stack trace: #0 0x0000000000404e66 in sc_dt::sc_int_subref_r::initialize (this=0x0, obj_p=0x7fffffffdde0, left_i=2, right_i=1) at /remote/vgrnd104/julient/OSCI/linux/systemc-2.3.3/include/sysc/datatypes/int/sc_int_base.h:338 #1 0x0000000000405102 in sc_dt::sc_int_base::operator() (this=0x7fffffffdde0, left=2, right=1) at /remote/vgrnd104/julient/OSCI/linux/systemc-2.3.3/include/sysc/datatypes/int/sc_int_base.h:1282 #2 0x000000000040513f in Dummy::Dummy (this=0x701b11 <dummy>, a=12) at test.cpp:7 #3 0x0000000000404d81 in __static_initialization_and_destruction_0 (__initialize_p=1, __priority=65535) at test.cpp:11 #4 0x0000000000404d97 in _GLOBAL__sub_I_dummy () at test.cpp:15 #5 0x00000000004c623d in __libc_csu_init () #6 0x00007ffff702ecb0 in __libc_start_main () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #7 0x0000000000404c29 in _start () Note that the example only crashes when it is statically linked to the SystemC library. It does not crash when it is dynamically linked to the SystemC library. This crash is caused by a wrong order of initialization of the static and global objects: - The dummy global variable is initialized first. - The constructor of Dummy calls sc_int_base::operator() which uses the static sc_int_subref::m_pool object (sc_int_base.h line 1281). - But m_pool has not yet been created. This leads to the crash. So this crash is a typical static initialization order fiasco situation. However, the above example is very simple and does nothing uncommon. And the crash is related to an internal implementation of the SystemC kernel. So it is very hard for the SystemC user to understand why his program crashes and why he should change his code to make it work. So I would suggest to change the internal implementation to avoid using static sc_vpool objects. Current implementation: sc_int_base.h line 527: static sc_core::sc_vpool<sc_int_subref> m_pool; sc_int_base.h line 1281: sc_int_subref* result_p = sc_int_subref::m_pool.allocate(); Maybe I'm missing something, but the following might be a possible new implementation: sc_int_base.h line 527: static sc_core::sc_vpool<sc_int_subref>& pool() { static sc_core::sc_vpool<sc_int_subref> subref_pool; return subref_pool; } sc_int_base.h line 1281: sc_int_subref* result_p = sc_int_subref::pool().allocate(); Similar changes should be done for all the static sc_vpool objects. Thus, static sc_vpool objects would not be necessary anymore, and this would avoid this crash. Any opinion about that? Thanks. Julien

Hello friend, I am super beginner. I am trying to run this example code http://www.asic-world.com/systemc/first1.html#Counter_Design_Specs counter design and counter testbench on my systemc with visual studio. So I got two error. Here I put the error together. Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error (active) E0304 no instance of overloaded function "sc_start" matches the argument list Project1 C:\Users\60182\source\repos\Project1\Project1\first_counter_tb.cpp 17 Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error C2665 'sc_core::sc_start': none of the 4 overloads could convert all the argument types Project1 c:\users\60182\source\repos\project1\project1\first_counter_tb.cpp 17

I am new to systemc in ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to setup up eclipse for a systemc small project. I followed the the provided README in systemc-2.3.1 and the INSTALL to install the library. I then used tutorial here to set up eclipse. The problem is that I have a syntax error tell me that sc_signal_resolved could not be resolved. below is a sample of my code: #include <systemc.h> int sc_main(int argc, char ** argv) { sc_signal_resolved zero, one; // in the rest of the code I will use the zero and one passing them to some gates. return(0); } Please how do I solve this. In Windows with visual studio I have no problem.

Hi, I have testbench in uvm environment. I want to call uvm_test from a c++ file. That will be my testcase. example: class basic_test extends from uvm_test; ..... endclass I want to call basic_test inside a c++ file. Let me know, if you need any further information. Thanks, Satya
