Flow Ports In C

[DjCisco]

Hi Community,

I am trying to build a Model in C and I want to use flow ports to transmit a value from one "Class" to another.

In C++ if Class A is connected to Class B via flow ports , one can automatically update the values linked to the flow ports in Class A & B.


To do this in C++ one must change the value of the linked attribute by using the corresponding "set" method.

I wish to perform the same thing in C. Rhasody in C however does not create the "set" methods for defined attributes. Does anyone know how flow ports are used in C.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Basically Rhapsody in C uses the very same mechanism and the same rules.

There are two default settings in Rhapsody in C, which differ from C++, and which cause the problem you see:
C_CG::Attribute::AccessorGenerate is cleared
C_CG::Attribute::MutatorGenerate is set to Never

You have to enable Accessor and Mutator generation for each attribute, that shall be connected to a flow port of the same name and same data type. If more or all attributes need Accessor/Mutator then it may be easier to set these properties on class, package, configuration, component or project level... or via a custom Stereotype (setting both properties) assigned to one of these levels.

There may be more interesting properties in context of flow ports, like:
C_CG::flowPort::InvokeRelay
C_CG::flowPort::ReceiveRelay
C_CG::flowPort::SupportMulticast

And of course the rule for creating a change event by manually using get$attribute:c for the event name.

Hope this helps!
