Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015

[Wesley Kirk]

Hi, I'm just getting started with SystemC and I'm having trouble getting the examples to work. I have started with simple_bus because it was one of the failing tests under Cygwin64. So I wanted to try Visual C++ because it is supposed to be one of the supported platforms. I downloaded and installed the latest, which is 

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015. I loaded the systemc Solution provided by the SystemC download and it built successfully. I see a systemc.lib in this folder:

 

msvc80\SystemC\Debug

 

Then I loaded the examples Solution, selected the simple_bus project, and then started the build. I get the following errors. Anyone have any ideas?

I was able to get simple_bus example to build and run properly (output matches golden.log) by commenting out line 118 of systemc.h. Here is the snippet:

    using std::getc;
    using std::getchar;
//    using std::gets;    // wkk
    using std::putc;
    using std::putchar;

Now I just get a few warnings about my compiler being "unknown".

gets has been deprecated in C++. It should not be used anymore.

[Wesley Kirk]

Ah. I guess eventually they will remove its usage from systemc.h then.

I am also seeing this issue. How can users raise issues against the SystemC libraries?

 

Is a fix planned?

[Roman Popov]

We are facing this too. Hope to see VS2015 support soon. There are issues with modern C++ support in VS2013.

Hi installed the latest version 2.3.1 and I have an error saying gets is not member of std. I have commented that line still does not work.

What exactly does not work for you?

Did you tried 2.3.2 draft? http://www.accellera.org/downloads/drafts-review
