A SystemC installl problem on Ubuntu

[katang]

I made a new installation on Ubuntu 18.04, and followed instructions in

https://howto.tech.blog/2016/11/27/installing-systemc-2-3-1/

Apparently it worked fine, but at the last step it gave the error message

$ g++ -I. -I$SYSTEMC_HOME/include -L. -L$SYSTEMC_HOME/lib-linux64 -Wl,-rpath=$SYSTEMC_HOME/lib-linux64 -o hello Hello.cpp -lsystemc -lm
In file included from Hello.cpp:1:0:
/usr/local/systemc-2.3.1//include/systemc.h:120:16: error: ‘std::gets’ has not been declared
     using std::gets;
                ^~~~

Is there an error in my install? (SystemC install seemed to run without error message)

This issue has been fixed in the SystemC 2.3.2 release available from the Accellera website. The function std::gets was definitely removed in the C'11 standard and deprecated in the C++'11 standard so that recent compilers do not provide it anymore as its semantics constitutes a security risk due to buffer overflows.

Hello @katang,

Is there a specific reason for using SystemC 2.3.1 release?

This issue has already been fixed in the SystemC 2.3.2 release as mentioned by @maehne.

Thanks for all replies. In my other environments, I use 2.3.1. So I must upgrade this one or all the others.

If it is necessary for you to stick with SystemC 2.3.1, you can simply comment out the offending line in systemc.h. The function is nowhere used inside the proof-of-concept implementation of SystemC.
