HLS build fail in Windows 10

[richard12345]

Hi , 

This is Richard from SystemView inc.

When i build HLS in windows 10, it comes 

C:/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/win64/tools/clang/bin\..\lib\clang\3.1/../../../include/c++/4.5.2\exception_ptr.h:132:13: error: unknown type name 'type_info'
      const type_info*

C:/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/win64/tools/clang/bin\..\lib\clang\3.1/../../../include/c++/4.5.2\nested_exception.h:62:5: error: the parameter for this explicitly-defaulted copy constructor is const, but a member or base requires it to be non-const
    nested_exception(const nested_exception&) = default;

the same code has no problem in Linux environment.

@richard12345 Can you post the actual code you are trying to compile? Perhaps just the offending part...

What version of HLS you're running on Windows? And on Linux?

Hi hbucher,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Please find the actual code as attachment.

I am using Vivado 2017.4, both of windows and linux are this version.

Best regards

Hi Balkrishan,

I am using Windows 10 Professional Creators Update (64-bit), English.

There are some log info as attachment, could you help to look at it.

There are some one who face the same issue, https://github.com/jingpu/Halide-HLS/issues/5

i follow his instruction, modify the file of 

C:/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/win64/tools/clang/bin\..\lib\clang\3.1/../../../include/c++/4.5.2\exception_ptr.h:134:13

and

C:/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/win64/tools/clang/bin\..\lib\clang\3.1/../../../include/c++/4.5.2\nested_exception.h:62:5

But i do not want to touch Vivado files, so i want to check whether there are other solutions without touch vivado files.

Best regards

Richard

@richard12345  This is not a normal HLS project. It has a custom makefile. It points to files external to the project that are not included. 

Can you create a new HLS project with a snippet of code that does not compile?

I cannot help much in the present case.

Hi hbucher,

i have reorganize the code, you can simply do make in windows os, after you set vivado settings64.bat.

Then you will see the error.

Thank you again.

Hi,

The workaround I found for Vivado 2018.3 on Windows 10 is to manually edit some Vivado files.

• C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2018.3\win64\tools\clang\include\c++\4.5.2\exception_ptr.h : added the following small definition at the top of the file, as suggested here.

#ifndef _EXCEPTION_PTR_H
#define _EXCEPTION_PTR_H

#ifdef __clang__
    class type_info;
#endif

[...]

•  C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2018.3\win64\tools\clang\include\c++\4.5.2\nested_exception.h : modified two lines, 110 and 122, as follows (suggested by the error message):

// __throw_with_nested(_Ex&&, const nested_exception* = 0) // original
    __throw_with_nested(_Ex&&, const nested_exception*) // modified

I don't know if this is breaking anything else in particular, but it seems to work flawlessly now.

Best,

Stefano
