I have gotten this fascinating exception (no additional backtrace, that's it) in rocket-chip Chisel elaboration.

[info] [0.003] Elaborating design...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Exception thrown when elaborating ChiselGeneratorAnnotation
Try --help for more information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception: sbt.TrapExitSecurityException thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "run-main-0"

This is from PR https://github.com/chipsalliance/rocket-chip/pull/2310. I have managed to hose the generator so completely with so little information in a way I've never seen before. Anyone know what this sort of error means?

Is there any more info below the last line? From stackoverflow.com/questions/21464673/… this can be caused by a few things, like calling sys.exit(...) or circular dependencies in inheritance. - Jack Koenig

I believe this is due to a recent PR to add Staged Compile: https://github.com/chipsalliance/rocket-chip/pull/2274/files
