The cprintf functions don't know ahead of time what format characters are going to be used with what underlying data types, and so any type must be minimally usable with the default specialization of format_integer, format_char, format_float and format_string. All of those functions ultimately print their parameter with out << data except the one which prints stringstreams. That function accesses the buffer of the string stream with .str(), and then prints that instead. That should technically work out ok as long as stringstreams are only printed using %s, but there's no way to guarantee that ahead of time. To avoid that problem, and because gem5 doesn't ever actually use the ability to print stringstreams directly, this change removes that feature and modifies the corresponding part of the unit test. If we ever do want to print the contents of a string stream, it won't be difficult to add a .str() to it.

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/Introduction, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials. 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/Dependencies 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 ALPHA, 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/Build_System for more details and options. With the simulator built, have a look at http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use gem5. 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. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at http://www.gem5.org/Download If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
