Issues with the use of the flag "-fintelfpga"

Hello! We are trying to use the emulator to check the results of an algorithm and we have found that the execution fails when we use the "-fintelfpga" flag. The running example is a simple "triad" ...

Hello!

Thank you for the attention.

The specific example I was referring to was the one in: https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/get-started/base-toolkit/

In the Vector-Add example when we do "make fpga_emu -f Makefile.fpga" we are using "-fintelfpga" to compile when we want to use the emulator.

In addition, the -fintelfpga flag to use the emulator is also used in all the examples that use FPGA within the BaseKit-code-samples/DPC++Compiler folder. For example, in "FPGATutorials/BestPractices/double_buffering/" when using "set(EMULATOR_COMPILE_FLAGS"-fintelfpga -DFPGA_EMULATOR")" in the CMakeLists.txt, as well as in all other examples in the "FPGAExampleDesigns/" and "FPGATutorials/" directories.

So I assumed that the use of "-fintelfpga" is necessary to use the emulator.

Regards.
