Compilation error while building NVDLA CMOD

[ghost]

I followed "http://nvdla.org/vp.html" document to get the NVDLA Virtual Platform up and running but encountered a compilation error in section 2.3.4. while executing the command "tools/bin/tmake -build cmod_top".

Using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, all the required directories for systemC, g++, perl were provided properly in the tree.make file in the previous step in section 2.3.4

Attaching a screenshot of the compilation error below

You're getting this error because your compiler doesn't like that a templated member function is being used without the template keyword.

You can easily fix the error by changing the line to the following:
return ((ac_fixed<AC_MAX(I,1),AC_MAX(I,1),S>) *this).template slc<AC_MAX(I,1)>(0);

If you run into any other errors of this kind (you will) you can use the same fix.

That issue would be fixed long time ago if comments in the pull requests were considered. Sadly this repository seems to have 'nobody-cares' status at NVIDIA.

Hi @asgarpasha , version 3.9.0 of ac_types is integrated to branch master. @mmaciag found such issue before. see #191 (comment) . branch nv_small is not updated yet. If you are using branch nv_small, you can perform a cherry-pick.

Hey, @asgarpasha. Which branch are you compiling? Is it master or nvdlav1?
