+
+Assignment of values other than 0 or 1 to an sc_bit results in a core dump
+on Sparc SC5.0 as well as g++. I used SystemC 1.0.1
+
+I can understand that only 0 and 1 make sense, so please either forbid
+assignment from an integer and cast the integer to bool first. A core dump is
+a bit to drastic.
+
+Example:
+*/
+
+#include <systemc.h>
+
+int sc_main(int argc, char* arg[]) 
+{
+    sc_bit res;
+
+    // works fine
+    res = 0;           cout << res << "\n";
+    res = 1;           cout << res << "\n";
+    res = bool(2);     cout << res << "\n";
+
+    // results in a core dump
+    res = sc_bit(2);   cout << res << "\n";
+    res = 2;          cout << res << "\n";
+
+    return 0;
+}

+Hi Gene, 
+
+I agree that the assignment of values other than 0,1 doesn't make much sense, so please go ahead
+and forbid it in one way or another. However, such an illegal assignment may easily happen in a 
+user-program because the compiler accepts it. It very easy to write. 
+
+The point I dislike is that the class library immediately core dumps without any warning or
+explanation. Does SystemC throw an exception? I don't know and I most likely will not write
+an exception handler, therefore I will never know. I just see that the SystemC kernel core
+dumps.
+
+What about an assert statement such like
+	assert(v==0 || v==1);
+That should me as the user a precise and reasonable explanation that I made a mistake. I could
+also accept an error message like E200x or so coming like when I enter illlegal bit characters,
+e.g. sc_bv<10>="102abd00". But please, not just a core dump.
+
+

+
+Hi Gene, I still only ask that the program does not core dump and instead prints an error
+message or warning like it does for sc_logic. I only object to the core dump itself. Example:
+
+
+int main(int argc, char* arg[]) 
+{
+  sc_logic l (5);
+  cout << l << "\n";
+
+  sc_bit b(2);
+  cout << b << "\n";
+}
+
+Both are invalid assignments. The first one prompt a warning (1006), the second a core
+dump. Both should prompt warnings/run time errors.
+
+I reduce the prioity to B2 because it's now only a matter of properly reporting an error.
+
+Other than
+this, I can share your view that assigning 2 is a user error.
