Runtime exception when running SystemC 2.3.3 under MS Visual Studio 2019

[Mohamed A. Bamakhrama]

Hi all,

I am running into a very weird exception when I try to build SystemC applications that contain `SC_THREAD` under Visual Studio 2019. I managed to prepare a small reproduction example (see attached file) which looks like:

#include <systemc>

SC_MODULE(Test) {
  SC_HAS_PROCESS(Test);

  explicit Test(sc_core::sc_module_name name)
      : sc_module(name) {
    SC_THREAD(busy);
  }

  void busy(void) {
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      sc_core::wait(1, sc_core::SC_NS);
      printf("busy\n");
    }
    sc_core::sc_stop();
  }
};

int sc_main(int, char *[]) {
  Test ttt("ttt");

  sc_core::sc_start();

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The program is compiled using the attached CMakeLists.txt file. Upon execution, it runs into an exception and when I look in the debugger, the exception comes from:

The same program runs without any issues when compiled using GCC 9.2 on CentOS 7. On Windows, I am using Windows 10 with VS 2019 Enterprise.
Did anyone else run into similar issues when trying SystemC 2.3.3 with VS 2019?

 

Edit 1: Issue has been resolved. It turns out that you need to pass `/GR` and  `/vmg` in the compile flags.

 

Best Regards,
