Based on the 64-bit ELF ABI for Power systems (ppc64 and
ppc64le), the data types int64_t and uint64_t are typedefs
of long and unsigned long respectively. If the SystemC
data types int64 and uint64 point to these, several errors
are observed while building the simulator on Power systems
due to ambiguity between the types when overloading some
operators and functions.
E.g.
...
build/POWER/systemc/ext/channel/../dt/bit/sc_bit.hh:114:17: error: 'static bool sc_dt::sc_bit::to_value(sc_dt::int64)' cannot be overloaded with 'static bool sc_dt::sc_bit::to_value(long int)'
114 | static bool to_value(tp i) { return to_value((int)i); }
| ^~~~~~~~
...
build/POWER/systemc/ext/channel/../dt/bit/sc_bit.hh:114:17: note: previous declaration 'static bool sc_dt::sc_bit::to_value(long int)'
114 | static bool to_value(tp i) { return to_value((int)i); }
| ^~~~~~~~
...
This adds a minor change to a SystemC datatype header to
ensure that the simulator can be built on Power systems.

This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
